Shouldn't it be the other way around? You fight for our rights then we vote you back into the next election? Same goes for the previous by-elections! Why give us the money AFTER we vote for you? Shouldn't it be you give us the money to build the school and give us the amenities we deserve, then we vote you back into the post? This is in the wrong order!!

Totally agree with you. iPad is seen as the replace-all-netbooks solution but it really is just a go- betweener. Someone who just does plain surfing and reading will find that the iPad is ideal to their needs but those who want to do some work will eventually have to find something with a keyboard.

Paul: I would be interested too if this deal really materialized...

lady dada: Hmmm it seems that you are someone I know personally since you address me as how my friends would. Visitors wouldn't usually be bothered to address the owner of the blog. Even if they did, people would just refer to me as Jianchung or Ahyen. So please identify yourself before you start taking sides or at least login with a username which I can identify you by. If I am wrong then I apologize before hand but do read on further.

If you read my comments properly, I said "Yes I did copy and paste the statement" but be mindful and make a Google search if Apple actually used that exact statement. Also do consider that I never mentioned anywhere that I didn't understand what it meant. So how can you say that I am copying and pasting without knowing?

If you really really took a long hard look at how the first few comments were laid out you would see the different ways people comment or reply and it is with this difference that contributes to miscommunication . People send SMSes without proofreading them and considering how others would react to the message. Same goes with emails and anything which is done in writing. The thing is written content will will always create misunderstandings. That is why smileys are there for. Adding a smiley makes the written content friendlier instantly! Unless you are someone who is so adept at writing to people, it is recommended to everyone to be more aware of each word written in that email, SMS or even a birthday card. Trust me, it makes a world of difference. I too am learning to do that.

So lady dada I AM learning to handle comments better but are you learning to give better comments? Or do you resort to copy and pasting the gist of other comments without knowing and take it as your own? That I believe is a big no-no.

ndru: Hmm if you say so my friend, if you say so. Anyway that is just Intense Debate's rating system. If you create a user account with them, any further comments on any blog which has Intense Debate installed would be logged and rated. The more comments you make the higher the reputation you get. Thats why at the bottom of my comments area I ask readers to log in. Its not bad but I'm gonna do away with it later coz its taking too much time to load.

ndru: Yes I did copy and paste that term but there is a difference between sharing and plagiarizing. If the video I posted with had no hint of iPhone.TW whatsoever, then yes it is considered plagiarizing because no credit was given to the source. The video had iPhone.TW plastered in the title, my screenshot of it has the term iPhone.TW so I don't see how this is plagiarizing. "Facebook is a social media or networking site, a place where ppl share" and "Youtube is a media content sharing site" - there you said it yourself. Now I what I did was considered plagiarizing then wouldn't all the users of YouTube and Facebook be plagiarizing as well?

It seems that you don't think that your comment "Oh yes is just a tagline. Do you understand the tagline? Or you just copy blindly ? Why copy or blog something that you have no understanding or u cant explain?I bet everyone can blog if all they do is just copy and paste." is offensive and accusing. And I can't do anything about that because it is your own right to post comments whichever way you like it. Similarly with me answering with a simple "So?" and you think that I have nothing to say but it is how I chose to answer it.

It is clear that the way we both communicate might be a problem (OK I'll understand if you don't want to admit it) so let us try to reflect on it and improve ourselves. But what amazes me is that you take a stand and give comments as though you do know the industry well enough, that you do know your stuff - kudos to you on that but still what are you doing visiting my lesser blog? Are you on an ego trip or something? Well if my blog has helped you achieve that then I am pleased that my blog has been of use to you. Have a good trip and do come back safely as I am looking forward to more of your posts on humility.

ndru: I'll have to commend you on your conversation skills. First you throw baseless accusations at me, then you justify your actions and leave some room for yourself so that you don't paint yourself into a corner. I'm worked up? Hell yeah but first you'll have to look at your initial comments which I believe would pass off as offensive and accusing. Second of all, if everyone who quoted some line from a commercial or shared a video on their blog is labeled as plagiarizing I believe Facebook or YouTube would not have survived till this day.

Maybe you should be more careful on how you word your sentences in the future. It helps to be in context when commenting.

ndru: Well yeah I did copy and paste that. So?

ndru: Its just the iPhone 4 tagline my friend, its just the tagline.

bapester: Yeah those were quite good as well. Probably I should update this post when I have more pics ;) Artery clogging? Hahaha anything without pork is not qualified! LOL
