need a new pda/cell phone

[lurch70]

i wouldn't give them a dime ...

I like the iPad (generation 1) but honestly only use it about once a week for maybe an hour. For vacations it's fuckin' tits because it's something easy to take anywhere and figure out maps, restaurants, etc. If I had to use it instead of a regular computer I'd probably do something more useful with my time like read a book.

I liked Apple until the stupid recent "virus" thing, and the official solution for older OSX types was: "lolz just turn off Java and hope for the best." Fuckers, now BoingBoing doesn't do fancy loading on my old MacBook. Maybe that's why I bought a Droid instead of an iPhone, I dunno. Not like there is really much of a difference to a typical tard-user such as myself.

Computers and the internet are a total ripoff

 

[General Zod]

literally every "smartphone" and "tablet" is shit

I have a RAZR Maxx, and the thing is totally bad ass.

but apple is PARTICULARLY bad about building a walled garden with the tallest walls possible

I would never buy an iPhone.

 

[einride]

i dont like them because i like general purpose devices that do not dictate what you can and can't do with your own hardware

i am totally against it ... but the wife wants one.

good thing Apple has a 30 day return policy. we'll see.

i wouldn't give them a dime ...

[einride]

vittra it might surprise you to learn that wives are autonomous beings with a will of their own and a right to purchase whatever garbage home electronics they want, even if it does not please their husband

 

[Vittra]

I don't think the word autonomous applies when you are using someone else's money to buy garbage

sweetheart ... i said Wife is getting an IPad ... not that I am buying it for her.
her folks are getting it for her as a graduation gift.

 

[Vittra]

[lurch70]

too late ... she already sent me an email from it.

can you print from it? wirelessly?

 

[NAD]

I have no idea if it can print anything. Probably, but I've never tried. Knowing most Apple things it will either take 2 seconds to figure out, or more than 5 hours of frustration before realizing that it isn't actually possible.

 

[lurch70]

hahah, thanks ... this will be awesome the first time we try to figure it out.

Mine says DON'T PANIC on the front wallpaper because Douglas Adams was right. I'm not sure if that makes me a dork or a hipster, I suppose it depends on what Starbucks I use it within.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Starbucks forever reigns supreme among coffee shops now because of it's awesome support of the 2nd Amendment while other buckled under the heal of protest.

I always pick up my iced-Americano from Starbucks on the way to the range .

(Not my gear, ACU pattern sucks. Sorry Army-dudes.)




Starbucks: not just for hipsters. Haha.

 

[einride]

printing is so 1993, who needs anything on paper ever

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Hipsters don't go to Starbucks.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Hipsters don't go to Starbucks.

Hipster is a stupid word now adays anyways, but Starbucks-attendance really depends on where you are and what other coffee shops are around I think.

 

[einride]

Hipsters don't go to Starbucks.

not even ironically?
