Another 7.4 earthquake over by Japan

[petvas]

In the OP's defense if I didn't already have my iPad2 I'd be wondering how this might affect availability. I doubt that I'd voice this concern on a public forum, but it would certainly have crossed my mind. I'd be more impressed if those who responded to this thread proposed doing something constructive to help the situation rather than dog piling on the OP for being insensitive. Beating up on the OP is not going to help the people of Japan, if you want to help, help, otherwise your no more sympathetic to the situation than the OP.

Yes, you are right. People should donate.

Of course we all thing about the availability of the iPad, we just try to be not that upfront. I also have an iPad 2, so I don't really care about the availability of a device I already have.
Anyway, let's hope that Japan will make it through this unbelievable catastrophe.

Wow, relax people. I highly doubt that the OP posted this with the intent to disregard all those suffering in Japan. Before we all jump on him, let's remember that we are in the iPad forum. I don't see the problem in wondering if iPad production is going to be affected. I'm sure he wasn't trying to upset anybody.

Not anymore, it was moved to current events. It is not an iPad issue.

Maybe we overreacted a bit. You should be a bit more careful next time though.

My apologies.

I understand what you were trying to say but it really didn't come across that way at all. Of course, rather than simply ask, people would simply like to jump down your throat instead.

So far it looks like the quake was no big deal. Fingers crossed for those poor people.

seriously? Thousands upon thousands dead, radiation leaking into the pacific, millions displaced from their homes and jobs and you are worried about getting your ipad2? Maybe you should fly to japan so you can buy one there directly and take in the sights while you are at it...just so you can see how stupid you sound worrying about getting your gadget on time.

MSNBC says another earthquake hit off of Japan again! 7.4 magnitude which caused another tsunami alert for the northeastern coast. I believe they should STOP ALL PRODUCTIONS until further notice!


*EDIT*

Sorry my good folks. What I said was written wrong so I changed it. Never meant any harm.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Our message doesn't always come through on the forums like it would if we were having a conversation. Hope to see you around on the forums.

It came out all kinds of wrong but the internet is a place for strangers to get all gangsta™ on other strangers from behind the safety of computers. Cheap thrills more than anything personal.

Yes I saw that and I try to remove myself from the situation and look at it from the outside-in. Only then, did I understand and see the angle it was being viewed. Lord knows I didn't mean it that way and I instantly got PO'd for anyone thinking I was senseless. But in reality, the post was. So I had no problem humbling myself and taking internet shots people were saying. I would have said the same. But I think everyone can see it's not like the way it seemed and I've moved forward from it. Hopefully they can to.

Don't worry and don't take it personally. I think everybody here understands. We all here love Apple products and sometimes we get a bit carried away.
