Instead it reads as if nobody likes poor President and

the lieing GOP is OK.

So let me understand as a nobody, how what goldberg ever says is NOT partisan to the MSM and DC Media.

You are a reporter if you truthfully report. Not because some paper or magazine editor says you are or because you can cut and paste a  press release.

Goldbergs one sided not researched screeds are not journalism or reporting. They are opinion as gospel — a dangerous mix.

Teaching people to use software you wrote is very different then growing up with the software as second nature. These tech folks do not have much respect for those that came before them , now maybe i just followed the idiots and there is real conversation going on in buzz but at this point it does not matter, its not a useful tool for me.

So when i kept getting chewed on just because i said the Ipad is not a device for the technology set, i was called many things including stupid. Its still going on but i dont see it as i switched off buzz completely.

Not one of the points in the article hit on what this device is or who the target market is.
How can you give advice without this information.???

I dont think any of that market has seen or used the ipad , the gripes are all from techies who would not need to have a simplified input device to access media and data.

The people i had to write -are you sure this is your choice- prompts for on ASCII input screens in the 80s ARE FAR FROM the small circle of command line zealots crowing about not open , nonmulti process flashlessness.

How many of the millions of Iphone owners are computer programmers and artists – i think a very small percent so Apples money is not going to come from them anyway.

Maybe they are mad Apple did not come out with the haptic magic laptop they hoped the Ipad would be. But the Ipad is not for them and their advice is not of any use.

These Media Artists ALSO seem to think Processing is an easy to use program. Well they may be right if you are part of the 2 to 5 percent of the population that has great math skills and art abilities.

Are these the only people that would want to browse Internet media?

Do these artists have an idea of customer service to the general public?

Even with THE NEW Windows 7 GUI the story is its at least as good as Mac OSX not that any ones grandma can use it.

This Ipad thingy, save for a cam is exactly what i thought Apple would give us and it as an Input device will give me more of my PC or Macs desktop for VNC use.

EDIT – update 2-23-2010

Just a note about the camera missing – ever wonder why the touch has no  -Built in cam- either  well its not because apple did not not want to put one in – its because ATT did not want to chance a user change to free video chat software. SMS makes to much money for them.
