TwiddleBot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/12/hayao-miyazaki-ipad-use-d_n_643304.html "For me' date=' there is no feeling of admiration or no excitement whatsoever," Miyazaki reportedly said about the iPad, which he dubbed a "game machine-type thing" that people use by "stroking with strange gestures". "It's disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying."[/quote'] So the real question is, which is better, an Ipad or masturbation?

Root5 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm uncomfortable seeing something as great as masturbation being compared with a shitty product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? You'd let someone else make up your mind for you? Well Miyazaki hates iPads and Lynch hates films being watched on iPhones, so what should I do? Not listen to geniuses!?! I don't really care but I also don't desire to have an iPad... that is really where this opinion stems from... and no, I make up my own mind damnit!

vertsk8er419 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 think of all the people masturbating to internet porn on their iPad's right now. or those who actually attempt to acquire some sort of twisted sexual gratification with it's ultra-sensitive touch screen...

QBLA Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 i think being broke has humbled me... it has swayed me from apple. it hasn't turned me into an apple hater... now that i've bought 2 pc laptops (at a cheaper price than buying one macbook) and see that i basically do the same thing on my new laptop, i don't desire to buy apple products anymore. an ipod classic will probably, nae actually it will be the last apple product i'll buy ever. thank you apple. you've been good to me but i'm moving on.

A) I'm not picking on Atop. He and I have had issues occasionally*, but he knows that I have lots of respect for him, so he knows that I was asking him seriously. B) I wasn't joking. C) Apple's market share in the personal computing world is still less than 10%, even in the States. In places like Korea, they're lucky to crack 1%. D) Maybe some of those people who do buy Apple products don't spend their money senselessly and feel they are maximising their utility? E) I'm very happy that you don't give your money to any corporation when it comes to personal computing devices. F) This is not a multiple choice question. G) Hamsters. H) Gorillaz. I) Guerillas J) Jah Wohl! *Mostly over his unabashed love for all things dubstep! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atop Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I choose I) Guerillas! or perhaps Guerilla Gorillas....? That would be nuts! and *definitely not all things dubstep.
