News, but not the serious kind
iPad? Damn, was that THIS weekend?

Blog Guy, you’ve been strangely silent on the release of the iPad. It’s all any of the other bloggers are writing about, and especially with your technical following…
Yeah, sorry, I just heard about it. I wish somebody had told me it was being released this weekend. But when I saw it in the newspaper yesterday, my team and I bought one and put it through its paces.
Not to criticize, Blog Guy, but what else is there to say about the iPad at this point?
Plenty. My cat, Jackson, found the navigation confusing.
My assistant, Lamar, complained that he “couldn’t find the way to flip up the top.” So he tested it for durability, using a sledgehammer and an anvil to take it apart into 246 pieces.
We then….
Hold on, Blog Guy. You’re a complete idiot. First, the iPad doesn’t have a mouse, so I don’t know what the hell your cat is doing there. And secondly, Lamar is a Luddite imbecile. There’s nothing to flip up.
So once again, you have wasted our time and shed no new light on a topic of great interest to many of your readers. What do you have to say?
Um, do you know anybody who can help me put this thing back together so I can return it to the Apple store for a refund? It’s almost time for Jackson’s dinner, and I’m writing this blog in longhand.

iPad? iBored.
Hey! I think you got a picture of me there smashing random Apple products! (It’s my favorite hobby)
I dont know why people are so interested in iPad.
John at Travertine
ifly, isee.
Hilarious Bob…That’s one of your better pieces in a while. Nice.
@Ifly: I’m from IT crowd, so I liked the iPad, but I guess ladies would love it, just check out the link

@fwd079, iThink that despite how much the iPad is being ridiculed, it’s still going to be very popular. iDunno about getting many chicks with it though.
The iPad vs Stone was pretty funny.
iWon’t be getting an iPad cause iAm not really that tech savy (my cell doesn’t even have web access!) and cause more importantly, iBroke.
To get “chicks,” you neeed the iFeel.
So this is a crossover between a smart phone and a laptop, eh? It’s more like the crossover from more “stuff” to other “stuff”. Show me an iPad made totally from recyled Macbooks or other discarded e-waste and I’ll show you some mild % of interest.
Hey technophobes!! Get over this perceived obselecense that Apple has you hypnotized with.
Thanks unca and ifly, cool way to show i in many ways
Aye aye aye… Jonesy… are you iPreachy? Then iWill have to zap you…
Dr. D. there will probably be an app for that also at some point.
You know, my wife often has her tongue poking out when using the computer as well.
How does the screen not get scratched to bits ?!
@Nosmo…umm…why?
@CrowGirl… iAm sure Apple has that issues covered by charging a user $50 for a thin piece of plastic they call a “screen protector” that employs a sticky undercoating that adheres so vigorously to the screen that any attempt to remove it results in a very costly screen replacement.
