bad choice.

Apple retail workers who start at $22/hour and already have a ton of benefits sure do need a union. They’re being treated so badly! Shame on your Apple for paying retail workers well above minimum wage and providing all those other benefits that most other retail jobs don’t. I go to the Apple store frequently and from what I can see, most of them get paid just to stand around and chat with each other.

I'm going to assume this post is from a bot that never tried to live on a minimum wage. Minimum wage is not a living wage, or even anywhere close to it. The lack of empathy for people who actually have to work for a living (even if, when the Store's not busy, they dare to speak to one another) bespeaks a robotic lack of concern for actual human beings.

AppleInsider should screen the comments for bot products.

that product, the one element that launched widespread interest in tablets was an excellent price. There were tablets before the iPad but none that delivered a decent, useful product at the right price point. 

Simply put, $3,000 is not the right price point for any personal media consumption device. This thing is dead on arrival.
