whatever floats your boat

it's cool.... don't worry about it man...

erm.... i'd be pretty impressed at their insect like syncronicity if it wasn't....

oh hold on is it you that types that same comment under nearly every video on youtube???

you rascal!!! i've always wanted to meet you!!!

i dont care who they work for... i am just a massive fan of people doing totally shit stunts, that were definately better in their head than in reality... in fact i have a hard on for it.....

my fave bit was when the camera panned round and nobody was even the slightest bit interested... that was the money shot for me...

good for them my ass...

i dont think there is a country in the world that can "whoooooooooooo-ooooooo" for really no reason like you guys do

kind of makes me feel proud to be british....

so... based on that "logic".... when apple 'ripped off the lg prada' it only took them a matter of months to create the iphone...?

good work holmes... you'll make detective yet....

i think its more amazing how many people comment without reading the patent...

it states that the illustration is by no means anything like how the invention may look, its merely reference...

why would apple shoot their load like that?


and furthermore, everybody commenting on asking what they are trying to patent? or that they are re-inventing the stylus...

please... read the damned thing instead of reactionary comments, based on a glance of info...

WHY do YOU want me to "wake up"?????

what's your problem with what someone likes?

i read the patent
its covering one tiny aspect of the device, and having read it start to finish, it only seems to be stating that the patent is for this existing function (even listing others already available), but one that works with more accuracy and less glitches... which...is their modus operandi....


what do yo know about what i do, and what i use, and what i know is available?

i can't find anything on that link that ticks all the boxes of what i quite happily anticipate...

no smoke... i waited years on the phone deliberately dodged the first gen model, and am now on my second iphone (free upgrade)
and i know it is the finest device i have ever owned, and everybody i know that owns one feels the same... are we just lying to ourselves????

i, on a daily basis use several programmes that integrate seamlessly together, never have any issues with any of it, and live a very quick moving and creatively rewarding life... this is all carried out through some of the most beautiful looking hardware on the planet... i am the one benefiting there surely? my latest imac looks stunning even siting there powered down as a very high quality piece of engineering and design.... it is no smokescreen... its called a happy preference........ you tit


go on.... say i sit in starbucks with a macbook.....
you must be dying to by now...

or how about defining an " apple fanboy" without sounding like a 14 year old....

all i propagate is preference, knowing good quality and what works best for me (and that you are a tit)

i can't believe the lack of imagination from most people about this device....

anyone thinking it's going to be a mere ereader/giant iphone just isn't thinking about where we are, where we've been and where we are going...

a stylus (which only apple haters will claim "apple invented" like they do everything else, when all they ever do is REFINE... successfully) would be a welcome option for certain applications not a navigation device... think art/photoshop/illustrator etc etc etc
i know many designers and artists, myself included can see the benefit of that, and it being done correctly and effectively and lets face it... it will...
other than that... even merely running garageband or imovie on a tablet and using your fingers to stretch and position and edit and cut files etc would be many times faster than normal input devices such as keyboards and mice... i cant wait to be able to use it for things like that... this announcement kind of reaffirms to me that the device is going to be more capable than expected...

for goodness sake as all gadget lovers, how many of you haven't got a hard on for the minority report vision?
i'm dying to get a tablet, just like i waited about 5 years anticipating the phone...

thinking this is going to be a turkey just shows you haven't been paying attention...

the courier doesnt exist yet... and what of microsoft surface?

bottom line i have no need for a stylus on my iphone, that would be a pain in the arse and completely unnessisary,
if i had the tablet and it could run decent apps you are damned right i would want one...

jobs was discussing the iphone when dissing the styus... they have also just launched a mouse as well... or were you too busy flaming the thread about him "inventing the mouse" to realise that they have several products on the go with different functions?

trepidation pisses me off here... i'm just looking forward to the next cool thing that inspires other cool things that inspire and facilitate other cool things, and i want the best of them.. dont give a f*ck who makes them.. just so happens apple get it right for me each time....

its all about patience and that is something every other 'competing' company lacks.... i'd lov to see microsoft crap out the courier before the apple tablet is released when they have no idea of its capabilites... but i am pretty sure they wont... they dont bother with surprises they will do what they always d and thats work hard but in a clustered way towards they're answer to what the markets want... and more recently, markets that apple create.... i dont care about market share statistics... for one reason, there are billions of shops and offices and workplaces in the world all using pcs as basic taskmasters... probably far more than the domestic sector... thats where the market share is... why in hell would say a shop, or an helpline company or any work place spend a premium on millions of high end, macs? stands to reason...

i could go on... but i cant be bothered... i just get a wee bit confused about why certain people here even bother to read the articles posted here, let alone comment on them....

I have to say, havn't only read the first and last pages of comments,
I am impressed, with one or two exceptions this has felt sensible and mature, went into the comments with my usual engadget feeling of dread, but thought, "aww bless! Look at you all state your preferences without being a bunch of morons"
engadget were right to post the article but def do come off the worst on terms of the whole baiting issue...
Is it too early to think we've turned some sort of corner here? I hope so, I vastly prefer one os over the other, I am always interested in counter debate, keeps one from being an ignorant tool, this is the first time I've seen it here, cheers chaps.

f*ck off you absolutely boring predictable child....

everyday i get closer to not reading engadget because of this tiresome, and pointless crap...

all it does is remind me how many teenage virgins are reading this with me...

aren't we all here because we celebrate technology?

if you must pick a "side" pick one.. why bother fighting the other? who gives a flying f*ck what you think???
what difference do you make?
