iPad (Blunder of the 21st Century)

This thing is one of the most useless items Apple has to offer.  Even when I try my best to look past it's bulky size and shape into what it has to offer, it's still annoying to see that people actually spent money on this product for basically no reason. 

I know that I am outdating myself, and I'm sure a newer version will be coming out soon.  But let's go through what this product features before I start raving with just a little bit of rage that can take over the empire you made on a stragedy MMO.

1. You can purchase any kind up to 64 GB in storage space.
2. Downloading applications and programs are similar to an iPhone
3. There are stands available as an add on to this product.
4. It's pretty much a big iPhone but handles more like a computer from what some people say.

For the first time, I saw one in person, and what a miserable piece of crap it was, too.  The way he carried this thing around cradled in his arm was like watching a child carry some expensive pottery without a bag or basket to put it in.  I'm sure some other iPad owners have their own method of making this transportation friendly, but the size of the iPad is extremely awkward.

So this was one of the cases that I have found online look like but in a different custom color.  The thing with the size is that it is inbetween big enough, like a laptop, to put in a laptop carrying briefcase and small enough to fit in your pocket.  It's even bigger than a normal size book, which sucks since it's going to feel bulky carrying it around compared to that stupid Twilight novella Meyer wrote (which is also a complete waste of time).






Another thing that is annoying about the iPad is how it is EXACTLY LIKE A FREAKIN IPHONE TO ME.  I just can't understand why you would want to buy something that is like an iPhone but bigger.  At least the iPhone is hand held, and you can still make calls on it like a normal person.  But even if you want an iPad to carry around like a computer, wouldn't you just get...you know...a computer?  Even the MacBook is slim and small, and light enough to carry around with you, but at least it handles and functions like a computer along with a keyboard you can actually put your fingers on and type.

And look at this!  If the iPad was made to be able to have the option to install and attach a regular Mac computer keyboard, then there must be something wrong with the keyboard it gives you on the iPad.  I don't know about you, but I like to type with all my fingers resting comfortably on all the home keys and not have to use the tips of my index fingers to punch around on a touchscreen keyboard.  Then you know what happens.  Then you miss the key, and somehow touch the key next to it so that whole poem about monkeys I wrote has a line that goes:  "Today we rewos  alngne"

When that happens I get pissed and have to retype that all over again.  But then again that's just me, and I still text with the number buttons on my phone since it isn't a touch screen.  Although my phone can with stand almost any drop I put it through compared to a touchscreen phone that cracked when it was dropped a felt carpet.  True story, and it was hiliarious. 

I'm not one to know so much about computers, but I do know what I like, and I do NOT like Macs at all.  Now I am sure at one point I should consider at least learning how to use it more properly than the knowledge I have attained from my elementary school days when all we did was look up dirty websites in class while the media specialist explained about how to close out of a program by going up to the toolbar and choosing the option.  (And that's about as annoying as a cock fight in the middle of my kitchen while I'm trying to clean up the blood splattered on the fridge at the same time.  Plus I like my websites about dirt and all its super mineral contents on my computer screen; why do I want to exit the browser?)

And don't get me wrong; I will admit that the Macs do amazing things that PCs can't do.  For example using music programs on Macs, to me, go more smoothly than having to do it on a PC.  But if I'm in the language lab for my Spanish class trying to take a test on there with about twenty other people online, it freezes up on me every once in a while, and I get pissed since I can't redo my speaking parts over.  You only get one shot, you Mac-bastard-time-consuming-my-ass-sonofabitch!

But the iPod touch is an amazing idea, and I do like how the Mac computers don't need a tower anymore.  It's good on space and won't clutter a desk.  But I would rather have my special HP Pavilion than a MacBook Pro, because although this beast is bigger in size, at least it can take a beating whenever I try to smash my hands in its face for giving me Google images of iron mediciation tablets instead of Iron Man 2 screenshots.
