No Steve Jobs, You Did Not Re-Invent the World by Making a Fat iPod

http://gizmodo.com/5458382/8-things-that-suck-about-the-ipad

And here are 8 very good reasons why.

How can he even have the nerve to say that he's made a grand "invention"? All he did was take an iPod and make it bigger. That's it. This thing that's supposed to compete with netbooks, which for anyone who doesn't know are very small laptops, and it doesn't even have a browser that can use flash. So if you don't really understand the importance of that let me put it to you this way.. NO. YOUTUBE. There also wouldn't be a lot, if any, online games since most of those use flash. No effects on websites, especially effects you see used in sites hosted on www.freewebs.com (which is a very good way to have your own website if you've ever wanted your own). Some pictures wouldn't show up either. Oh and imagine this.. Imagine if you had a computer. It was sleek and stylish (which is what the iPad claims it is but I'm not really seeing it), decently fast but nothing to write home about, it cost you a hell of a lot of money.. And you couldn't download anything that doesn't come from an Apple brand store. That's right. The ONLY things you can put on your iPad (easily) are things that come from iTunes, the App Store, or the iBook store. Of course I'm sure there are some hackers who are going to figure out how to jail break the thing, but for an average every day user that's a huge hassle.

Really Steve? Really now? THIS is your innovation for the world? You took something we already had and made it bigger than it originally was? Well let me tell you something, it didn't work for the Kindle and it's certainly not going to work for the iPad. The only thing you've accomplished is selling some other stupid thing to apple fanboys and showing what an idiot you are. Obviously you're losing your touch.

Stay Frosty.
