I can see how that might look incendiary out of context.
ScalyFreak's previous post was a series of observations about the people she's dealt with in her job as tech support. I suspect she left out the phrase
in my experience because she was answering a specific reply to that post, and all she'd been talking about was her own experience!
Wizwor:
I can pretty much guarantee that many users will say the same thing about media bias and their iPad -- that too many reviewers dismiss or belittle Apple. When we trace these patterns, it seems to me we're illustrating our own subjectivity. For whatever reason, be it ill-expressed instinct or territorial ownership, we seem to foreground points of opposition and gloss over instances of concordance.
The choice to buy a KF has everything to do with what
you're going to do. If it suits your purposes and gives you a great user experience for $199, and you don't mind your content being linked to Amazon and largely cloud-based (which is where I have issues with Google as well), then you've saved yourself a lot of money, and that's an intelligent thing to do. I haven't bought a KF, a Nook Color (despite its SD slot), a Galaxy Tablet
or an iPad because none of them satisfies my needs as a potential user just yet.
I would never presume to be the better user for needing a more powerful tablet with specific kinds of software and more storage space. Some would even say you're more of a realist than I am a pragmatist. But I'm a
different kind of user and depend on different specs and software. And that's another reason that specs can be so important.
