Decided to try again (iPad #7) - Week 14 build.

[ZipZap]

Fixed = mines are coal shafts. The "Mines" you described were banned at the geneva conventions.

Check yourself before critiquing the writing of others. A quick glance at a few of your prior posts tells a different story. You've failed the concept of both subordinating conjunction and pluperfects. I could list them, but I have a life. And, well, I'm not as lame as you.

Admittedly, society should thank you, for proofreading the internet can be a tedious and time consuming endeavor.

I must ask: Why? Do you derive some sort of gratification when you spot a clerical error, and thus, feel the need to attack the writer? Does putting them down make your pitiful life better? Are you just trying to help him? Are you just trying to clarify the messages for the readers? [I never would have understood it without your input.]

Naw, it's none of those... your inferiority complex compels you to correct his and other messages because you're either underemployed or unemployed and definitely a social retard.

While knowledge of formalistic, stylistic, and grammatical structures are important, not everyone has the resources to attend college or graduate school. So what is your justification for point out the flaw? You're somewhat implicitly calling him stupid. Should I point out your errors and illustrate your your stupidity? Nope. I'm not like that... I do not feel the need to put people down for superfluous reasons. (cool how I still got that in, huh?)

I really hope you're a 12 year old because if you're a grown man or woman.... oh jesus.

For me grammar is easy, but spelling, on the other hand, is not my forte. I'm a lawyer, which basically means I write for a living. I have dyslexia. So I hire liberal arts majors to proofread my briefs and motions. If you live in the Seattle area, look me up, I'll hire you on the spot: $9/hr. Better than what you're getting paid for proofreading this message board, right? If you're not interested, I'm sure you have the requisite qualifications for employment as a secretary.

Since I doubt I'll ever come back to this forum, all I really what to say is: you're a dick, and internet proofreaders are douchebags..... So I guess that makes you a dickity-douche.

Typical Lawyer rant.

I agree with Pure3d2 ... re-read your posts and don’t write in slang. If you're making a point and your spelling or grammar is wrong then your point is lost. If I have to stop and try and figure out what you’re saying, then your point is lost and you’ve wasted our time.

It’s not wrong to encourage proper writing and logical thought/writing processes. I get not everyone is educated the same....but I'd rather know if I write in an ignorant manner as I am sure others around me have noticed and not told me.

Ironic considering all of the issues with my iPads had to do with Samsung's screens.

I'm on my 8th iPad now, since the day after posting this thread. It's somewhat acceptable but still not too great. The left side of my screen is more yellow than the right, but I might just settle and keep it.

Who says its actually the screen that is responsible? It isn't for the light leakage. And for the tints, may as well be the diodes, adhesive or something left behind on the glass (like oil).

 

[MacAuditor]

Geesh lighten up. If you look at what I said, I come here because it's funny, which it is. Actually, it's hilarious. 12 times? I'm laughing right now!!!

why wouldn't I come here? It's better than the comedy channel.

But then......the joke's on me... it seems

Yes it is fun and entertaining. We need more threads like this in the forum. I support this, seriously, because the electronics built today including Apple are pathetic. There will be more cranky people. Expect this to happen.

 

[Mak47]

I've had multiple build weeks and it really doesn't matter what you get. There's no such thing as a perfect new iPad.

There's no such thing as perfection in consumer products.

Some will have defects, there's no way around it. Some users will find even the most minor flaw unacceptable.

The vast majority of people are not having these problems, myself included, so clearly these issues aren't a plague that affects all iPads.

If the issues you're seeing are bothersome under normal use, then exchange the iPad. If you can't get one that satisfies you, for whatever reason--coincidence or crazy--please just return it to the store, get your money back and do something else with it.

Millions of people are thrilled with their iPads. You are not, and a small group of others are not. There are remedies for that, namely returning or exchanging your unsatisfactory product.

It's really not a big deal. A consumer product doesn't satisfy your needs or your expectations, or has a true defect. It happens all the time. Avail yourself of the options to rectify the issue or move on.

