Captain thought he could run on Apple Maps and an iPad

It is a while since we have had a story about an Apple fanboy who relied entirely on Apple Maps and ended up getting lost. But this guy was dumb enough to use his iPad to do his course navigation on his boat.

Not sure if the new iPad Pro will save their bacon

Those responsible for inflicting the iPad on the world are experiencing a rather large slice of karma, thanks mostly to their dependence on the fruity tax-dodging cargo cult.

An unholy trinity

Fruity tax-dodging cargo-cult Apple has decided that the reason that people are not buying its tablets is because they don’t have enough over-priced versions available.

Apple tops Samsung again

French authorities investigating the EgyptAir crash that killed 66 people have focused their attention on the Apple fanboy co-pilot and his iPad and iPhone 6S.

Bigger tablets are more popular with enterprises 

Apple looks set to launch a 10.5-inch iPad in 2017, because businesses and schools want them – apparently.

No one is buying them anyway

Fruity tax-dodging cargo cult Apple has not extended its “charge more for less” policy onto its iPads.

It does not matter how much you paid

It might have cost you an arm and a leg, but Apple does not expect its shiny toys to last longer than three to four years.

Lower CPU clock as well

It appears that the new Apple 9.7-inch iPad Pro is quite different from its 12.9-inch counterpart as it not only comes with 2GB of RAM, same as the new iPhone SE and iPad Air 2, but also has a lower CPU clock.

Update or die

Fruity cargo cult Apple is doing its best to force users of its old iPad 2 and original iPad to upgrade to something thinner and more expensive by bricking them if they upgrade to the latest iOS 9.3.

Other tablets dominate

Beancounters at IDC have been reading their tarot cards and reached the conclusion that the iPad is doomed to go the way of the dodo after being kicked to death by cheaper tablets.
