Re: [CGUYS] Apple looks in rear view mirror..hopes objects only appear to be closer than they are
The problem Android has with apps is there are so many decent free ones that I don't think about paying for them. I've only had the phone for a couple of months but I have yet to be tempted by a paid app. On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 11:42 PM, mike xha...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry but I have both Android and an iPod touch...there are flaky apps on both platforms.

See, there is another example of your faulty reasoning. The assertion you have just made is not at all related to my assertion. And then you will go on and on insisting that it has monumental significance. Sorry, no.

We won't miss you, but don't start whining later that nobody tried to wake you up. In case you never noticed, there exists in this world very wide and diverse areas of interest for persons of all stripes. I have varied interests that I pursue, computers being but one of them. I do not earn enough money to be able to invest in new devices in each and every one of those areas of interest. Even if I did nave sufficient funding to be able to buy all the new devices that appear in the marketplace that would entice me, I'd never find the time to get familiar with or learn how to competently use them all anyway. In fact, revolutionary or evolutionary developments occur routinely in all realms, and quite frankly these take place so frequently that I have a difficult time keeping up with all those that I would be interested in. Facing this conundrum, I have to make choices about where to spend my limited financial resources as well as upon what to spend my time. I make those choices based upon my primary needs as I have previously described. In my world, that means that almost uncountable numbers of new products of all sorts have to be bypassed. Some folks have very singular areas of interest, and are thus able to narrowly focus upon items solely within that particular landscape. Perhaps they are thus luckier than I am and are able to gobble up just about anything new that comes along because their field of view is so narrow. Bully for them. Just because I do not have the particular new consumer computing product that you suppose to be and actively promote to be the be all and end all is of such minor consequence to me that I really do not know why I am even bothering to write this. That being the case, I shall now delve into something else that piques my interest a lot more.

This revolution as you call it, this electronic device/tool/toy, whatever, represents an incredibly and infinitesimally minor revolution as revolutions go. Total iPad sales thus far appear to indicate that this revolution has reached but 0.0004 percent of the world's population. I would not knock it, and it is a nice device, but a revolution for the world? Nah.

You mean like the voodoo cultists in our ranks who expect Apple to bend the electronic flux using the power of pure design? No, why do you ask?

Re: [CGUYS] Fwd: Re: [dcpilots] Re: Chart availability
It has not reached you nor the people in Zimbabwe. Bitter, bitter, bitter. I love my iPad and I love showing it off. I have showed it to many people who promptly decided they want one too -- present company exempted. It is the computer of our dreams, now achieved in reality.

Oh, it has reached me and is fully within my grasp...if I wanted one. I will not be enticed by yourself or by Apple's slick ads. I am smarter than that. I love my iPad and I love showing it off. I have showed it to many people who promptly decided they want one too -- present company exempted. There's that want thingy again. I see by the language you have used, and I know that you are quite literate, that those people are responding primarily to their primal and emotional urges as opposed to any real need they may have for the device. I am learning to control those urges and as a result of the revelation that has bestowed upon me, I find that things I really need provide me with greater satisfaction and utility in the long run. As I said earlier, I am not the ideal consumer. Steve *** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***

I love my iPad and I love showing it off. Well, that's honest. I certainly take pride of ownership in some things I have, but unfortunately they aren't things that make even a blip on popular culture's radar. And I won't even speak of value here. Whatever floats your boat, as they say. *** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***
