@Fosco Especially when last year he touted the whole app store was availabe to the iPad. So it all of a sudden doesn't apply anymore when someone else says it?
Not to mention that Honeycomb is a whopping 5 days old
"It automatically wakes the iPad when you open it, and puts it to sleep when it closes it. Now how is this held on? Do we have screws? No -- we use magnets."
I was thinking "how has youporn managed to come up twice in three days?", and then realized they were both the same person. I suspect an endorsement deal of some kind
@KlausByskovHoffmann yeah, that's what they want you to use it for. I would use the iPad more for that sort of thing if I had one (buying one around Christmas)
It's easier to take with you in bed than a laptop, and guests like to play around with it. But the laptop is sooooo superior (especially when comparing prices) in most senses.
I hate writing on the iPad... it's almost easier to write on the iPhone
@oKtosiTe True, but that's part of the design. You wouldn't add that in, you'd remove it when not needed. It would be in the design from day 1 unless you have a retarted engineer working on it...
> 11:00AM "This can record up to 8 tracks. Let's put that in perspective -- back when the Beatles did Sgt. Peppers, you could only do four tracks, and the machine was the size of a washing machine."
I know. And that's why they are so successful. But it's also a dangerous place to be because any faltering or better product can seriously set them back...
@PopularDemand yes, but what are the critera exactly? Should it be only spam messages or just poorly written messages? The "flag for attention" link just "does something" and does not let me choose reasons like normal flagging
@KlausByskovHoffmann I and my wife have a plan for around the end of the year, we're gonna save about 7-8k and go buy a couple new MBPs and a couple iPads as Christmas gifts to each other. Between now and then we expect to both move up to iPhone5 (surely that will come in Juneish, yes?)
Or they could do like The Artist Formerly Known As Prince and call it the iPhone♦
@KlausByskovHoffmann yes. Why does everyone seem surprised when I say that. We don't have one iPhone between the two of us. We don't only have one MBP/laptop.
It's great for reading... not for commenting (a lot at least). Angry birds is just as good (or bad) on the iPhone really. For facebook, sure. I understand your point about it being a personal device and all... I'm just saying because I somehow regret that I bought mine (given that I also have an iPhone and an MBP)
@drachenstern So I guess that my advice (if you are asking for that) is buy one for your wife and if she/you is happy with it go buy the other one a month later. So worst case you live a month with only one iPad, and best case you save the price of one iPad.
@RebeccaChernoff I need to know about some of those issues you opened on github, i'm ready to close several more but I want verification that I've fixed them first. Mind taking a look? Also, one more question:
@RebeccaChernoff It appears to me that SE used my CSS for the mobile site, does that mean I'm done? Is that just a "fork" that should be ignored?
@Moshe But what it does is keeps track of each user's status (Available, Busy or Away) and status message -- like AIM -- and it draws a colored box around the user gravatars in the top right to indicate status, and sets the status message as the title of the gravatar

With some improvements, that will be the officially supported method of changing for those that prefer not to use websites with dark background...

@TheRenamedException I .liked it too, from the little I saw of it.
Seems like it could hurt your eyes if used extensively.
