It's nospam who is seeing my comment as an attack directed at Apple. nope. the speed of your wifi link has nothing to do with apple. the problem is a misconfigured network and/or obsolete networking gear. |

I can't answer for the hardware you use. the hardware is irrelevant. displaying search results is not cpu intensive. But maybe you only do simple searches. the complexity or simplicity of a search is also irrelevant. Yep. You only ask simple questions. nope. as usual, you blame everything but yourself for not knowing how to do something. Who said I couldn't do it? I said "It's clumsy and slow". what makes it clumsy and slow is how *you* choose to do it and other things. that's *your* doing, not a flaw in the ipad. It's slow because it relies on a wifi link. My desktop is many times faster. nonsense. your isp is the limiting factor, not the network. That's not my experience. then your experience is very limited. you would need a 2 gigabit isp plan *and* a 10gig enet card in your desktop *and* saturate the network (which a search won't do) for there to be a difference. Right now my download speed via the iPad is 23 Mbps.. From my desktop it is 105.3 Mbps. then there's a problem with your network hardware and/or its configuration. ipads are capable of gigabit speeds, which would be nearly 10x *faster* than your reported desktop speeds. don't blame the ipad for a ****ty network. That's more than two whole stops difference. download speed is not measures in stops. I have been told on very good assurance that you can measure anything in stops, or even EVs, as long as the square root of two is involved. It doesn't have to have anything to do with lenses. you were told wrong. how the hell did you even come up with that idiocy anyway? that's not even remotely close to what was discussed in the ev thread. Upload speeds are about 25% of the upload speeds. they should be the same. In my case they are throttled. bull****. there is *no* throttling on the ipad. the reason you are getting 23 mbps on the ipad versus 105.3 mbps on the desktop is because your network has very serious problems, and what's worse is you have no interest in fixing anything. your isp might be asymmetric, but that has nothing to do with the ipad. But it is a factor in why I don't like using it for applications such as Google. nonsense, and it's already been established that the google application is garbage. do not use. as i said, searching on an ipad is as fast or faster than on a laptop or desktop. Google searching is not done on the ipad. then it can't be clumsy and slow. do try to keep your story straight. Please don't try to be stupid. take your own advice. you are having a world of problems doing the simplest of tasks, a google search, and blaming everything other than yourself. There is no question of blame. I am merely comparing experiences. don't assume your experiences is what others experience. the question is why aren't you interested in fixing the problems? The iPad is just the front end of a long and complicated process. nonsense. a search is a very simple and straightforward process. Hooking up with Google is tedious and involves multiple backwards and forward communications. nonsense. complete utter nonsense. seriously, wtf? Some of the problems may be due to the iPad. none are Others are due to the Google application for the iPad. don't use it. In your usual style you don't suggest any alternative. wrong. i suggested exactly how to improve upon it. in your usual style, you ignore what people write. In the meantime there is all the stuff that Google sends backwards and forwards to suppot it's interface. what interface? google's main page is very, very simple, and the 'stuff' sent will be the same to any computer, actually *less* on mobile. You know very well what I am talking about. You are very close to being treated as just another troll. i know that you're trying to avoid admitting the problem is yourself. google's 'interface' is a very basic web page. it's remained that way intentionally, so that searches can easily be done. Simple searches can be done very easily - once you get it loaded. i.e., no different than a desktop computer. --- snip --- I'm fed up with this. as you should be, because you've once again been shown to be wrong and instead of admitting it and learning something, you argue. Where you are concerned there is no way that any Apple experience can be improved. Anyone who criticizes any service on an Apple device is criticizing Apple (and only Apple). nope. this has absolutely nothing to do with apple, other than you happen to be using an ipad. I expect my criticism will apply equally well to an Android tablet but that idea is utterly beyond you. it would, because the problem is not apple. it's you. I am criticizing Apple and only Apple. except that apple isn't at fault. what *you* are doing is the problem. You are a bigot. ad hominem. |

If so, are you sure it is switching over to wifi at home? I ask this only because that was the issue my sister had. |

It doesn't have to have anything to do with lenses. you were told wrong. how the hell did you even come up with that idiocy anyway? that's not even remotely close to what was discussed in the ev thread. Just another small jump, following your directional lead. Upload speeds are about 25% of the upload speeds. they should be the same. In my case they are throttled. bull****. there is *no* throttling on the ipad. You bloody idiot! Who said anything about the iPad doing the throttling? It's done by the ISP. That, and the iPad is also throttled by the WiFi. the reason you are getting 23 mbps on the ipad versus 105.3 mbps on the desktop is because your network has very serious problems, and what's worse is you have no interest in fixing anything. It's amazing what you know about me. your isp might be asymmetric, but that has nothing to do with the ipad. See - you already knew the reason. But it is a factor in why I don't like using it for applications such as Google. nonsense, and it's already been established that the google application is garbage. do not use. Then how else do I search Google/ as i said, searching on an ipad is as fast or faster than on a laptop or desktop.

Please don't try to be stupid. take your own advice. you are having a world of problems doing the simplest of tasks, a google search, and blaming everything other than yourself. There is no question of blame. I am merely comparing experiences. don't assume your experiences is what others experience. Why not? You assumed that that is what I said. the question is why aren't you interested in fixing the problems? Because by going upstairs I can get a keyboard, a mouse and two 25" screens, all connected via a powerful desktop via a T1000 connection to highspeed fibre. You are bonkers if you think that an iPad on wifi can beat that. The iPad is just the front end of a long and complicated process. nonsense. a search is a very simple and straightforward process. Hooking up with Google is tedious and involves multiple backwards and forward communications. nonsense. complete utter nonsense. seriously, wtf?

But the thought that there might be applications where I ranked any Apple device second seems to have enraged you. not at all. what i take issue with is that you're blaming the device when it's not the device at all. The device contains the user interface at the end of a long pipe line. It isn't connected by ethernet to a highspeed fibre but relies on wifi. It has a small screen so can't easily run more than one graphic page at a time. It has no physical keyboard but relies on the simulation of one via a touch screen. It has no mouse and requires various gestures on the screen, both singly and in combination, to achieve would would be done by a mouse on a desktop. For these various reaons it does not use the same front-end applications as a desk top. For many applicatoins I find the experience of using an iPad (or any other tablet) to slower, clumsier and less pleasant than doing them on a desk top. in this case, it happens to be an ipad, but my reaction would be the same if it was an android device. you are blaming everything other than yourself for your own inability to do something, and worse, refusing to learn how to improve it. You really are an idiot. and the slowness you're experiencing has been shown to be a networking issue, entirely unrelated to apple.

Try to carry out that search to enable you to better understand why I prefer a desk top. Yours is a stupid argument. I'm leaving it there. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
