So I caved and got an iPad4....

That isnt hip anymore. Hipsters have moved on as the scene has gotten overcrowded.

Wouldn't a hipster use an old HP Touchpad with a sticker of some obscure indie rock band on the back instead?

This one uses the comma correctly.

Why not use the original version of that image?

No. Hipsters love Apple. Apple and premium coffee are like the only mainstream things hipsters will admit to liking.

Everytime I see that pic I get a laugh out of how he tries to flex while sitting in the chair.

who is that and whats the need for all gear, also unless the pictures old, its time to update the tv. it just doesn't look right with all the other flat panel monitors .

Is that the $15 cover accessory? I'm talking about just shifting my body & the ipad after being in an uncomfortable position on the bed while watching... I'd pick the thing up for a brief second to move it slightly and accidentally hit the button. They should've put it in a corner imo.

Oh. No, I've never had that problem. Maybe my hands are bigger so I grab it differently or something like that?

It was well before your time n00b.

Here's the original thread which is worth reading, it starts getting good around post 41+.

Yeah, so a dude name NIK called out the guy in the picture (trygve) for posting a picture of his workstation. NIK keeps going on about how that's not really trygve's workstation, because NIK found some pictures on some website that hosted that picture. NIK called out trygve. NIK got owned in the process.

Man, before that, and around that time, ATOT was the bomb.

Anyways, OP delivered. Elite!

I love my ipad3 64GB ... love reading on it, watching movies, browsing sites, just awesome. I never thought i'd actually use it as much as I do.

Thanks all for the elite votes...I'm sure the wife is enjoying her little ego boost.

Cydia is like the unofficial App Store for tweaks, enhancements, and the kind of apps that Apple will never approve on the official App Store (like emulators for game consoles).

I found the hosted image before I found the thread link.

I do not thin he is flexing - He is pressing the button to take the picture.

He certainly has a nice house in a nice neighborhood. Took a virtual drive through it on Google maps.

I have an iPad mini. I'd recommend it over an iPad if you are taking it with you places. For strictly home use I'd rather have an iPad.

If Microsoft's tablet doesn't completely suck (and I don't think it does, having used Windows 8 and been happy with it), I will probably transition to that. Apple's insistence on dominating your software gets old.. I mean something as simple as playing .avi movies I had to download/buy a separate app for.

I sort of get their angle, making things very simplistic and encouraging further Apple purchases to keep you in their world, but I think long-term this strategy fails because people become more tech savvy and don't need so much babysitting with their products. with Windows 8 Microsoft is trying to provide the same ease-of-use across hardware using their platform, but does not restrict access as much as Apple
