I'm a gadget guy so I set out to find actual uses for the thing. I tried the same thing for a Microsoft Surface RT tablet that I also won, but luckily I got a gift receipt so I could return it for a store credit. A canon 70D DSLR was the happy outcome there. The iPad is handy for remotely logging into servers via SSH, for troubleshooting networks, for reading the news (FlipBoard spanks Google News), for controlling my Hue Lights, home theater receiver-amp, satellite receiver/PVR, and Apple TV; reading forums and whatnot on the InterTubes, streaming music to my bluetooth room-filling speakers, and most importantly, my mom has an iPad. She's in her mid 70's with reduced mobility, and my dad is 88 and in declining health. I call them on the iPad's video chat app, FaceTime, 4 nights a week: 3 on the days that my dad has dialysis and once on the weekend. Dialysis can kick the shit out of my dad, and with the FaceTime chats, I can tell at a glance at my mom how dad's dialysis went, and the conversations take my mom's mind off of her troubles. I can show her our garden, the work done on the house, the cats and dogs (which she loves), and just chat while I prepare supper. She wishes all of her sisters and friends had iPads. She prefers the video chats to the telephone and says it's almost like visiting. I can do almost all of the above with my Google Nexus 7 tablet, but the ease of connecting with my parents (and my wife who lives in all-Apple ecosystem of iPhone, iPad, and iMac) means that the iPad does have its uses. I'm no Apple fanboi - my servers all run Linux plus one BSD machine, my main rig is a built-by-me Windows 8.1 powerhouse, and I have a Lenovo laptop converted into a Hackintosh so I'm familiar with the environment should I need to troubleshoot my wife's system (no need yet 17 months in).

I agree they are great and have a lot of uses. I just hate the apple cult that ha been crated around them Astronomer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
