8 things that suck about the iPad - what is a bezel? -- (link) - Hotkiss Jan 27, 13:38 35
- I'm sure it will also suffer from the basic things that apple always does (and it's adherents never seem to mind). Putting aside the usefulness and - pmb Jan 27, 13:51 3
  - after a company reports a 40% profit margin its pretty safe to say you are getting ripped off - stewie Jan 27, 14:19
  - I know after trying to browse the iTunes store last night to spend $55 in gift cards, I'll never use it willingly again. - TWuG Jan 27, 14:02 1
    - My kids are dying for apple lap tops. They have laptops that work absolutely fine. Do everything they need at half the cost. They think the macs - pmb Jan 27, 14:05
- The bezel is the first thing I remarked upon. Seriously, WTF? What happened to Apple's design boys on that one? -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 13:47 1
  - it looks to be about the same as an iMac. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 13:48
- Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar? -- nm - Snape Jan 27, 13:44 1
  - I believe it involves a gullet of some kind. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:48
- Shit. Duck, here comes David. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 13:42
- wow on no multitasking - stewie Jan 27, 13:40 21
  - This is the big issue that needs to be addressed by V2. -- nm - David Jan 27, 13:44 5
    - my fear is that it is a feature of the OS and would require a complete rewrite from the ground up - decline Jan 27, 13:48 4
      - i thought that current gen iphones could multitask. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 27, 14:04
      - Android seems to have them beat technically -- nm - stewie Jan 27, 13:53 1
        
        yes ... which is why I was looking forward to the Android-based Nook device. - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:54
      - jailbroken iphones can multitask. I could see how making it *elegant* would be a challenge, though :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:50
  - yeah, that is the one thing that really bothers me. I mean, it cannot even play mp3s while you read a book. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 27, 13:42 7
    - this is wrong. the iPod feature on my iPhone can work in the background. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:49 1
      - Yep - though I expect music has to be loaded onto the iPad, not streamed through, say, Pandora -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 13:51
    - I doubt that's what it means. The iPhone can do that -- nm - Guigue Jan 27, 13:49
    - seems like it would drive people away from their apps and towards things available online (google docs)... assuming the browser has tabs - stewie Jan 27, 13:45 2
      - if they use the same browser as on the iTouch, it does not have tabs - decline Jan 27, 13:49 1
        
        my iPhone can have up to 8 pages open at once. Also, in the presentation, they said that all apps had been rewritten. - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:51
    - That is one of the things that will get a ton of complaints -- nm - scorpion Jan 27, 13:45
  - i would actually love this. i get distracted way too easily if i can have the internet or other things up in the background when i'm writing -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:42 6
    - To be fair, you won't be doing too much writing with its onscreen keyboard. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 13:50 2
      - No, no, it's perfect for me! It'll slow down my writing, make me really think about it! -- nm - picksee Jan 27, 13:55 1
        
        picksee is *brainwashed.* nm - Dignan Jan 27, 13:59
    - it's not a bug, it's a feature! -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 13:43 2
      - for me it would be - tik tok Jan 27, 13:45 1
        
        for me, it's a bug. I can't SSH into a server and make code changes and test them in a web browser. - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:56
- The frame around the screen. -- nm - TWuG Jan 27, 13:39
- the bezel is the black part that isn't the display part. aka, the plastic part on monitors. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:39 2
  - It doesnt look that big to me. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 27, 13:47 1
    - Hi there -- nm - Greg Oden Jan 27, 13:47

He named his kid Axel F? -- nm - Inigo Jan 27, 13:35 1
- I'm sure he'll teach the kid the banana trick -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:35
man ... the iPad really took the wind out of Barnes & Noble's stock -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:33 12
- actually I think it was more the news of the CEO leaving coupled with the NY AG investication that is causing the downward slide -- nm - decline Jan 27, 13:40 3
  - oh, that's what caused them to hit -10% at the same time Apple announced the iPad price point? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:49 2
    - ah, just found a rumor that the iPad storefront was going to be B&N - this caused the stock to jump 13%. It being false wiped out that gain. -- nm - decline Jan 27, 13:52 1
      - ah, nice -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:52
- the reviews on the nook were already terrible -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:34 7
  - that and it's going to make Barnes and Noble stores less necessary -- nm - stewie Jan 27, 13:35 6
    - (I can't believe they chose such a stupid name though) -- nm - stewie Jan 27, 13:36 5
      - I assume you mean iPad. Of the three main players, I think I like the name of the Nook the most. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:37 2
        
