Apple’s iPad will suffer from the “theft factor” and Apples’ unintended gain could be repeat buyers replacing their stolen units. “You feel bad for the rich kids and the trendy types who lost this thing, you know, the only thing worse for them from the actual theft of it, is now they don’t have anything to flash around, so I think they’ll be running back to buy additional iPads. I think this might be kind of an unintended consequence and a good thing for Apple – they’ll be able to sell, you know, they’ll be a second wave of of purchases.”
No, we’re not kidding. No, this isn’t an early April Fool’s joke. Apparently, Scott really is that stupid or this is a failed Funny Or Die skit or something.
The short (1:42) video, which is so stupid that you can’t take your eyes off it, is here.
MacDailyNews Take: Stupid Moritz.
I suppose you’re right.
He’s a moron.
I would jail the mother for incitement.
…”rich kids”
. . . “nothing to show off”
He has a high opinion of the average Apple customer.
(sarcasm.)
I suppose that’s okay, because the sentiment is returned.
Moritz/Moron/Stupid. Triply redundant.
and irresponsible repoting
MDN
If you are going to make a joke at least spell the Marianas trench right.
Geez!
Look at the stock go!
twodales,
MacDailyNews did spell Mariana Trench right, dumbass.
This guy is incredible. He cant come up with anything good to say, this is a joke. Please, please remind him what he said last year: The ipad will be an iFlop. (I have already)
If your going to be sanctimonious, at least spell Mariana Trench correctly. Like MDN did.

the pressure of having to report, something, anything…. i feel sorry for him, his analysis is never that good but this is the low point
Stupid is as idiot does! Or something like that. He has always been the weakest link.
He’s the perfect technology reporter … FOR ME TO POOP ON!
To reiterate, Scott Moritz is a known putz.
Disregard everything he has to say about Apple.
I must be one of the rich kids he’s talking about. I wear jeans, sneakers, and a sweatshirt to work in my office. Only problem is I’m 62. Moritz must have been to poor kid in high school who got chosen last for team sports. His resentment and frustration comes out all too often. I don’t need an iPad to flash around. I’ll put my six figure income up against his any time.
What an idiot! He’s got Win7 for brains (CPU).
Ahhh …
Another reason to go 3G.
Find my iPad.
Make that:
I would jail the mother for instigation and incitement to theft.
He should be fired and disciplined harshly for reckless abusive and irresponsible reporting.
If he has kids , he should be charged with endangering them, by making them a target to enraged readers.
LoJack for ipad??? Some type of command sent to the stolen ipad if that renders it inoperative. Similar to too many attempts to unlock?
BTW, I already ordered a replacement for my soon to be stolen ipad. Just in case…
Hey, he forgot about all the replacements people will buy due to earthquakes. In a quake it would be inevitable that they’ll slide off the table and get busted. Think of all the resales Apple would get from that!!
(Note: I’m not the originator of the quake damage scenario to Apple’s products.)
TRANSLATION:
Scott wants to steal one.
This is the 1,249th occasion of Scott Moritz demonstrating his astonishing IQ levels…
Sorry everyone, It’s not Scott’s fault. I used to beat that punk up in grade school and take his lunch money!
By this Moritz-logic (oxymoron?), Microsoft products are pretty much theft-proof by design.
Well I suppose he’s right, there WILL be a very small percentage of people who have their iPad stolen and so they buy another one. But it certainly won’t be enough to have any real positive effect for Apple. And what an asinine thing to ‘report’ on. How does anybody get paid for doing that??
