What are you talking about? Jobs always gives updates about other product lines at product specific events. Thats the first thing he does when he gets on stage.
 
Imagine if the iPad was a DOA! LOL

Or if his Powerbook was only running 10.4.11 and no-one else on the island had 10.5 or later to kick it out of recovery mode!
 
Wow. What kind of douchebags are giving this story a negative?

I swear....people are just so obnoxious and rude. I wonder what percentage of MR visitors are actually Apple haters who have no lives other than to troll Apple websites in jealousy and envy.

Now everybody is fighting in that island cause each person want to take the iPad "to the bushes."
 
I guess everybody needs an iPad. But I am sure he will enjoy it more than us.
We take so many things for granted. There are 4 Apple Stores in Miami, and hundreds of local and online retailers. It's so easy to buy anything here.
These people in, well Actually, the middle of nowhere, can't pick up the phone and order anything.
I wonder who provides internet service there? That would be a looooooong fiber optic cable... Probably Satellite.
:confused:
I was curious, and Wikipedia'd it. It's a satellite connection
 
Pitcairn is an island full of scumbags who think having sex with children (a lot of them related to each other) is normal.

If this guy's last name is Christian, he is without a doubt a close relative of Steve Christian, the mayor who was accused of raping girls on many different occasions.

The islanders tried to defend themselves by saying that it wasn't against the law on the island to have sex with young people because they refused colonial rule.

PURE SCUM

Because that island has some serious problems (child rape), and the people there have tried to get out of having to answer for it. There may be some good people there, but with such a low population, odds are low.
 
How do they even get food there? By boat or waterplane I suppose?

This is an amazing story! And how does he even go on the internet? By sattelite?

Okay, and it is a bit creepy; living hippystyle with nothing around...

Seriously?

Where does anyone get food? The sea, the land, farms, gardens.

It's an island, not the moon...

a quick google search informed me that Andrew is 25 and left as a baby and only came back 10ish years ago. So while the rapes are completely deplorable, he wasn't involved in any of it. And being related to a monster doesn't make you a monster.

That's an awful amount of vitriol for a community you didn't know existed a day ago.

And like someone else pointed out. How can you classify Andrew as scum just based on an assumption that he's related to Steve Christian?

Seriously. Save your energy for other injustices, like people who judge and accuse people they know nothing about.

+1. Utterly pointless article.

Its an article telling us about how in a far south island on this earth, apples products can still make their way to people. Who Cares if its page 1, 2 or 3. It isn't hurting you it being there, so just get the **** over it. I *****n hate people like you.

That looks like an cool island!
 
I just spent over an hour just studying up, reading Wikipedia and watching videos on Youtube of Pitcairn Island. Fascinating!

You owe it to yourself to read the Bounty Trilogy by Nordhoff and Hall. It's truly an amazing story, well written, and a tough book to put down. You should be able to pick up a cheap copy at a used book store if you have one in your area.

isn't this the same guy? (Andrew Randall Christian aka Randy Christian)
hopefully he's using his new iPad for more benign reasons that what he's known for...
 
2 GB or not 2 GB

Seriously? 2GB a month isn't that bad for an :apple: iPad. Sans downloading movies you can do plenty. It isn't much by US wired home standards, but AT&T and VZ wireless are selling only 5GB per month if you aren't grandfathered.


iPad is an internet browsing device (so does apple advertise it) so I see no point in buying one if you are limited to 2GB of internet per month.

well, maybe if you're a BIG apple fan, but still...
