The iPad
So, that iPad is pretty neat, huh? It’s like an iPhone, but bigger. It’s like the perfect device to use when you’re walking from your laptop to your iPhone.
Okay, I don’t really understand what it’s for, but it’s from Apple so I’m guessing it’s pretty slick. I think I’ll get one because I don’t want to be left out if this is the next big thing. I’d hate it if everyone was all smiley and happy with their iPads and doing cool high tech stuff and they looked at me and were like, “Where’s your iPad?”
And I’m like, “I don’t have an iPad.”
And then they’d stare at me in horror and be like, “So why don’t you just kill yourself?”
I mean, the iPad could revolutionize the way we do… something. I may make fun of the iPad, but I also made fun of the internet and was like, “Information? What do I need that for?” Well, ends up the internet is starting to look like it’s kinda useful. I also made fun of the Segway, though, and that ended up being kinda prescient.
But the iPad could be the next big thing. We’ll one day say, “What did people do before the iPad? It’s hard to imagine!”
And another person will say, “They just sat around in circles smashing each other in the face with rocks. That’s how primitive they were.”
Ooh. I think I can read comic books on it. Neato!

They’ve used “a” and “o” so far; iPad, iPod. I wonder what devices the other vowels would offer.

The iPed, probably a bicycle with an internet connection.

And on that note, have I recommended Brian Clevinger & Scott Wegna’s Atomic Robo yet? It’s on Comixology so BUY IT NAO.
Here’s a teaser with Robo punching a dinosaur. Who happens to also be a mad scientist.

The hype-Pad is just an iPod Touch for people with impaired vision. Kinda like that giant calculator your grandma got at the dollar store.

Can’t use iPud…sounds too much like admitting you engage in a socially unacceptable activity in public.

I….DUD.
I slay me.

I will need a larger size one to assist with my poor vision. Perhaps that version could be called “The Max-iPad”.

Also I will need it to be extra absorbent in case I spill something on it.

Wait a while. There will be a spate of tablets coming out that are open platform with E V E R Y T H I N G available without Apple’s permission.

from an email I got today:
Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

Looks like I’m going to have to order shirts with extra big pockets on them to keep this thing in.

I wonder if anybody has plotted the rise in Apple popularity against the decline in scholastic achievement.
Thanks for clearing up all things Apple, Frank. Until today I thought an iMac was a McDonald’s breakfast item.

The iPad to replace the Diva Cup? http:// http://www.divacup.com/

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just wanted to know if you can use twitter with it. That’s all you care about.

The last Apple computer without a keyboard was a smash , too

Ipad sounds cool and all, but I still want the wrist computer that projects a hologram image and takes comand by voice. And I want that hologram image to look like Eurkel off of Family Matters. Seriously, Does Apple expect me to navigate the web by touching stuff. Why should I use my own hands like a fool?

ipood.

The legitimate complaint about the internet is not too much information, but too much communication. Just think, at least one person will read this besides me. That ain’t right.

Can it core a Apple?

When I was in college I learned that a pad was someplace that you go to smoke weed and drop acid… What gives?
