Annie, Unfortunately, the world is full of individuals who are full of hatred. I understand an individual's capacity to hate, but not towards those that have done nothing to them. Unfortunately, it is just the way the world works. The world is also full of people who are kind, honest, and contribute to mankind. There is a saying that goes something like this, “If you think the world will treat you fairly because you’re a nice person, then you probably think a bull won’t charge you because you are a vegetarian.” Actually it is from a book called Never Surrender. Accept the fact that there are individuals in this world that are evil, full of hatred, are perverts, etc. Conversely, the world is also full of people that have integrity, are honest, and bring civility to this world. Stick to those that are decent human beings IMHO. You are the latter and please stay that way:) Kurt PS - I am in no way suggesting anyone on this thread is evil or a pervert.

>>>> in case you're slow on math. >> Was that really needed to make your point? Did you immediately realize that 60% more than $499 was $798? Think about those numbers. Thats an astonishing difference. Apple is making crazy stupid decisions, and that math should cast it in stark relief. That was Cogito's example, not mine. And he was comparing a new, unreleased OS (Win RT) to Google Android. Apple is the Johnny come lately in the 7" space... Google has a polished, solid product. Have you used a Nexus 7 or a MiniPad? Apple's entry parlay is practically humorous. Apple will drop the price... quickly. This is certain. Darth Vader out... ;)
