I am amazed to read many posts about the iPad launch today. Before today people used to complain that they had to wait hours in line to get an iPad. They cursed Apple for not having enough iPad. Now on the launch yesterday Apple made pre order available and had tons of iPads shipped to stores so people would have enough to buy. Well guess what? Now people are saying Apple is not selling the iPad Airs like hot cakes because they see "too many" available in the stores. Are you kidding me?:confused:

Damned if you do.
Damned if you don't.

Unpleasant people are, at times, the most vocal- especially when they see others around them having fun- finding joy, and loving their lives.
 
Psychiatrists would make an absolute mint amount of money if they tapped into this forum.
 
Nobody is "complaining" about lack of sales. That's an observation.

However, you are complaining about people complaining. Is that any better?

At least many of those complaining are about their expensive new products not living up to expectations, or iOS 7 ruining aspects of their expensive device.
 
You are wrong. I read many posts of people complaining that the new iPad is not what they expected because it is too expensive or does not fly by itself or does not prepare a meal when they get home.... and "BTW Apple is not selling many of these because I see piles of iPad on the stores". Well, in m opinion people are assuming they are not selling because for the first time Apple has enough inventory.

Again, people are pointing out (whether false or not) iPad stock and drawing whatever conclusions. It's not a complaint, it's just an observation and a deduction (which may be untrue, I don't care).

Yes, like you say, others are complaining about disappointments with Apple products, on an apple news forum.

The irony is this post complains only about people complaining. Am I explaining it better?

Not everybody feels the same way about everything, and not everybody will agree. Of course there are always going to be people who aren't happy. The people who complained that there weren't enough iPads probably aren't the same people complaining that there are too many iPads today. I did see a thread saying that this is the worst iPad launch because they haven't sold out yet. I wouldn't say that's a complaint. It's more of an observation and a bad conclusion.
 
I saw the iPads selling like hotcakes. Tim Cook made sure there was ample supply to go around.
 
Supply is meeting demand in most cases. Kudos to Apple. So, "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood". Time for the complainers to pick up their packages from Columbia and start feeling better about their day.

No offense to Columbia intended!

Amen man. Even I must admit I complained about my personal pickup experience. I think your bound to hear a lot of opinion on a launch day. I don't care if my Apple Store is loaded with them, I love my Air.

You're aware that fictionalizing peoples actual complaints makes you even worse than the complainers that you're trying to prove yourself to be superior over?

At least these "complainers" are at least talking tech on a tech blog while you're only talking about yourself.
