With love, from Apple fanboy
This is in reply to this post about iPad. First of all let me take care of all the things which are not present in my post:
Zero tactile feedback on the iPad. Oh well. Does Mozilla tell users that it can’t install a plugin because it thinks the plugin copies core browser functionality? Does Mozilla arbitrarily ban plugins?
I have nowhere talked about the input mechanism of the iPad nor about the Appstore policies. So these two don’t make any sense just like the rest of it.
If you are going to throw numbers at me and tell me that the App Store sold 140, 000 apps and still counting and that Apple made enough money to buy the entire African continent, you are reaffirming your fanboyism. Far from being a counter-argument, it makes you sound asinine.
There are 140000 apps available for download in the App Store. The total number of application downloads is 3 billion+. These are straight facts and I don’t see any fanboyism here. If stating facts sounds asinine, you need to check the dictionary. I recommend Merriam-Webster.
Next in line is my biggest complaint so far: the issue of multitasking. I got the most typical fanboy response to this: who needs multitasking on a media-device?
I am just citing sources regarding multitasking and the world does not stop if there is no multitasking.
Flash made it possible to have bandwidth-friendly sizes for animations that were previously unthinkable.
Nobody is questioning the role of Flash. As per the post by John Gruber, the single most factor for browser crashes on Mac is Flash. Did you even read it? Click the link above, the site does not run flash and will not crash your browser, I promise.
Which is exactly why the manifestation of the iPad, severely below my expectations, has made me very, very angry, knowing fully well that Apple doesn’t care about its loyal converts like me.
Sir, Apple does not make products as per your expectations and you are no Steve Jobs either, far from it.
Fuck my life
No one’s stopping you. Thanks!
