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

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
