The argumentation is as follows:
* Cutting and pasting doesn't work as nice on an iPad as on a PC
* Therefore, the iPad is worse than a PC
* Also, Apple sells a lot of macs
* Therefore, they must have crippled copy-pasting on purpose
* Therefore, the iPad 2 isn't better than the original iPad
Doesn't make sense to me.
- ortatherox 16y agoI don't know if it makes much sense to anyone, had I known it was going to be cringely I'd have not clicked. My general opinion is that copy & pasting is pretty good in the iOS, it's certainly good enough for my everyday usage.

- timrobinson 16y agoI take "the iPad 2 isn't even better" to mean: - Although iPad 2 is good, it would be even better (than itself) if it made copying & pasting easy - Copying & pasting is more difficult on the iPad 2 than it could be - Therefore the iPad 2 could be better (than itself)
- glhaynes 16y agoExactly. Never have understood why Cringely gets so much publicity - I rarely see him write anything that's better than a random blogger. Still, though... props for Triumph of the Nerds, it was entertaining.
- rsanders 16y agoWhen thrown, the iPad 2 is also less aerodynamically stable than a Frisbee, therefore Apple must have secret holdings in a toy company. This is some powerful mojo. It's like I'm finally seeing the real world.
