But since they are Apple related, it still holds true that more Apple mentioned and comments=more hits and comments. And your own comment only served to help that fact.

Just give up. Honestly, trying to hold back the Apple news and comments is like trying to hold back the tides.Just take a deep breath and read this:

God, grant me the power to change the things I can,
The serenity to accept the things I can't,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Hell's bells, the iPad cloning has already begun. All the companies that claimed tablets and slates are a waste of time and no consumers will buy them are already starting to pump them out like OctoMom. A tablet running a full version of Windows 7 using an Atom processor is going to be another steaming pile of failure. Three hours of battery time is pathetic. Watch a movie and read 20 pages of a book and your PCSlate will be deader than Julius Caesar. I'm sure all the Windows lugnuts are going to try to load a full version of Microsoft Office and have it run like a slug when the anti-virus software kicks in. This slate is not a rip-off of the iPad. It's not worthy enough to be called that. Non-tech consumers will hate it.]]>Jan 31st 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/8-9-inch-exopc-slate-has-ipad-looks-netbook-internals-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/8-9-inch-exopc-slate-has-ipad-looks-netbook-internals-windows/You cracked my shit up!]]>Jan 31st 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/8-9-inch-exopc-slate-has-ipad-looks-netbook-internals-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/8-9-inch-exopc-slate-has-ipad-looks-netbook-internals-windows/Jan 31st 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/8-9-inch-exopc-slate-has-ipad-looks-netbook-internals-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/8-9-inch-exopc-slate-has-ipad-looks-netbook-internals-windows/

The first comment is about the iPad looks comparison and has 48 replies. I suspect that if they didn't reference the iPad in the the post you'd see a lot less people commenting here.

But that keyboard is just as lousy as the P*d's. I wish someone would just modify the old Samsung UMPC half-round keyboard.

Better is very subjective. It all depends on what you want to do with it.
