Don't buy your iPad in a McDonald's car park

An now for something obvious

I wish someone would pay me $180.00 to fondly my wood.

Acer Android tablets priced

512 KB RAM

hrm. seems a bit limited at 512KB

Apple prepping 32GB iPhone 3.0?

Hrm

The existing iPhone already uses an underclocked CPU. 620@412, I think. So I don't know how to take these specs. Memory increase is certainly welcome, though. Also, a build-in compass would help with navigation on foot.

Apple sued over i-Bricks

Customers own fault!

I'm not an Apple fan at all. Frankly their politics are stupid and the Mac has become nothing more than a PC with an alternative OS on it. Apple has never been good at anything than design and marketing.

Now, about bricking the iPhone. I think it's the customers own fault. Microsoft locked Linux out on the XBox with an update. Noone really complained. Also, try returning a DVD-ROM drive that's been modded to region free with a third party firmware hack downloaded from some questionable site on the internet. LG will laugh at you if you tell them your drive doesn't work because you altered the firmware.

Indeed, if you're dumb enough to buy an iPhone, you deserve what you get.