        I'd probably agree but I like none of them - stewie Jan 27, 13:38
        
        (Kindling is something you use to start a fire. And real books are great for that. Kindle? Not so much.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:38
      - aka the schnook -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:37 1
        
        i was talking about iPad... but yeah, nook sucks too -- nm - stewie Jan 27, 13:37
I've started watching Star Trek: Enterprise off the SyFy channel each day. I like it so much, I feel guilty for not watching it when it was broadcast - crash davis Jan 27, 13:33 6
- Same guilt millions of Browncoats feel every day. -- nm - budice Jan 27, 13:35 5
  - Nah. The Browncoats watched religiously. There just aren't enough to support a series. - TWuG Jan 27, 13:38 2
    - x is here, so you can't win the ultimate curmudgeon title -- nm - crash davis Jan 27, 13:39 1
      - don't even try -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:40
  - yep - that is another one I feel guilty about as well -- nm - crash davis Jan 27, 13:36
  - It's a suitable replacement for "healthy catholic guilt" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:36
Yankees have a new outfielder! And he's a beast. -- (link) - TFox Jan 27, 13:31 29
- aw. bye, randy! -- nm - b. Jan 27, 14:13
- Ugh. -- nm - Krusty Jan 27, 14:09
- cause he's a "Winn"er -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:41
- [deleted] 25
  - Did you forget that they added Vazquez? - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 13:55 2
    - No one in NY should buy that yet...given he imploded his last go-round there. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:56 1
      - [deleted]
  - I'm sure there's a tear in hear somewhere I can shed. -- nm - nubby Jan 27, 13:49
  - He's only 1 year away from being an above average player. At only 2M, this is a low risk deal for the Yanks. - musubi Jan 27, 13:46 12
    - [deleted] 8
      - Damn spoiled Yankee fans, you want an all-star at *every* position? - musubi Jan 27, 13:54 6
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        He had an OPS over .900 in September and October! SPOILED! (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 14:17 2

        I love mediocrity so much I'd like to take it behind the high school and get it pregnant. (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 14:20
        
        Well, Granderson at least...Swisher's a dude you can find replacements for - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:55 1
        
        ?? He might not be a MVP or anything, but he's well above average. - musubi Jan 27, 14:23
      - I like Granderson more than you do, but I still agree that your team sucks. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 13:49
    - He had magnificent multi-home-run pop last season. - TFox Jan 27, 13:48 2
      - Like I said, he's 1 year away from being decent. - musubi Jan 27, 13:51 1
        
        I agree it's low risk. I'm just enjoying giggling at their outfield. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 13:51
  - You almost wish you had Melky Cabrera back. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 13:42 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - Boston's infield is solid. Youk/Pedroia/Scutaro/Beltre is better than 95% of baseball. (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 13:52 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Make the shivs better (or at least more accurate), dammit. - musubi Jan 27, 14:13
      - Easily better than last year. Easily. I am happy with going to war with my squad. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 13:50 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Yep, that's what worries me about the Red Sox. The caliber of the pitching. All our pitching blows. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 13:52
is Dustoff the best or the worst way to get dust off camera mirror? -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 27, 13:28 5
- so those Blackberry cleaner things they were selling at TIFF -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 27, 13:55
- *never* use compressed air on camera internals. - Reagen Jan 27, 13:34 1
  - but it's called Dustoff. so it gets the dust off! -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:35
- i would use lens wipes. (like for glasses - no lint) -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 13:30
- stupid roll -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 27, 13:29
