[Opinion]: Some People Just Don't Get It

Bloggers do it better. They gossip. They report. They opine. They congratulate. They umbellate by spreading the word of the tablet pc. Yes, indeed. These pseudo-investigative reporters provide all of us with hours of discussions, hours of laughter, and hours of fun.

In contrast, the media’s contumacious conduct regarding their hatred of the tablet pc produces an odor of discontent. The Register quotes David Nagel, the CEO from PalmSource saying, “The Tablet PC has been something of a disaster.” The author then adds to the slam by personally saying, “We'd like to think so too.”

Let’s get to the truth. The Register has not been given a free tablet pc. They have been demanding free product from the manufacturers and the manufacturers are not providing it. And rightly so. Those days are over. Manufacturers should not give out free product for someone to write about the tablet pc. Don’t do it. Let the media malcontents rot in their own vomit and puke.

As long as the main media reporters spread ill-will regarding the form factor then manufacturers should give tablet pcs to the bloggers and let them spread the euphoria. **** the media and pay off the bloggers.

After all, most bloggers understand the concept of the tablet pc and most of the members of the media don't get it.

What do you think?

Spanking good. Hate the reg and don't bother going anymore. As you said, they are "malcontents" and who cares what they think anyway.

misty,

:helpsmili

It took me a second or two (uhm, like overnight) to figure out how to respond to your post and your IM. This post of mine was just a hyperbole. It was written in the same style and language as the register and was meant as a nudge and not a spanking. The language is designed to provoke a reaction. I didn't mean any harm by it and certainly do not hate the author of the register article.

Hopefully you can appreciate the style and laugh. ;-)
