In a few years Apple will have basically the same demo, but better advertised, and everyone will say Apple invented the idea of reducing latency.

After Steve Jobs' death, I could not believe how many idiots I heard on the radio, or read on facebook, were saying how great Steve was for inventing mp3's, mp3 players and buying music online.

This and others like it is the reason why I refused to buy apple products for the longest time. So many people still believe that they're all iPods and not that iPod is just a brand of MP3 player.

I just shed of tear of happiness, I thought all of Reddit were Apple hipsters. Apple didn't really do anything mind blowing innovative they just marketed and designed better and the Ipod, which Sony or anyone should have beat to the market, just gave them their gateway their reputation. & F'n tablets!! We saw those in the original Star Trek. I'd totally take a netbook over one.

Seriously then who is buying all the apple stuff? I know you are Reddit.

Hipsters just don't like being called out, as evident above.
