It pissed me off the first time I turned it on, it continues to really push my buttons as I continued using it and it has never once elicited a positive response from my part.
I basically just use it to check my e-mails quickly, without having to turn on my pc.

Everything just bugs the hell out of me. The outrageous price, the fact that almost all apps are payed (even though it is already expensive on its own), how difficult it is to transfer files from my pc, and the list goes on. Even the fact that it doesn't have a manual instruction when I don't know how to work with it pisses me off.

Can someone tell me why would someone bother to buy one of these? Why are people going bananas about apple, when I can't find a redeeming feature about it?

Android is so ahead of IOS. IOS looks like Windows 3.1.

I use my tablet for travel..well not real travel but going to a place with wifi and just want to browse online and so much better for me than my 12 pound laptop. I don't have a smartphone either. For most it's a hey another toy. Me it's just a entertainment device for on the go and some of the apps I found useful for me personally. MY mom when Iget hers (the one I bought the company ripped me off never delieverd and took the money) but she wants to use it for her scriptures at church. Take it to cali in december instead of the laptop(well it was the plan). A tablet has it's uses but it's limited and not a everyday thing..unless your job requires it like it does for my brothers.Thing Apple is pure trend and no substance. People buy Apple overrpiced under speced junk for a logo or they were told to.

You were at that? I caught Mariah Carey singing at the end and all I could see in the crowd was LED screens. :P

I just realized, if God is Eternity, and the temporal universe is embedded in Eternity, God is like a perfect mirror that shows the truth of everything, past, all present moments, and future. Hence, death is like taking a look into that mirror, at long last. And hell is when you react with horror at the full course of your life, seen all at once, along with all the consequences of your actions, all at once. The mirror is the judgment of God.
