What colour is the sky? Yes or no. ;]

Hey ... just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean no one is out to get you. :]

Its unfortunate that you generally dismiss such negative feedback as extreme, kneejerk, paranoid, religious zealotry rather than viewing it through the same sympathetic lens you ask of others.

In any case, I think that Nokia has clarified its position a lot since Ari's easily misinterpreted statements. I hope that this latest tempest in a blogosphere hasn't discouraged Nokia representatives from keeping an open, uncensored channel to the rest of the community. It is pretty easy for people on both sides of a debate to hide behind the relative anonymity of the Internet and say nasty things about each other. It all has to be taken with a huge grain of salt though and in the end, these things are said because people actually care about the tablet and its future. It is a lot better than being ignored (and Nokia will likely get more sales as a result of all this free publicity ... the truly paranoid might think this was all a big marketing scheme ;])
