made a rare exception and clicked into a steffy P blog post. what an idiot:

[...] And many critics point to things [the iPad] doesn’t have. It has no USB. The battery can’t be removed. No multitasking. Well this is silly, in my view. You don’t buy something for what it can’t do but for what it can. [...]

the mark of a true psycho: he begins correctly; yes, you buy not something for what it can’t do. laugh this is silly? the critics are noting why they won’t buy an iPad. what it can and can’t do are essentially the same property, unless you’re an “intellectual property” lawyer. sounds like a unicorn tears overdose.

gets better. nearly immediately after the drivel quoted above:

[...] So what is my view of the iPad after getting one? Well, it is gorgeous and well made. It is fun to use. It is useful. But like Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak, I was hoping I might be able to use it as a laptop replacement. And I think—probably, it can’t be. The basic reason? It has no (real) keyboard. [...]

laughing out loud at this exalted retard. turns out he — hold your breath — bought an iPad for what it can’t do.

while window-shopping netbooks last month i commented that i’d love to see them add a phone to the package. the sales guy groaned a bit, almost like i was nuts. looking at the apple iPad though, my opinion’s even stronger. of course phones will eventually be added to computers usable by more than scrunched thumbs or fingers. most of what i do on a computer and smartphone would work well on a phoned netbook or similar. i want one gizmo instead of the 5 trailing from my pockets.

at a bike race in the early 90s i asserted that, naturally, bike computers would eventually incorporate GPS with cadence, heart rate, and barometric altimeter for detailed 3D analysis later on home computer. the old fogy ref nearby gave me a similar “what the fuck are you talking about” groan, since GPS was barely alive even in airplanes then.
