Animosity? The author, instead of just not buying what he doesn’t want, goes to the trouble of writing and publishing the fact in a bigoted manner, and the resultant animosity is surprising? People ARE using iPads as work tools, and you make snide comments that they’re not, and the resultant animosity is surprising?
I didn't say it was surprising, I said it didn't appear warranted. I have seen too much of it to be surprised by it any more.
The man is a writer. Writing articles is what he does for a living, and his employer published the article. I'll grant you some people are using iPads as work tools, but that does not change my observation that for most people it will not replace a laptop as their primary work tool.
You seem upset that anyone would find any reason not to want to buy an iPad, and to say so publicly.
