Apple's iPad 2 prompts Samsung to improve 'inadequate' parts of Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Page 6

Profanity, bashing is not only a lot of self pity, it communicates nothing. In fact it is just the bully way of trying to intimidate. You're not effectively selling anything.

You may call the iPAD a toy ... your choice of words. Many homes are full of wonderful toys that bring enjoyment and satisfaction. Your point is more that you wanted an iPAD that could replace your power hungry Notebook... enable you to do what you want on a powerful PC tower system... and you wanted all this for a very low price.

You would be well, to keep the nasty stuff away from your thought processes .. we certainly don't deserve your crap. You have made some intelligent remarks ... Keep doing that ... Stop the crap.

You have hit the nail on the head. I use Apple stuff, I have built (assemblied many PC towers), I have three printers (good ones, epson for photo stuff), plus a nice scanner. I have a nice Core2 duo with Vista that hasn't been used for almost a year. I didn't bother with Windows 7 ... I just got a mac-mini and use the monitor and keyboard. I don't get viruses. My printers are in trouble because of lack of use. I move data around on flash drives,and networking vs printing and now I am developing a private blog for our family because Facebook is so dangerous. So bye, bye paper. As soon as iPAD2 is available (just in a week or so) my dear wife will finally be able to do her thing, enjoy pictures of the grandkids, making jigsaw puzzles from them and having fun, learn how to use the internet (she says the PC and all that OS stuff is so confusing), she likes to read, watch a movie or two while camping (try that with your laptop that dies after 2 hours) and is back lit so it does not need outside lighting (sorry Kindle ... who reads in direct sun light anyway ... get out the sun burn lotion). So it is the EZ with to use the iPAD that is so intriguing ... also the security.

When Apple can get the publishing community (books, magazine, papers, etc) to join the party, then all the students( we are all students) can enjoy up to date book material, turn in their papers digitally ( forget printing all that stuff) and have all their valuable files saved on a cloud server... then the transformation will be as significant as when we finally got automobiles for transportation instead of reliable hay burners. Go iPAD, Go ... then for those that need so-called power get a MacBook Pro or Air ... the Air is a real winner also ... go for it.

Please just multi-quote, particularly when they're all about the same thing.

You have my deepest sympathies. There is no need for you apologise for anything. The poster with autism probably should, but probably wouldn't recognise the need to do so.

Ha ha -- this is not the first time someone has suggested this process is a regular process...

If what you are saying is correct, pls explain the following:

- Why is it that there is no other manufacturer using Unibody construction techniques for anything else. In any industry. Forget computers, even high end defense and aerospace equipment where strength to weight ratio is very important, use casting followed by precision finishing. Nowhere else do they start with a block of Aluminium and finish with the final product.

- Secondly, there is a clear video from Apple, showing the process used to make the Unibody iMac. The "hole" where the screen is, ends up as two unibody keyboards. Can you tell me any machining procedure that can cut out these holes - leaving behind big solid chunks of Aluminium to cut out the Keyboards from? Or do you think Jon Ive is lying through his teeth in that video?

- Thirdly, Aluminium can be recycled cheaper than it can be made - but still, if Apple converts blocks of Aluminium into 95% by weight of scrap in each round, then this process would be WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Every tonne of Aluminium will end up getting melted about 20 times! Or is it your case that Apple's costs/margins are high enough to absorb the expense of melting the Aluminium 20 times??

Get real - those links you posted are nothing but speculation - people are guessing Apple's processes as much as you and I are.

Would love to see your responses to my points - if you have any!

His judgement is obviously clouded by his hate for Apple or he's bot smart enough to realize that a process to make a process more efficient can be a rede secret. In fact, if we go back to early production of steel I-beams we can see this very thing (I forget the person who oneness it).

I wonder why he thinks Apple is able is able to mill the Mac Mini case and the top case for the MBA display and yet so few vendors are able to copy Apple's lead here except in a minimal way. I bet he doesn't think Google didn't invent their search algorithms simply because they didn't invent the first algorithm.
