Living Room / Re: Yea, I won't be getting an iPad anytime soon
« on: April 15, 2010, 12:24 PM »
I spoke to someone who had an ipad & he said  "It's not what it does but how it does it." which I think sums up the usp of most of apples products.

I think it will fly off the shelves & once apps start appearing it will have a life of it's own as far as sales go.

If I had the money I would buy one for my mum, she hates computers & I think it would be perfect for her.

If it did multi tasking I might get one for myself, or maybe wait for the new iPhone?!

Yes, I am not sure how much of a pull the brand name is anymore, it's hayday was what, 10-15 yrs ago? Could be worth a bit of PR but isn't it better to spend all that money on R & D to come up with something brave & new.

How about an augmented reality based computer system. Stick a projector in there or some glasses with screens, a glove or something for input, put it all in a backpack & make it interact with physical objects..

Hey Mouser, 23000 posts, wow  8)

I think that it is true in most sphere's of life that successful people don't play by the rules. The rules were invented to keep the little people where they are and the successful people where they are.

A good example is the tax system. In the UK if you are wealthy you pay very little, if any tax (expensive accountants/lawyers + very accommodating government) but anyone on middle income playing by the rules pays heavily (up to 50%). I am sure most other countries are similar.

However, I am not saying this is good or bad, just making the point.

I have always loved this tune from Daft Punk circa 2001. It was sampled by Kanye West many years later, 80's cartoon type video as well (anyone remember G-Force?)
