just overly expensive accessoires for showing high status
Beliefs that actions are just for one purpose are never correct because such explanations are all just too simple, absolutist and overly generalizing, period.
Okay, my fault, let me rephrase the question so I can get an answer which is actually useful to me: Is the price for these devices justified? Are they so much more useful than other devices? How important is the aspect of showing high status to those who spend their money on an apple product?
I just got an iPad, which means that for the first time in my life it's convenient for me to read long documents from the internet. I've often looked at things and thought, oh, if I ever have some capability to read that, I should. However, I haven't made a list.
So. What documents in pdf form, or long websites, should I read now that I can? Any recommendations?
EDIT: Thanks for the advice. I'm particularly excited to read Godel, Escher, Bach. I've also downloaded the ePub of the Sequences, and I'm going to certainly look at Strategy of Conflict. Thank you very much for the links.
