Ipad owners are the selfish elite

[Crackle]

Wired is running this, though the Wail's take is a bit more one sided

It’s not exactly official, but should also surprise no one: According to a new study the psychological profile of iPad owners can be summed up as “selfish elites” while have-not critics are “independent geeks.”
Of course the “haves” would probably call the “have nots” “cheap wannabes” to which the “have nots” would retort: “FANBOI!!” Which is why we should stick to the science.

So, another study based on popular stereotypes and in other news........

How can ipad owners be 'selfish'?

The screen is that bloody big, everyone on the bus can see it.

Sounding a bit thick here but what do you do with this screen thing on a bus?

Is whatever you do better than looking at the girls in short skirts? That seems to be the only good point about public transport.

You can read The Guardian on line. So much more cost effective than those silly old newspapers.

How do you work that out? You have just paid £600 for your computer without a keyboard, and your internet connection is costing a fair bit too. The last time I bought the Guardian I am sure I got change out of £2.00. and some free bedding for the Guinea Pig.

I think he's missing the sarcasm smiley.

As no-one has taken the bait, I'll release the proper story as carried by the Guardian. Amazing thing, journalistic slant.

Yes I did!
I tend to ignore them as I really do not know what most apart from the smiley smiley mean.
Just found this one-
