What is the point of deleting a user's account if they are allowed to come back with another name? It makes things worse because longtime posters won't be aware of the new alias they previously had ignored and new posters won't be able to read their posting history to get a sense of the their thread derailing habits. It's a clean slate that hurts everyone but the offender.

Moderators-
Well first of all my account was never deleted- I simply changed the spelling of my name which was incorrectly spelled originally. Thank you for continueing to let me express my opinions.

Can't you see the overwhelming negative sentiment about this recalcitrant?
Please throw him out.
Grow up. You sound like a 12 year old. If he bothers you that much put him on ignore and get over it. If you can't deal with people on the internet clearly you must have a very hard time in real life.
I find it hypocritical that a marketing guy that never really invented anything except DOS says "no biggie" to something he doesn't really know anything about.
Bill Gates knows innovation like Donald Trump knows how to mop his floor.
Actually he stands on his head and mops his kitchen floor every day.
You wanted another iPod touch then? It's the size it is for a reason, just as I said it would be around 10". If you want pocketable they have products for that. What's great about the iPad is the size of its screen. Just imagine a digital board game? Times are-a-changin' man.
Totally agree...new must have games and apps will be the catalyst for the ipad. The ability to download and play games from the comfort of one's living room will become a major selling point.

Sure, but did you imagine it to have such a wide frame?
But seriously... I'm not saying the iPad is a "bad" size, just that for me personally I'd prefer it was a little smaller. And as I said, I'd still get one if it offers features/applications I'd use.

Although I find you bloody annoying, I'm also not a great fan of censorship. It's a lose lose situation
(He isnt lying thru his teeth wearing a green eye shade, like some overly wealth spoiled brat who take pride in injecting African kids with mercury laden vaccines, so that if they don't die of AIDS, they will become sterile or autistic at the minimum!)
...Msft and the pc vendors went back to the drawing boards to play catch-up to the "meh" ipad. So now he pushes the netbooks as being superior..
Nod. iPad will /slay/ netbooks, nothing less, IMHO.

Slightly smaller (and much lighter!) but bigger than iPod Touch would be more convenient, at least for me.

Very well said.
I have the abuser on my ignore list, but he still seems to infect every thread in a negative way.
Nothing is ever constructive or positive, just vicious posts.

Oh, I am plenty grown up, thanks. For instance, I am able to tolerate your rants rather well. At least, you (occasionally) have something to say. Tek, otoh, is a stuck record, and it just gets tiresome after a while.
It is just that I think it affects AI and its quality, that's all. I could care less.
Totally agree...new must have games and apps will be the catalyst for the ipad. The ability to download and play games from the comfort of one's living room will become a major selling point.
uh...to whom? The people who own game consoles are already doing that and have better content to boot.
Right now the iPad is a giant iPod touch that has slightly beefed up hardware, with an e-book/iworks app and thats about it.
This discussion is round about, there is zero reason to really buy one unless you want an e-book reader or feel the need to stroke your e-peen by having the latest Apple tech. I was mostly sold on buying one but now im second guessing my decision simply because 500 bucks is quite a price for something where i still need an added keyboard and it cant outperform my 299 10v Hackintosh.
But one might want to check their implied premise, which is that a large iPod Touch would suck.
That's a good point. But to add to it you can't run iWork on an iPod touch. So I think to say it's a large iPod touch isn't wrong per se, but it is missing the point. This is like a computer for the average person with some fringe benefits. When you take the large touchscreen, the speed of the device and its price into consideration it turns out to be a great product. For me it would be a luxury item, but for my brother--for example--it could be his [only] computer.

You got the businessperson part wrong. He's a ruthless businessperson, is sheep's clothing.

quit hijacking threads with this. you are resorting to what you are 'concerned' about. thanks.
On the contrary, it is an eloquent and very timely post, and I welcome it.
It is about time someone took the vandal to task.

He was deleted, don't be fooled :-)
You do know Steve Jobs never developed, engineered, or designed anything right? Is he a hypocrite too for saying something isn't up to snuff?
At least Gates actually designed, engineered, developed, SOMETHING!
Well, Gates BOUGHT DOS from a small Seattle company.
Windows was a bi-product of the original Mac OS which still took them a while to get it right (Win 95).
Ok, Jobs never engineered anything but he sees what people want even before people even know they need it.

Hey TEKSTUD, just out of curiosity, quick question...
Do you really think the things that you say on Appleinsider...? Or do you just get a kick out of winding people up?
