Safari sucks on the iPad. Not so bad on the iMac, but I preferFirefox. iPhone is a challenge too. If I'm doing posts with pics, it's going to be on my PC at work or the iMac at home. Every platform has issues, some way or another. Don't need a lecture about one vs the other - I was using a PC before there was a PC. Apple computer is so far a ahead of Windows, there's no comparison.
Thanks! You've reminded me that I had downloaded the Terra browser so I'm giving it a try right now. With rich-text enabled it does the annoying spell check thing, but, with it disabled it seems to work. I think I may have figured out how to post pictures, too.
Yep.. it has started already :bigsmile: Refer to this post
I don't really have the patience to do much posting/editing with my tablet. Whether it's an iPad or an Android, I find it obnoxious when I have a perfectly good laptop to use. I find it wonderful for couch surfing though :)
I've tried Linux on a few occasions and just couldn't get comfortable with it. I couldn't find a real competitor to the UI you get with iOS or Windows. It still seems geared towards programmers and that's not what I want with my OS. I really do like the ability to customize, but in a user friendly way. That's one of the reasons I prefer Android over the iPad. I can make it closer to a computer while retaining its tablet characteristics. That, and I already admitted I'm a hater, haha (I'm also currently an HP hater and Sony hater for specific reasons)
I only really use it for text posting, anything that needs pictures has to wait till I get to a computer (both PC and Mac)
Its just too much hassle on any mobile platform at this stage. Well, its that much easier and faster when uploading and editing on a computer as opposed to a mobile device.
The thing is, I can post in UBB forums just fine, link to pictures, etc, on the iPad. I just can't do that easily [i]here[/i]. It's like I have to learn how to post in forums all over again and it's annoying.
Honestly I can't stand the iPad for anything but viewing web pages and photos. I received it as an xmas gift and use it every day for about 2 hours at night to read in bed. I much prefer my laptop but the iPad is so easy to boot, no cords etc, and very light.
I really hate it compared to my laptop but apparently laziness wins out over functionability :)
How does using an Apple product turn the user into a sheep?
Is the driver of a Toyota a sheep? After all it is the biggest selling car in the world.
The system the user chooses to use is irrelevant, it could be Windows, Android or MS DOS.
Surely using an Ipad makes the user anything but a sheep, there are by far more Windows users throughout the world that IOS.
I think it's time you yourself stopped being a sheep by following the Apple haters and to have an educated opinion of your own instead of regurgitating the BS you've read else where on the net.
The sheep argument just doesn't make too much sense.
I really like the Dolphin browser on my Android 4.0 tablet... much better than Firefox for android (which I use for WIN7) and the integrated Google one. I believe it's free and available for Ipad users also? Have you tried switching the browser from tablet mode to normal desktop mode? (many browsers allow that..in Dolphin it is called )
As far as Apple goes .... they make great products that work out of the box... but I don't like their restrictive policies very much. BLF is not the time or the place for flame wars... they are prone to get out of hand... you now how people are that defend their "religion". ;-)
