      So confusing how Charlie can rep the Ipad so hard, yet you still can't watch the show without forking up the cash for Hulu. This is ridiculous.

      I have to admit a bias against the Apple/Mac business model. I have been an engineer/technician for a long time, and when something of mine breaks, I like to fix it myself. They have never allowed that option. If it breaks, you have to take it to them. You can't even buy spare parts.

      also, all these years later, I am still bitter about their actions involving the IIE. We had several, and they gave them to all the schools. Then when everyone is relying on them, they discontinue support, come up with a new operating system, and make it so that any software we owned was not compatible with the new system.

      I will never trust them, nor invest any money in their products again.

      Yeah, I think the cover is neat at least until it wears out or gets lost, but I still think you can't rely on cachet or even excellent engineering to come out on top. You have to be in the mainstream and allow 3d party's to mess around, which has been where Apple falls down even without their normal price premium. The app business helps but I'm not sure that's enough. I noticed BTW that The Washington Post changed their website over the weekend, apparently to make it work better on these smaller devices, altho personally I think it's a lot worse. The cloud is necessary to make the product (i.e., the desk- or laptop) into a service, which is from a business POV really what all these smaller devices are about. One day, like phones and ink-jet printers, they may give them away with a subscription or something similar. That's probably why Apple makes such a fuss about iTunes. As computer makers found out in the 80s and 90s, it isn't about the hardware. It will be like a "revenge of the mainframes" (that is if these server farms were really single machines).
