After reading the article, I’m dubious. It basically does a really comprehensive survey, and draws value judgements out of them. How on earth are they determining this stuff? I’m always a bit dubious of polls like this, especially when the pit the “selfish” against the “independent”.

Amusing. I probably share more characteristics with the “selfish elites” as described in this article, but I definitely hew more closely to the attitudes of the “independent geeks”. It might be a while, but if I do go for a tablet, it will probably be based on an Android tablet.

I will most likely rant about this. But I need to read it first. But the headline and first few sentences have this iPad owner’s blood up already.
