Yes, its true, they do! They use them for screen wipes!

It also appeals to people who spend all day working in front of a computer screen and enjoy interacting with new technology.

Does that mean, if I'm lucky enough to get one for my birthday, it will come with a badge to show that I am actually a jolly nice person, who isn't mean to small animals, and is most certainly NOT an over-achiever? :D

Bloke I know is rich successful and would not spit on you if you were on fire.

He does not have an iPad at all. ;)

It just proves that the scum rises to the top. Having an iPad does not make you a selfish elite, it just is that it might have enough money to buy one. If you happen to be a selfish elite chances are you would have the money to buy one.

Depends on the scale of the sum and how it was acquired.

If you inherited it then elite. If you run a business that pays only minimum wage yet you earn several hundred thousand annually then selfish. If you won it in lottery and gave some to friends, family and charity then neither selfish or elitist.

Just like the assumptions usually directed to BMW owners.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I wipe my iPod Classic screen on my moggie's back. :P

(I don't really. Just a hanky is sufficient.)

Funnily enough, one of them loves to jump on my desk as I'm working, and proceed to literally get in my face. So, I guess you could say I wipe my nose on her back.

:shock:
