This is easily my favorite thread on this site right now. Good laughs, thanks all.

I can't believe you are finding humor in my pain. I forked out big money for what basically is an overweight rectangular frisbee.

Let me list the cons:
Doesn't hover.
Non microwaveable.
The screen is only the best on any mobile device. It should be more the best.
Doesn't make coffee.
It won't tell me it loves me.
Incompatible with LTE on Uranus.
 
I hate the topics on here where people are wanting to find something wrong with their iPad because there's no way (in their minds) that they got a good one. I could sit here with a magnifying glass and go ape ****, but I've got better things to do.
 
Ah, see, right there is your problem. You are using the Simon Game faux leather case from 1983. I am using the one from 1984, and the sleep/wake feature works just fine.

Oh man, I have been looking for the 1984 case. What site did you get if off of???
 
A troll trolls trolls. (a)

This IS a funny thread, i laughed like 1 minute ago so yeah, i was not serious before
 
OK everyone we are getting off task here. Lets refocus.

Now tell me is it a bug or a feature that when I let the iPad's battery drain down to 0%, the screen turns black and wont show any pretty colors until I connect it to the rectangle in my wall with the three holes using that white snake like thing that came in the box underneath those really cool Apple stickers?

Well it's easy to make fun of this, but there are people here who are in serious trouble. This are serious forum, and there's no place for humor, or laughing. No laughing. Just try not to relax, as then they have got you. Never mind that they have stolen your money, that's not the worst. The worst is they are laughing at you. Yes, they are laughing at you right now ha ha ha and..................time for meds.
 
How dare you all make fun of the fact that I was seriously short changed on my predictions of the iPad 3. It's waaaaay too heavy and I can't even finish reading my favorite webpage before it too hot to even hold. I mean c'mon, at least the other two I returned over the weekend didn't bleed from every side like my current replacement.

And it all started when I got a delivery exception on launch day which I'm sure is because there was a plot by Apple all along to rip me off.
 
:( :mad: :confused:

Anyone else suffer from 3rd degree burns after using their iPad 3? I took it out the the box yesterday and loaded up a game of Angry Birds, which doesn't even look good on this "Retina Display" (looks like ****** honestly, cant tell the difference from iPad 2). And then after only 3 games i start feeling a burning sensation and all of a sudden my skin is literally blistering on my left hand. I dropped the damn thing is serious pain and it started a house fire in my living room. Needless to say im a little upset, half my house burned down and the doctors are saying I may not be able to use my hand to its full potential, if ever at all. Basically what im trying to ask here is, how many times do you think i can get Apple to open up new boxes of iPads to exchange mine in the store until they say im bat ****** crazy?

1) The hand burns were anticipated which is why Apple chose to include voice dictation with this generation ipad.

2) Can you help me get 3 stars on level 9 of the Golden Eggs?

Thank you.

I think you're making all this up, and you think we're all really gullible. You know full well it doesn't come with a physical battery but a magical perpetual motion machine. When it depletes to zero you have to take it back to the store and get a new one, because it's broken. That's what I did.

ah well, Apple is really going down the drain.
My IPAD1 hovers nicely above my bed so that I can read without having to hold this brick. I haven't tried to microwave it, but it only gets warm after being toasted. The screen is simply amazing and it does things when you touch it.

Being environmentally friendly and custumor-conscious, Apple has disabled the coffee-making function by default in the new iPad. Apple also opposes polygamy, so only Siri from the iPhone 4S can love you.
LTE only works in other solar systems and the Android Mist.

Return your iPad and exchange it for an iPad1, possibly 2. They also have no light bleeds from your favourite reading position. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Wow! So if it's too hot pick up, you'll never be able to drop it - which means protective cases are unnecessary. Yay!

See, this is why Apple design ROCKS! They think of everything!!!!
 
I've done everything you guys have suggested and I just cannot seem to find any yellow tint or light bleeds. I am taking my iPad into the store tomorrow for an exchange.
 
I would give it a couple days honestly. I've heard that the adhesive needs time to cure between the frame and the glass. Apple's engineers cleverly designed the new iPad to heat up about 10 degrees more than the iPad 2 to accelerate the curing process. It is an advanced manufacturing process they call Smart Bonding.

I think its very brave of you to admit on a public forum that you don't have a yellow tint or light bleed. I'm sure there are others like you and are living quietly secluded lives. Alone and ashamed. Hopefully you wil be an inspiration to others to open up a window and yell at the top of their lungs "My new ipad has no imperfections and if you don't like it then you can kiss my App."
 
My iPad only leaks light when submerged in 47° water for 2 minutes and 37 seconds precisely, then wipe it off with a 84% cotton towel that was made in Uganda.
 
This is one big joke.

Shame on apple for using a quad core graphics system, to power a 3.1 million pixel display, from a 42.5 watt hours battery and dissipating the heat generated by means of the shell.

'Like', could they not have just included a fan or two in the unit?
 
I understand it's a joke, when paying this much for a premium product, you expect it not to have any issues. In fact I expect anything I buy not to have issues with it, regardless of how premium it is or isn't.

You are absolutely wrong here. Without the complete failure by AAPL, outlined in detail by the OP and others, forums like Macrumors would not exist. So NO ONE wants a premium product here.

My iPad1 isn't perfect either. No smartcover, fingerprints on screen, much too heavy, not hot enough to replace the hot water bottle in bed, and not even FLASH!
