Why I won't buy an iPad (and think you shouldn't, either) - Boing Boing
A great rant against the iPad and the closed ecosystem it encourages. I won’t be buying an iPad, because when I’m screwing around at the computer, I’m usually creating something. The iPad is only for consumption, not for creation.
I love OS X and Apple hardware. They make the best computers on the market. Why do I love OS X? Because it’s built on open source and is totally hackable. I can do real development on it and not worry that it won’t work on linux when I go to production with it. I can compile open source software and build my own.
Can I do that with the iPad? Nope.
