This thread is for pointing and jeering. Great cover there guys, really. Genius.

Come on little bunbun, open up those peepers for the nice man...

If anything, they undersold it. Also, Scott Forstall is really scary. "Buy an iPad or I'll eat your face! It looks delicious."

Solicitor name fail.

I think the Canadian winter has gotten to Beefy.

The Don is correct.

Printed up lots of shipping labels!

Apple has competing imperatives here. They make their money selling devices, so they're usually in the biz of driving content prices down, as that makes the devices more attractive. With the iPad, though, the first order of business is to get as much content onto it as possible, hence you see them actually helping the providers fatten their margins here. As soon as the platform is fully established, that worm will turn.

Agreed. I expect we will see this price point erode very quickly.

Nah, he was just cross-eyed at the time. Oops.

I'm just at a loss as to why this apparently grinds your gears so much, Beefy? No one around these parts has made any extravagant claims for Amarra other than that it definitely does something to the sound that some of us like and some of us don't. Dreadhead couldn't stand it at CanJam, as I recall, but he could certainly hear the effect. To me it's just a straight preference issue, rather than some stereotypical audio horseshit like claiming to be able to detect the sonic differences between two types of sheathing over the same IC cable.

Something something suck him dry something something.
