Go Apple. What a great way to start the new year…

Now if we could only get that guy that bought a Surface to stop tweeting…. Sheeeze.

Just a holiday thought,

  Maybe his tweets started with excitement but have become mere desperate pleas for help as the confusion sets in?

Awww, come on now guys! Just give those Surfacers a chance. Once they install the anti-virus, reboot, install Twitter, reboot, defragment the hard drive, reboot, run a disk clean-up, arrange all those purdy colored tiles so they can finally actually find the Twitter app, manually transfer their files from their Windows 8 desktop, reboot, fix the tear on the plasticy keyboard mat, reboot, reinstall the OS due to a malware infection they got by checking the weather, reboot from a lock-up………..then they’ll Tweet like hell about how much they loves their Surface.

  Actually, there still isn’t a Twitter app for Surface yet, so they’ll get stuck at Step 3.

Give the Surface people a break! They are all too busy doing “real work”.

  On Christmas Eve? They are either serious workaholics requiring intervention, antisocial dweebs or old types that are clueless about the twitter.

Of course, there are a lot of dumb tablets that can barely browse or are not meant to use this way. Also, some people are not that “advanced” in social networks to engage in Twitter or those who find to use other, non-Apple tablets not that convenient.

But still Apple is probably quite firm with its 55-70% share in tablet market.

I mentioned this in yesterday’s Merry Christmas topic but it’s more appropriate here and worth repeating. I had my pre-teen daughter count up the Instagram and Facebook messages from her circle of friends with notable Christmas gifts. Here’s her sample point (updated last night):

iPhones – 42
Beats by Dre – 17
iPods – 15
iPads – 8
iPod Nano – 7
iPad Minis – 5
Kindle Fire – 5
Dog – 3
MacBook Pro – 2
Dell Laptop – 1
Galaxy S III – 1

    Sorry no, should have been more clear. The Dog is an actual Dog that barks and everything. Microsoft Surface – 0

      Whew. A real dog is a good present. Dogs can be trained to not shit all over the house, and to rescue people, lead the blind, stuff like that. A Surface never stops shitting all over the house.

  I love my iPhone and my iPad (and my iMac), but if I had to pick, you could take them all and I’ll keep my dog. Just sayin’

    That’s one reason why I don’t have a dog. I don’t have to make that choice!

One thing I should mention is misinformation.
Long story short, the clerk at B&N told my friend that he can use apps from iTunes and he bought 2 Nooks HD.
He was little disappointed to find out he could not and that he was duped into buying this crap.

  He can take them back. And he should definitely lodge a complaint with B&N.
