If people don't go to Apple hardware forum it means they don't care about Apple hardware. And if they don't care you shouldn't impose it on them. We already have several ipad threads in TMP so why not just use those? I don't have a problem with having one where you can have a general discussion with input from everybody.

What annoys me is the "holier than thou so I can post wherever I want" attitude displayed by apple people. Linux people don't do, Windows people don't do it, Nvidia/ATI, Intel/AMD fanboys don't do it. It is just freaking apple that think they are better than everyone else just because they buy overpriced pretty pcs.

It reminds me Jehovah's witnesses: Nobody gives a cr@p about them so they go around and knock on people's doors.

And no, I am not trying to be rude. I just trying to explain it so you understand better.
And yes, I hate Apple and I am allergic to everything apple.

And Steve: It is ok to be pedantic. I suggest we have another third section called "Other crap made by Apple". I would love that. And you could have your ipad discussions there

This thread wasn't started by 'Apple person' though.

How come there's no tabs?

Seems pretty clear to me. But anyway, it doesn't matter who started it. I am not picking on Mike, just apple users in general.

Mike, this is not personal. You are not the first nor last posting incorrectly, but I think enough is enough and unfortunately it was your thread where I voiced my dislike of ipad stuff being posted in TMP

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

As said, quite rightly, earlier. Please don't feed.

Same reason there's no tabs in the iPhone Safari I guess <shrug> - you get pages instead. Tap and hold on a link and you get a dialogue box with the options of "Open, Open in new page or Copy'. If you have to have tabs there are other browsers that will accomodate it e.g. Atomic.

Like it says, 'discuss things here'. Not platform-centric 'things', not hardware-specific 'things', just things.

I can understand it on the iPhone, but you've much more space with the iPad, would it not make more sense to have tabs as the default there? I'm assuming that's the way it is on Macs?

Crossbows. How very topical.

Perhaps it'll come with iPhone OS 4 or something?

All I'm saying is that TMP is a bit of a catchall and always has been. Who cares if you don't give a squat about Apple products? Don't open the thread!
If you want to provoke a mixed reaction about something, stick it in TMP or the WITN forums...If you go direct to the Mac/PC/Programming/etc. boards you'll only get a small subsection, many of which are probably positive about the topic...And that doesn't always make for interesting or fun conversation...

Don't know how to embed video in a post, so here you go:

And how do we embed a vid so that it'll play in a post? Or is that a bad idea?

If so, why?

+1 I am a mac user and will be getting an iPhone next month and even an iPad (probably next year) but aside from that I do not criticise Microsoft at every possible opportunity. There are also many windows users who have iphones and will be getting an iPad, may be not in these forums. Though I certainly do not criticise people for their choice of hardware or software.
