Apple iCloud, iOS 5 Arrive to Usher in Post-PC/Mac Era

[citation][nom]mm0ety[/nom]Has anyone noticed how many iPads are selling? If you say that millions of people are stupid for buying iPads and that only u are the only smart one I would bet that your probably not any older than 19. Because that's how kids act they think they know everything and everyone else is dumb. The iPad is pretty freakin awesome. In fact I'm using it right now too leave this post.[/citation]
I sir,
trump your millions,
by three, read it, THREE orders of magnitude.
That sir, is the power of Billions.

Props to the caustic attitude towards Itunes, Marcus. It makes Tom's look like old Tom's again.

So basically PCs are doomed because they're no longer needed to update iPhones?

Get out of the Apple coma already, how do you think apps are made?

 

[billybobser]

Don't use iTunes.


Problem?

There are PLENTY of other places for 'cloud' storage. Some MUCH cheaper and MANY more features (see: dropbox).

The prices they wanna charge to spying and stealing data is ludicrous, I would rather a home server that I can log in. Much more secure, with many more features.

Gartner stats show 275 million PCs sold this year so far
15 million iPad sold this year so far
...
Do the math, the iPad is as much of a threat to the PC market as the MP3 player is

They're different markets!

It'd be like saying "2million more Hilux were sold than mini coopers"

You can't be serious in your post.
Are you a troll?

 

[silver565]

Never mind. My apologies. I misread your post 😛

Actually your post makes your sound like a giddy 13 year old boy that just got an ipad from his parents. either that or another insane apple fanboi

"i" should be removed from the alphabet before Apple sues everyone about the use of the letter "i".

I could care less about iCloud! BIG WHOOPDIE FREAKIN DOO!

I'll be using Ubuntu One, because it gives you the same exact free service, but it works with Android, iOS, Ubuntu (linux) and Windows.

I would check your grammar before you start telling people how stupid they are and how your iPad is superior. Too bad the iPad does not support grammar check.

Has anyone noticed how many cd's Justin Beiber is selling? If you say millions of people are stupid for buying his cd's than you are probably not older than 19. That makes about much sense as your comment. Android owners and Apple Inc. are the exact same. They want to have full control over there devices. Anyone that owns an Apple device is a sheep and likes being told what is good for them and have no control over their own device. Sheep get super excited for updates that have been on Android for years thinking Apple invented them. Enjoy your 3.5 inch screen with no 4G, adobe flash, or any control over your phone or tablets registry.

64GB flash drive ~$100. Surely it will last for more than a year (unless you're dumb to lose it).

When I read the title, I figured this was another Wolfgang piece.

Silly writers, they should stick to the fiction pages and not try to pass it off as "Tech".

And my screen is 10" since I was talking about the iPad not iPhone. Plus my phone is an android so I have both. finally I didn't compare iPad to any specific product just said it was a great device. And no my statement does not compare to your Justin bieber cd analogy. Buying an iPad is different than buying a kid cd you idiot.

Waiting for an untethered jailbreak first.

Request to Tom's:
Drop marketing/advertising from your headlines...and from your articles too if you can manage that...

Wow Apple is truly nuts to believe in a Post PC/Mac Era.
I wonder what the iMac user base would think about that?
Is Apple planning on just selling smart ? phones,tablets,portable media players and being a music,video service ?
Greatly insane and not insanely great.

 

[belardo]

The title isn't completely correct... but they are referring the requirements of a PC or Mac in order to use an I-Device to update and manage content.

Geez... Microsoft has the same plans with Metro replacing Windows... give it a few years.

Kinda hard to do a Post-Pc/Mac Era. We are going to be working on ... what? i dont see many companies giving their employes iPads for everyday work. Sounds simply retarded. After all, Pc sales keep growing (mayb not much but keep growing).

However i dont really give a (4 letter word that signifies going to the bathroom for an extended period of time due to natural necesity), after all, if PC dies, something better will have to be there to overtake it. If it is better (and i doubt that tables are "better" since they are just diffrent), i dont think ill dislike it too much.

Finally, Apple is now a beast, yes. But anyone remmber how it was in lets say... 2002? or 1999? For those of you who do, you will remmber that Apple was jsut a fruit... (and some weird company that did very weird computers). Its possible in 3 years google will be the big monster... hell it can even be Microsoft again (*lol*).

There will never be a Post-PC/Mac Era, because there are no such thing as PC/Macs. Macs are just Personal Computers. That's it, that's all they are. They're just shitty ones, built to cater to the lowest common denominator of intellect and creativity. Apple tells you what hardware you can use, what software you can use, and how it will work with your hardware as well.

Or, you could just use a computer to do the tasks you need efficiently, and not act all smug and retarded because it has a biblical symbol on it. There's nothing special about Apple's crap - except that it's so annoying to hear about it all the time, even though there are piles of better products in all arenas on the marketplace already.
