Can't These Other Computer Manufacturers Step Up?

Tablets are the future of the computer world.

If you like Angry Birds instead of Dragon Age and Battlefield sure. Otherwise it's a pretty friggin niche market. Find someone who will blow more cash than a phone costs yet slightly (SLIGHTLY) less than a computer on a piece of equipment that's more "neat" than useful.

Things apple does better than other companies;

hype

high prices

crippled software

and again.......hype

the ipad isn't technically superior to it's competitors, simply more expensive and alot more hyped.

Mostly true. Just like the Ipod. I've always found that Creative MP3 devices are far superior to Ipods. Ipods handcuff you to their format where Creative could handle just about anything. They just didn't have the money to put out flashy commercials or anything so they weren't that big. Other companies like Archos and whatnot still put out better devices than Apple.

Look back at the last decade. Here is the business plan of most consumer tech...

Wait to see what apple does. Rip it off, only less intuitive.

Apple is not for you computer nerds who want to tinker with everything. It's for the 90% of us adults who just want something easy and functional.

Apple sucks IMO. The Mac platform blows for my basic needs (may be great for others, but not for me) and I neither own nor need a smartphone, mp3 player, or tablet. If I ever did decide to buy a smartphone, tablet, or mp3 player I'd buy something else just because that company strikes me as arrogant, pretentious, and WAYYYYYY over-hyped.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
