maclife.com— While randomly checking off answers, we noticed something odd. Borders wants to know if we plan on purchasing an "Apple IPAD (Large Screen Reading Device)" this year.

No. I'm not waiting for them to show the light for others to follow. Apple didn't invent the netbook. Apple didn't invent the MP3 player. Apple didn't invent the smart phone. Apple didn't invent the tampon and Apple sure as hell won't be inventing the tablet. I just like innovation in the tech industry, period. I don't give a s**t what guise it happens under. I just want advancement. If Apple is the catalyst, fine. If Microsoft is the catalyst, fine. Et cetera. What I don't want is over priced, over hyped pretty standard hardware. The same goes for Sony's newer PCs. It's not a "Mac hate" or "PCs are better" issue. I don't give a s**t that Apple came out with their own MP3 player AFTER "they were shown the light to follow." Or that my sister in law's Macs have a habit of having catastrophic hardware failures.

I don't think they want it to be a mac.

Sweet. I've owned ipad.com for 15 years now. The money should be rolling in any day now...

I'm sure they will. I mean, I don't think it's humanly possible to get worse than iPAD.

But maybe it won't be a Mac
