iMad!
Help me understand this: My ipad doesnt work with my
laptop that has Mac OS 10.4.x, but it does on Tapi's
Windows machine!
Why is Apple being nicer to competition than it is to loyal fans?
iPad requires me to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6.x), which I have been resisting for a while now, even though I've heard great things about it. I find having to kill the tiger for the snow leopard very unsettling. I guess they are both endangered animals, but should I really kill one to embrace the other?
It is one of those a'gnaw'ying "what do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant" scenarios that I would much rather not deal with.
What is Apple doing naming its operating systems after endangered animals anyway? It is so traumatic being pricked with these reminders of our cold-blooded attitude towards nature every time they come up with some alluring new product that you can't resist... Do we really need to be pricked? Let me say it again... Do we, the more stereotypically morally-conscious (at least superficially), influen"sentient" fans, really need to be pricked?
Thankfully, I haven't yet felt the need to connect the ipad to a computer. I can check emails, read books, listen to music, watch movies, download apps, and do everything that an ipad will possibly let me do. The only thing I can't do is move my media from my comp to the ipad, which doesn't bother me (yet).
So I guess I will just postpone resolving this moral dilemma!
ps: By the way, the ipad is so awesome! I don't think I've been this enamored with any device in my life before. I highly recommend it, with or without the snow leopard! ... Of course, you can do the "smart thing" and wait till the prices drop and all the kinks are worked out! Bleh! ;)
