I told a friend of mine, when it first came out, NOT to buy Apple's so-called "iPad" because she will be buying an already outdated garbage model as soon as she gets it because Apple will, within a few months to a year, fuck the public in the ass by coming out with an "iPad 2" just as soon as they sell enough iPad originals to the world of Apple zombies.

I told her it will be around Feb. or March 2011, anddddddddddd ta ta! Sure enough, Apple just announces the "iPad 2" coming out this month.

And, of course, all of the Apple zombies will line up like good little slaves and buy Steve's latest piece of worthless Apple shit.

It doesn't seem to bother all the little Apple zombies that the iPad 2 has "new" features in it that COULD have and SHOULD have been included in the iPad original. Apple zombies don't think about these things, they don't think at all for that matter as far as I can tell.

One of its new features is that it is "thinner" ...who gives a fuck, how damn thin does it need to be? They could have made the first one "thinner" but then they would have less to con the public with in the iPad2.

They have also "added" a lot of "features" that could have and should have been in the iPad original like two cameras (gee Steve, did Apple just discover web cams or did you deliberately leave them out of the first piece of Apple shit so you could claim the iPad2 is "new?").

In other words, Apple didn't come out with the best that they could in the iPad original, they deliberately sold a scaled down piece of shit knowing that they would sell a pile of them to Apple idiots AND...wait for it...sell the "new one" to the SAME pile of Apple idiots who will line up to buy them because they "have to have the latest Apple and Steve has to offer." Holy shit are these people ever fucking STUPID!!

By the way, my friend, Barbara, called me today and said (and I quote); "Wow, I am glad I didn't buy one, Tony, you were right, Apple did come out with the iPad 2 exactly when you said they would...including a lot of new things that looks like it surely needed to be in old one."

   Notice she is already calling the iPad original "old."

You see the Futurama episode about the "Eye-Phone?"

Ha! Haven't seen that, will check it out. Do you know what episode is it?

I learned my lesson as far as Apple is concerned about four years ago.  Got a an iPod and absolutely loved it.  I took it everywhere, including the gym, the car, you name it.  But a few months in, I realized that it didn't seem to hold its charges as well as it used to, and it began dying down after four hours instead of six to eight.  "No big deal", I figured.  "I'll just buy a new battery for it."

After scouring the Internet and not finding any "replacement batteries" for the iPod, I finally looked at the technical stats on Wikipedia and found, to my absolute horror, that no end-user replacement batteries existed!  You have to send your iPod to Apple and have a new battery professionally installed, for a fee of course.  The only thing I could think to myself after reading that was, "how the Hell is the iPod so successful when its batteries are terminally ill and irreplaceable?!?!"

Six months later, after some extensive research into good iPod alternatives, I ended up buying a Creative Zen Micro, which has very inexpensive batteries that are EASILY REPLACEABLE by the end-user.  It was about half the price of the comparably-equipped iPod model of the time (on eBay at least) and in my experience was as good, if not better, than the vaunted iPod.  They say "you get what you pay for", but sometimes, you really do pay more just for brand prestige than quality.
