It’s not that bad. You can just click one button and be sent straight to a server, or you can go to the server browser and choose a server. It doesn’t force you to use any of the social features.

Fair enough. I just had to listen to half a dozen coworkers blab on and on about it.

I was also happy about Osama bin Laden getting killed, because that pretty much wiped out all excess coverage of the wedding.

Hey, at least you weren’t forced to listen to a broadcast of it while at work. One of my coworkers just HAD to watch it.

Comment on Why I’m Buying an iPad by Gator

Blah – I’m pretty sure I made that argument (in a more concise form) months ago.

I still don’t get how people saw it marketed as a laptop replacement. Jobs spent an entire part of his keynote explaining what kind of device would potentially sit between a laptop, and a smartphone. He said that netbook was *not* the solution (simply that it was a smaller notebook – thus not the answer), not that the iPad was a netbook replacement.
