[citation][nom]tokenz[/nom]Well seems I owe toms an apology about jumping to conclusions about the apple tab. Just tired of all the apple hype. They are a crappy company. Terrible, monopolistic, company with no morals, or ethics whatsoever. They should be sued into oblivion for their closed platform, anti-competitive practices.[/citation] Same here, toms: my bad.

still, we all hate apple, maybe you should start writing a bit more negative about them, instead of it only being the readers that comment on them... oh wait, you don't have freedom of speech in the USA, apple will come and RAID your house!

Now that I took another look at the article, I so see that the first line is kind of negative:
Could it be only a year late?
 
[citation][nom]usersname[/nom]As you can't even construct a grammatically correct sentence or two then you'd better trot off to a different tech site cos the times they are a changin', and some traditional PC folk feel like their world is slipping away. It is.[/citation]

Its not slipping away. How could it your almighty god has what .003percent of the market on computers and laptops? And what 10% of the smartphone market. How is that a revolution. Seems like you have been duped by all the apple hype. I had to kill time the other day, so I went to best buy and heckled the idiots that were staring at the ipad. One guy was talking about how its so cool. I said yeah it is lets watch hulu. So he tried to bring it up and guess what nope. Another guy wanted to watch a video he had on facebook. It took him 10 minutes to get there because either the screen wasnt calibrated or the ipads touch is terrible, but once he got there guess what? couldnt watch it because its flash.

You have saved yet another two people from spending their hard-earned salary on a product which is made by a company which is run by Satan
 
[citation][nom]tokenz[/nom]... couldnt watch it because its flash.[/citation] ...yes...slipping away...
P.s. you need lessons in grammar too. Oh, and punctuation really does help convey clarity of meaning.

Why thank you sir. I did it because I used to buy apple ipods. I had a first gen which was awesome. At the time I couldnt believe how much I used it. Then a third gen. Then a video ipod that was stolen. Had a couple of nano's too. The only thing I complained about was no divx and itunes. Then my video was stolen and apple wouldnt help me out by tracking the serial number. Then I bought a touch. The next week they wanted to charge me 20 bucks to upgrade it to a new os. The touch went on ebay, and I havent bought anything apple since. I just think that all the cards should be laid on the table. Those two would have bought it thinking that they could do things that apple doesnt approve of like flash. Everyone is like who cares it wont do flash. Well I do and so does everyone that just wants to use facebook, hulu, youtube, espn, and the list goes on and on.....

Not so long ago Apple fanboys were calling Gates the devil whilst Wintelians determined Apple to be an insignificant zit on the arse of technology. Steve Jobs has climbed one hell of a ladder there boys. Better watch out, he might bite your bottoms!
 
^ Wow, I understood exactly what he was saying - I own an iPhone 3G and even I agree that Apple and Jobs are full of shit. He's a tyrant.
 
You are looking at an article specific to an Apple product. Go to an article specific on Intel and you will see an Intel tab that allows you to find other related (to Intel) news. Same is true for other major manufacturers. This isn't a site-wide change where Apple is featured, it's a targeted Apple specific. If you don't want to see Apple news, please stop clicking on the articles and posting crybaby posts.

I know it's not just Apple that gets bashed, it's most companies that are in the spotlight. Just tired of non-constructive posts all the time.
 
[citation][nom]noggie12[/nom]wow. u ppl are like kids. just grow up and shut up, if u dont wanna read the apple news DO NOT CLICK THE APPLE NEWS.[/citation]
its not that we don't want to read it, we just hate apple so much, and we will keep bashing them until somebody gets the message!

We can either leave apple in peace and let it grow to world domination, or bash them, hoping that eventually consumers realize what they are doing.

we are doing the world a favor.
 
hmm... I thought this article is talking "finally" AT&T will be offering Tethering service for iPhone customers.

Why people just keep jumping on Apple which is not even the point of the story.

iPhone tethering is already an old old news (last year). It is AT&T who still remains as the only (or one of the very few) iPhone carrier on the earth who still fail to offer Tethering service for iPhone.

I don't like those pointness Apple/MS/ or whatever news...

but to be fair... this is an AT&T news and iPhone OS4 is just the hint to suggest that AT&T may "finally" offer this service when iPhone OS4 arrive.

This can be a very important news for current iPhone customers in the US.

We are all smart individuals... try to be a little more objective, and fair.
 
[citation][nom]pocketdrummer[/nom]Will you guys stop complaining about Apple news? What other news is there right now? Have you heard anything noteworthy elsewhere aside from MS's new Windows Mobile OS (that will probably suck as bad as the last)? How about Microsoft's new hotmail... do you really care about that either?It's still hardware, and it's still news. If you don't want to hear it, petition to rename tom's hardware "Tom's PC-Only Hardware"That aside, it's unnecessary to post your disappointment every time they report on Apple. They've addressed the readers already, and they don't intend on stopping.[/citation]Well yes I have. Reading engadget I get some 15+ more tech articles a day and generally live coverage from every major tech event in the USA, Europe, and Japan. Can't remember the last time I saw an original news article from Tom's that wasn't berating users for complaining about a flood of apple news that could easily be summed up in 1-3 articles instead of the 30 articles they choose to write. Although I do find this particular Apple article news worthy, I would have liked it more if they mentioned Apple is still catching up since Verizon's Palm Pre Plus tethers for free without violating your contract.

Really?

Fun Fact 1: We post about a max of 3-Apple artilcles a day if even that. Where's the 30 Apple articles per day on Tom's that you're seeing?

Fun Fact 2: Banned.

If Tom's listens to all users negative petitions maybe they will have nothing to announce and you complainers will have the empty blank screen you adore. Even if this and other tech websites stop announcing Apple products it will only weaken your point of view. Deal with reality people and be good sports.
 
Every time I see someone say "apple catching up" I am reminded how badly Apple hurt itself by partnering with AT&T. It's AT&T that has held the iPhone features back because their network could not handle it or they just want a way to make more money from it.
 
PLEASE KEEP THE APPLE NEWS COMING! and stop whining all you MOFOs. Tom's reports all good news, and there is no reason they should stop reporting on Apple stuff.

Sorry, I didn't have a Mac or crappy ipad to type it on. Only my Blackberry.
