grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I stroke mine every day. And my lady likes to stroke it too. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I was also partly afraid that my wife would've liked to stroke it even more than me. Doubt the battery life would've lasted that long though. Link to post Share on other sites

Schneebored 0 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Originally Posted By: grungy-gonads Tell you what I am really impressed with battery life. It lasts ages. Easy 10 hours I'd say. That is most definitely a big improvement on most computers. Any idea how long when playing a HD movie?....assuming that a movie is a high intencity task and it uses more power.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Slightly annoying things: - it won't recharge via usb even on my powerful desktop or notebook. Well, it says Not Charging but it does.... very slowly. - syncing takes ages. I might be doing it wrong though but when I connect and sync it does some "Backup" (?) and takes a long time. Still love it though and my fave gadget ever. (Still waiting for the jetpac). Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 It’s not exactly official, but should also surprise no one: According to a new study the psychological profile of iPad owners can be summed up as “selfish elites†while have-not critics are “independent geeks.†Of course the “haves†would probably call the “have nots†“cheap wannabes†to which the “have nots†would retort: “FANBOI!!†Which is why we should stick to the science. Consumer research firm MyType conducted the study, in which opinions of 20,000 people were analyzed between March and May. The firm’s conclusion was that iPad owners tend to be wealthy, sophisticated, highly educated and disproportionately interested in business and finance, while they scored terribly in the areas of altruism and kindness. In other words, “selfish elites.†They are six times more likely to be “wealthy, well-educated, power-hungry, over-achieving, sophisticated, unkind and non-altruistic 30-50 year olds,†MyType’s Tim Koelkebeck told Wired.com. 96 percent those most likely to criticize the iPad, on the other hand, don’t even own one, although as geeks, they were slightly more likely to do so than the average population — and far more likely to have an opinion about the device one way or the other (updated). This group tends to be “self-directed young people who look down on conformity and are interested in videogames, computers, electronics, science and the internet,†said Koelkebeck.
