That is absolutely correct, I have no idea why people are hammering you.
It is quite genuinely not a random sample. It is a self-selected group of people who all belong to facebook, and who all actively wanted to express their opinions on a quiz.
I know 6 people who own iPads, only 2 of whom have facebook accounts, and 2 of whom haven't ever heard of facebook.
The two who haven't even heard of facebook are older people (60+) who have been confused by computers right up until now - the iPad is a breath of fresh air for them.
This blog post is a projection of the hopes and dreams of the person who wrote it, which is fine, but to pretend it is anything else is to buy into the blogger's personal fantasy life.

- bandushrew 16y agooh, for sure. I found the blog post an amusing read and an interesting insight into the bloggers mind and opinion set. as scientific insights into the world of iPad users go though, that blog post makes a fantastic donut.
