I think it's a case of something being funny on paper but not as a game. I guess you could debate wether or not an extreme parody of Monopoly is even funny in and of itself, but I doubt the designer played the game even once, it's probably just "What if we made a ludicrous version of Monopoly ? That could be fun, right ?"

Their kickstarter claims it's satire. After watching the videos there, I think they don't know what satire is.

Coming from Android their is a distinct lack of control, customization or even utility.

Yes, if you value control and customization, then an iPad is the wrong choice and an Android tablet is the right choice. That has nothing to do with the quality of the device, just that it's the wrong device for your needs.

Any tablet will let you surf in bed. Why pay $900 for the Apple tablet to do that?

This just makes me think you're being obtuse, though. The only way to even spend $900 on an iPad is to include absolutely every option (Cellular, 128GB, latest model), which does come out to $929. That's overkill for surfing in bed.

I think I see what you are saying. The average bed surfer gets the $400 model that is somewhat competitive with the top end Android devices on price but not features. It still makes no sense. Why not spend $150 for the equally equipped Android? And price comparisons aside, what about Apple devices is attractive over Android? I'll give you that money is no object and you have no desire to control or customize. What makes you choose Apple then?

As for being obtuse, no, I just understand how technology works and see no point in buying anything less than the most fully equipped model of whatever it is unless I really am looking to solve a very specific problem where no overkill is needed. The overkill today just barely makes spec next week for whatever it is you want to do. My employer insisted I have the top model in this device. I should note my primary use here is 3D model manipulation and toting full sets of CAD DWGs onto remote job sites. Cellular is mandatory and 128GB is approaching paltry. Wonder how this thing will stack up in a year?

No expandable storage is another head scratcher here.

Can an Android tablet run iOS apps?  That's all I need a tablet to do.

I hear ya. The reason I got this device is the Autodesk app I need has no Android equivalent. There are definitely some superior apps in the App Store. I'm not sure there are any real killers though. Do you know of any?

[Axxle]

It's a lot easier to develop for the iOS since it has such a wider audience and the hardware isn't varied like with Android, thus why there are a lot of aps that only exist there or are just better.

[Watno]

iOs doesn't have a wider audience, only an audience that is more willing to pay money.

I'm calling the audience fat.

edit: Yeah, that's actually what I meant. There's more money in iOS than Android in most cases.

It has a wider audience by platform though doesnt it?
There are lots more android devices but all running different software and screen sizes that makes it hard to standardise

any idea what the formula is for how mathematicians affect ticks?  I'm trying to build spreadsheets, because my alternative is doing work

I found the function.  On the plus side, this exercise has perhaps taught me some things about coding?

What is the function? I haven't put too much effort into optimising and building a spreadsheet, but then again maybe I haven't been playing long enough. The game has gotten my curiousity at least.

I love that Dsell just used "literally" correctly when defending the broad use of "ironic". So meta !

Even with all this iOS vs. Android talk, I'm still forced to used a Blackberry for work.  What a horrible thing that is.

Yeah.  Didn't you notice how all the text is centered?  Terrible.

Don't ask me! My roommate's examining the script and he said something about nesting fonts, and not previously knowing that that was possible. Or something. All I know is it's hilarious.

These are some of the normal problems you may experience during the embroidery process.

Favourite parts were ATLA (of course), Doug/Rugrats, Magic School Bus/Futurama, and Looney Tunes at the end.  I don't recognize the Dragon Ball Z theme at all... maybe it's been too long.

Lots of tags haven't been closed properly, leaving the browser to guess where the closing tags should have been.  Something like that is probably the issue, but I haven't been able to recreate it starting from scratch.

Whoever has my dodgy left knee..... Bad luck!

I've still not actually worked out if I'm a figment of your collective imagination yet.... Bourne out of the need of all the nerd talk to have a gibberish outlet

It's driving me and the pink elephant crazy trying to work it out
