Here is an interesting BBC News story about politics that I think has
a close connection to how some are reacting to the iPad.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8474611.stm
Why do people often vote against their own interests?
"Political scientist Dr David Runciman looks at why is there often
such deep opposition to reforms that appear to be of obvious benefit
to voters."
"Right-wing politics has become a vehicle for channelling this popular
anger against intellectual snobs."
"It's like a French Revolution in reverse in which the workers come
pouring down the street screaming more power to the aristocracy."
In other words, Apple's constant success and innovation inspires deep
hatred merely because Apple is so successful. The more one explains
how wonderful the iPad is, the more the opposition picks at it. They
make fun of the name. They insist that it must have a parallel port.
Etc. They cling to Windows Mobile and will be damned if they ever buy
anything from Apple.
