If you're selfish and have a lot of money, join your peers and purchase an iPad! A story by Wired showed that iPad owners are far less altruistic than non-owners and critics of the iPad are independent geeks rather than selfish elites. The story reports that the iPad appeals mainly to self-centered workaholics and tend to not be kind or help others. A suspected reason is that the iPad is expensive and appears to not fill any need.
My only impression of the article is: If someone's got $500 to spend on something useless, if they spend it on themselves instead of using some to help others-- isn't it obvious that they're probably not the most altruistic person around? I'm glad I haven't got an iPad...
