who does this does?

I noticed this at Wimbledon. I can see posters being put up reminding people to be considerate of others, like there is on trains with phones & stereos. Because some people still need to be told how to behave :rolleyes: :D .

I fear for some of these people's safety. It used to be that ipod owners would flirt with any thieves nearby by wearing white earbuds. It's saying: "I care not for sound quality because someone is going to rob me in a minute!"

Now they have upped the ante by holding the whole unit aloft! "Look at me! Look at me! I'm an idiot & I'm made of money!"

It's like an auction without money changing hands :D.

DC has quite a problem with phones being stolen on the Metro system, especially as doors are opening/closing, thieves can snatch em in no time. I see lots of iPads on the bus and train and I hope those people know to hold em tight.
That said, this is pretty ridiculous. I once saw someone in public using the camera of their Mac Air(!) taking pictures. :eek:
Also, did anyone notice the guy at football practice's reflection looks eerily like Steve Jobs?

Very funny yes, but I do find it quite awkward when people do this in public places. I'm sure most of these folks have iPhones, can't they just use them for these purposes & transfer the stuff later to their iPads ?

I sometimes use an 8 x 10 view camera. Talk about inconvenient . . . even I find the iPad photographers a tad goofy.

I LOVE camping it is like a special talent I was born with!!

And it is really awesome to have an ipad / tablet with you to keep you happy especially on those loooong time periods when waitin for unfortunate well mannered players to pass by and then
