Best paragraph:
'''
Imagine the reaction when a company like Apple suddenly comes with devices like iPhones and iPads that don’t feel like computers, don’t require nearly as much maintenance & ‘Just work’. Or at least work enough.
Imagine the reaction: “Hey, tech doesn’t need to be difficult. Those nerds have been fooling us all along. Screw them.”

Lots of nerds are slow to wake up to this reality: the iPad is a device nerds love to hate and normal people love to love.
