Turns out I'm a troll and I LIKE it.
(EDIT) - This story has nothing to do with what tab is best, it's about my reaction to a rude and condecending Future Shop sales rep. The fact it was about tabs is purely incidental. He was a and I pushed back. The conversation went on for 5 or 6 minutes so was too long to to post verbatim so I tried to include only the highlights. Clearly I could have done much better.
This is too good not to share, but I swear I didn't go looking for a fight, the other guy started it.
I was in Future Shop the other day and asked the FS guy (FSG) to get me a Playbook out of the locked display.
FSG: (edit) (In a very condecending tone) WHY would you want something so small? The iPad is SO much b etter.
(EDIT) Me: Well I've done my homework and the PB is the one I want.
(EDIT) Several exchanges where FSG tries to tell me NO, that's NOT what you want.
(EDIT) (Having had more than enough of this guy and deciding to push back where I know it will hurt) Me: Well it fits in my pocket and it has a HUGE screen.
FSG: (facpe etting red, jaw clenched). Are you kidding me? Its way smaller than my iPad!
Me: Dangling a $15 mini hdmi cable in front of him). When I get it home it has a 47" display - much bigger than your puny little 10".
FSG: (clearly getting angry)
Me: Tell ya what, let's put a PB and an ipad side by side and compare resolution. Let's go to ctv.ca/video and stream Greys Anatomy or something.... Oh wait, that's a Flash site, you can't play that.
Me: Okay, how about we go to Youtube and start streaming multiple videos in seperate windows and see which Tab chokes first?
Me: Dont even get me started on conectivity more than 30' from a wifi. Never mind, I'll buy one somewhere else. (Turned and walked out)