 

[MacAuditor]

There's no such thing as perfection in consumer products.

It has gotten worse with electronics built today. The Apple ipad failure rate is at 96%. Most are defects.

If the issues you're seeing are bothersome under normal use, then exchange the iPad. If you can't get one that satisfies you, for whatever reason--coincidence or crazy--please just return it to the store, get your money back and do something else with it.

Save yourself money and time by not exchanging it for another one. If you already bought one, return it for a refund. Those that have not purchased the ipad 3 yet, don't buy it. They are built like crap. Failure rate is almost 100%.

Millions of people are thrilled with their iPads.

Those are average joe and are numb. That's why.

So not bitter then that the overwhelming majority of iPad owners are completely happy with their purchase? I'm happy with my iPad, I'm pretty picky and work in high end film and video post production which requires high end, calibrated HD monitors. I guess my expectations for a mass produced consumer product, such as the iPad, are realistic. Last time I checked we weren't using the iPad it to do the vfx on Ridley Scott's Prometheus.

By the way, this in no way discredits those who, by the law of averages, do have faulty units - it happens, it always has happened and always will happen. By the same token, 10, 13, 15 18, returns does defy any law of averages.

Then that's very low standard for a person working in video production. If I was the manager of the company I would lay you off fast. I wouldn't need a number person to be responsible for managing film and video production.

Hmmmmmm, me thinks I'll refrain from feeding this troll. I'm also guessing English is not your first language reading through some of your posts?
Goodbye and good luck.

 

[Carouser]

The Apple ipad failure rate is at 96%. . . Failure rate is almost 100%.

Yes, millions of failed devices, there's about three people in the world who have a functioning unit. Well done.

Those are average joe and are numb. That's why.

I wonder why so many posters go on with the nonsense about iSheeple and 'the masses' etc.

I used to think that it was people who hated Apple products, or resented successful/well-made/higher-priced products, and thus bought competitors' devices.

But now those people are compelled to buy Apple products anyway, because the value proposition is so great, and the competing products are so bad.

Now how to deal with the cognitive dissonance, now that said user has become an iSheeple themselves? eek Just draw a line between 'the masses who are numb and buy Apple because they are stupid' and the refined users. The masses can only enjoy their products, but the 'refined user' demonstrates their critical taste and high standards by buying Apple products and then finding a fault to fixate upon.

I was playing around with the other guy since he picked on my Engrish.

I am not the troll. You on the other hand are numb. Since you don't see the problems with your screen, or hiding them.

 

[Peace]

For the sake of mankind just give up man. The iPad's not for you.

 

[MacAuditor]

Yes, millions of failed devices, there's about three people in the world who have a functioning unit.

It's more than three people. Do your math.

Well done.

Of course my posts are good. I post for good reasons. I don't fool around.


I think you got upset the fact I called out numb.... it's not my fault. You insisted to be numb hence you can't see the problem or don't even know how to interpret as problem.... Average Joe are, really, numb. They don't know what is the problem and are okay with the device as long as they can see what they want to see in the content.

 

[Carouser]

It's more than three people. Do your math.

I did some math, still don't see how there's a 96%-100% failure rate. But hey, like you said, they're 'built like crap' and 'most are defects'. I think you've confused the iPad with your posts about the iPad.

 

[spcdust]

Okay, so we have established that you're unhappy about your iPad, this is evident by your multiple posts over several threads basically reiterating this point. It is also evident that the iPad screen does not meet with your sophisticated and exacting standards so the question is.......what to do? At the end of the day it's just a consumer product so my advice is walk away, this iPad is not for you and as it's not something your whole life and well being depends on give it a miss. Get the refund and just walk away.

You say I am numb, therefore my eyes are obviously numb to this issue which, according to you, effects all iPad3's. I'll be sure to tell my clients who pay a good hourly rate for these "numb eyes". Maybe we should do a job swap and you can do high end vfx and compositing on the next blockbuster movie whilst I consistently insult posters, who happen to disagree with you, on this forum.

