No, I'm NOT retarded, thankyou.

[GrinningManiac]

To be honest, I always felt that Apple appeals to three crowds: the people who hate Windows but are too retarded to figure out Ubuntu, pretentious artfags, and the people who belong in the "the most expensive item on the market is the best" train of thought.

Although I suspect the last one is the smaller crowd.

I concur

COMPLETLEY

Today, whilst discussing the iPad with my friends, I came to the conclusion that, by the 31st century, Steve Jobs will have taken over the EARTH. Everything will be an i-something, even pigeons, which will be programmed with latent interfaces to fly past and crap spam leaflets on your i-face. We'll all live in i-houses, in which EVERYTHING will be a touchscreen interface or have touchscreen capabilities

Everyone will work for Apple. EVERYTHING will have abstract interfaces over them that allow you to acsess the Great Apple Computer for whatever you want or need, even things like a dog or a tree.

I reasoned that Steve would be intergrated into every i-product, and would be able to see out of everyone's eyes and hear everyone's thoughts and be aware of everything ever all at once, reoccurring indefinatley. The feedback loop of two people looking into each other's eyes or having a conversation would break open his mind

He'd go mad

From this, I somehow came to the logical conclusion that we should kill Steve now before he takes over the world. To do this, I'll need a crack team of teenage lie-abouts.

[firedfns13]

Ooooh, magic?

Will it cast fireballs too?

Just flare.

 

[Fraught]

So this thread is just because they used the word 'magical' to praise their newest product?

REALLY?!

 

[Ham_authority95]

Its this!

Only with sparkly buttons and its 1000x more expensive!

You got it sir

 

[Vigilantis]

Omg Magic?! Sign me up for a lifetime subscription to fairy dust and arcane arts

 

[Thaius]

... Seriously? Apple uses he word "magic" in their advertisements and you assume they actually want people to believe it's a magical device?

It's advertising. Here's a tip for if you ever write anything with an ounce of creativity in it: words like "magical" don't have to be limited to literal use. You seriously read this and thought they were trying to convince people that the iPad is magical?

Seriously? I think you're just trying to hate on Apple in any way possible. Come on.

EDIT:

So this thread is just because they used the word 'magical' to praise their newest product?

Exactly: what he said.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

When I saw iPad, I honest to God thought that was a typo.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

It's only 500 bucks. Must be some pretty shitty magic, but I hear it can cast Ray of Frost. Too bad Ray of Frost never fucking hits!

 

[Daffy F]

Ooooh, magic?

Will it cast fireballs too?

If it doesn't at least do this I will be VERY dissapointed.

 

[Sleekgiant]

They could put an apple symbol on a turd( or a uwe boll movie,zing) and people would still buy things from them

 

[DanDeFool]

$500 to read a book, play semi-portable games, surf the web, and just simply sinc with the rest of your Ithings. A macfag will get it, but i don't see how someone could justify the purchase otherwise when a webbook would be just fine.

I'll bet it's really good for playing FarmVille! :}

But yeah, it sounds like something that does stuff regular laptops already do (and can do better, in all probability), but portable. I'll admit, the portability is cool, but other than that it just seems like a laptop with no keyboard.

Now, if you could use it as a drawing tablet (like a WACOM tablet, for example) that would be really neat. I don't think you can though; the touch pad probably doesn't have high enough resolution for that sort of thing.

 

[RatRace123]

Apple wants the populace to buy its thing
The majority of the populace is dumb
Therefore, the thing is marketed towards the dumb.

 

[Deleted]

Apple could sell a white box for holding apple products and fanboys (or old people) would still buy it.

 

[Arc_Light]

Hey I like magic, i'll put my magic box next to sham wow, and all my tv bought exercise machines.... they're magic aren't they?

 

[Not Good]

Flash drives > any portable device. Come on I can slag these fuckers wherever I want because they're so damn compact. And they'll fit practically every computer in the world.

 

[ctrl-alt-postal]

Why not call it magic? Could you go out into the forest and assemble a simple tape player from the raw materials, let alone an iPod? To the practical purposes of greater than 99% of the Earth's population, technology may as well be magic.

No, but I could tell you how to do so. Knowledge equals not capability. If you mean 99% of the population does not know how to do so, and might as well call it magic, I do concur.

.....

Well, FLASH! It's gone!!!

A magic trick no-one appreciates.

^^^ This sums up MAC marketing, IMO.
