Alex Payne — On the iPad

The thing that bothers me most about the iPad is this: if I had an iPad rather than a real computer as a kid, I’d never be a programmer today.

This bothers me too. And it scares me.

In the past, I'd justify getting a macbook pro because even though Apple is closed you're still able to write software that is open on top. That was a mistake. Never an Apple product for me again.
