Apple's iPad

[Kuciwalker]

If we accept your simplistic definition, the launch of the iPad is obviously "newsworthy". I prefer to be less pedantic.

Oh, no, I'm using the normal sense of the word. My preferred counterexample would be 9/11.

You take things literally far too often.

[MRT144]

You take things literally far too often.

Aspergers?

[Kuciwalker]

I think it's only Asperger's if the act itself compels you. On 'poly, I mostly just like pissing Asher off.

[Asher]

It's very easy to piss me off, but it always revolves around stupidity. Not sure why that would be a goal of yours.

[Drake Tungsten]

Maybe he likes angry sex?

[Asher]

Who doesn't?

[Drake Tungsten]

Guys like Kuci, generally.

[Asher]

I'm not convinced he likes teh sex at all. Too bookwormy.

[Drake Tungsten]

I think he likes it in theory, but the actual act would push him to the verge of a panic attack.

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, laptops on planes are a pain though. I don't see how this rectifies it as I have to hold the ****er the entire time.

Try and get the exit row, then you do have some space, unless the f**ker in front of you decides to put the seat back. Besides the business class on those short haul flights doesn't give you any more room anyway (at least not in Europe), just more fancy food. The long haul business class is more worth it though, far more space...

[Wiglaf]

If given an iPad, I'm sure I'd use it sometimes. I'm just not going to spend hundreds of dollars to get something that doesn't let me do something I can't already do.

That's the main failing in the iPad. All of the other devices that became popular did so because they made something practical that was not before. The iPod put an unprecedented number of songs in your pocket in a convenient way, the iPhone was the first REAL smartphone for non-business people.

The iPad is...?

You lunatic.. It lets you curl up on the couch to read your favorite sites and newspapers and blogs. Laptops are unweildy. Unweildey. Unweeldy? I got three red under lines so those are probably not spelled right. :They are hard to control.

[giblets]

unwieldly gets a red line too

[Drake Tungsten]

Unwieldy, you *****.

They are both valid.
