- Meet this latest thing you will own! It is called the iPad, and has literally no function other than making iPod Shuffles look useful by contrast. It would be awesome if it came in white, though! [Washington Post]
- The iPad is also very misogynist for reminding everyone on Twitter that women get their periods. [CNN]

I’m gonna pop the cherry on this one and state my unequivocal support for pulling Haitian teens out of rubble.
Great news indeed! The teenager was pulled out of the rubble just in time to see the iPad release. How lucky can you get?
The Haiti story. Heartwarming, and for about minute I forgot she was…nevermind.
“For the record, Obama is totally into jobs now, not health care.”
Maybe the thought is that if we all have jobs, we’ll all get health care through our employers.
An iPad for the fellows could be an iED.
Headline on CNN: “Impact of Obama speech: Did it deliver?” It’s my guess that Barry’s speech actually created no jobs. Speeches don’t actually deliver.
Way to go Apple Marketing geniuzes. I’m eagerly going to wait for the next product, iDouche.
And, oh, sure, we should go ahead and allow gays to die for America. Maybe someday we can think about letting them *live* in it. Like other people.
[re=503285]TGY[/re]: One step at a time. For starters, I think we’ve made tremendous progress in this country when it comes to finding people who are glad to allow gays to die. We’ll get there!
If teh gheyz would just pray to jeebus for help he would cure them of their affliction and then they could serve in the military with no problem.
The iPad should be very useful – as a high-profile failure to bring up to the annoying Apple cultists who love to give unsolicited “advice” to everyone they meet to replace their PCs with a Mac.

Hey! Steven Jobs commands me to kill… er, as an Apple Cultist… kill KILL! KILL!! um, I’m usually wearing my Cult Robes only when… KILL! KILL!!!! PC users moan and bitch about their PCs which is often. KILL! KILL! KILLLLLL!!!! I must OBEY STEVE JOBS!! KILL!!!
iTamp? (But then Apple would get sued anytime someone got all iToxic.)
Wow. Teh Wonket has as many junior-high boy-type followers as CNN thinks it has. Marketing opps! How’d the Snorg Tee account slip away?
No, no, they just announced their latest model: The Ford Prophet.
If your girlfriend is on her iPad, you might want to keep your dongle away.
If you decide to purchase an iPad, then you will find my new pre lubed plastic iApplicator a useful iAccessory . Call 1 888 555 iScam to get yours today. iOperators are standing by, be one of the first 100 callers and get a second used iPad for just $249.00, available in streaked red, brown and black only.
The Ipad introduction was so eloquent, I forgot it was black.
[re=503361]doxastic[/re]: You, my friend, are awesome.
How long before Mr. Dai is forced to create a parody of Steve Jobs presentation of the iPad? The iPenis? iNocturnalEmissions?
Update with an iPatch. Didn’t see that coming…
Heh. You guys are all haters. Personally, I want an iPad.
Not gonna buy one, however. I’m gonna get one free in a couple of years when I order my next iMac or laptop from the Apple store. That’s how I ended up owning three iPods. I can’t believe that so many folks say these Apple products are “Too Expensive.” Sure, they are, if you’re one of the geeks that have to have them just as they come out the door.
FTFA: “Andy Ihnatko, a tech columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times, said Apple could call its new gadget a ‘mangled baby duck’ and people would still buy it”
Kudos to Mr. Ihnatko for refering to a classic SNL bit…back when SNL was still funny. Also, why do I associate Ihnatko with the ancient days of Usenet?
[re=503290]ManchuCandidate[/re]: [re=503289]JMP[/re]: Like all Apple products, the iPad is good for kids, people who steal music, and those too lazy to learn to use a keyboard. Cute, though! Why’d Stevie leave out the phone piece? Wouldn’t AT&T let him put it in there?
Will the large screen model be
the max ipad?