 

[spcdust]

It's either yours really doesn't have the problem with the display or pretending you have no problems. I said this like over 10 times now that just because you don't have problems with your display doesn't mean others will not get the same problem. You are very ignorant. And shocking considering you work in video production.

MyiPad, and I suspect many others, doesn't have a problem and why would I pretend it didn't if it did - you make no sense.

I'm not ignorant as I empathise with those who have genuine problems, it does happen.

By all means complain constructively but really, do you have to reiterate the same point in such a scattergun and overly general manner all over the forum?

Lastly, please refrain from insulting anyone who disagrees with you, there is a code of conduct one should adhere to on these forums and just name calling is all rather unbecoming and petulant.

Agreed,

And to attack you personally when he does not even know you is pretty lame and uncalled for. I think the worst kind of insult is someone attacking another persons professional acumen, I was kinda shocked that it went to that level.

It also does not surprise me that the scum element on this website have low command of the English language. Schooling was probably not a priority....

 

[Rogifan]

mine is perfect. i got it day 1. looking forward to your #8 thread

Mine is perfect too. I guess we're just special or something.

----------

Please stop spamming. Because you are photographer you know how to check your iPad for errors? Wrong.

Please stop spamming that the ipad has a 96-100% failure rate. It's complete BS.

 

[MacAuditor]

I don't care what number you say its pure BS.

It may not be entirely accurate, but my predictions are most often come true... Based on my own experience with ipad, others' ipads, and further investigations, it's basically all of them are bad. Not even one single one out there...

Should these be called defects? or just lower standard quality devices. Either way, brings customers unhappy. Like the other guy said, Apple needs to step up their build quality standard.... Apple devices are turning into walmart grade electronics.

I have a brilliant idea for you. Why don't you take photos of your own ipad in both dim and light conditions? Take pics for:

- LED light leakage from the bezel
- Backlight bleed / flashlights near the sides
- Tints and uneven tints
- Uneven whites
- Close shot to inspect for failed pixels, specks of dusts, etc.

I will be critiquing.

i'd say there's 1 very acceptable, almost perfect unit in about 30 of them (personal experience).

this. so far people with "perfect" ipads provided 0 evidence.

Hmmmmmmm, because I have no inclination to waste my time trying to prove to yourself that my iPad has a perfectly good screen. Whilst I'm sure you'd offer an objective opinion I'm amazed that people even feel that they can offer technical evaluations based on digital photo's taken in dubious lighting conditions and angles with the white balance all over the shop.

Every time Apple release a product we have people who cannot accept that the vast majority of users have perfectly good screens - I will reiterate, there are bound to be some bad screens out there but declaring that an entire product range is 100% flawed is just ridiculous. Anyone who dares declare that their screen is good is then called upon by these militant posters to submit photos to prove this so that they can be analysed by these self declared guardians and protectors of screen quality. I think the saying "life is to short" applies here.

I mean, what gives, you've returned your iPad for a refund, you've said your piece but you still feel compelled to actively post on an iPad forum and now offer your services to analyse photos of iPad screens. I actually feel I'm wasting a small part of my life typing this post, what's your excuse

this. so far people with "perfect" ipads provided 0 evidence.

If my device works as expected, no issues why do I have to provide anyone evidence of it? I just get on using my device.

 

[Vanarak19]

Go buy something else good lord. Mine is perfect. #1. Bought online day of release.

 

[vjacques]

In the past, after several unacceptable quality MacBook pros apple has shifted me to their senior customer support team. These people are fantastic and actually have access to higher quality units reserved for internal use. I kid you not. They can ship you a product from a senior engineer tested product line. Apple has such services in place to cater to the discerning/demanding customers. Use it. Apple will not let you down if you are insistent

well, what do you know. apple contacted me yesterday offering the same type of service and a "higher quality", "engineer tested" ipad, although the wait is about 2 weeks or more. i was also told that they would try to examine all my exchanged ipads taking into account the issues that i mentioned. we'll see i guess.
