Tried out that new Rupert Murdorch newspaper for iPad The Daily, but I think the internet ruined me too much to enjoy anything that mimics a regular newspaper. I mean, you turn through a bunches of big page full of text trying to find something that interests you. It’s inefficient. I like a bunch of links with short blurbs so I can quickly scan them and find stories I find interesting. And I don’t like it all separated into sections — like you read all the hard news before you get to the lighter stuff. I’d rather it all be mixed together so I can easier alternate between the type of story I’m reading.
I don’t know; I was just expecting something completely different than the old news format. It seems like it would appeal to people who still like newspapers and news magazines and got an iPad. Also the daily Sudoku and crossword puzzles are nice. Still, the format just doesn’t appeal to my short atten– Ooh! That squirrel outside is fat. I wonder if we also have a squirrel obesity epidemic?
I would guess that there wouldn’t be a whole lot of overlap between the people who like newspapers and the people who own iPads.
mmmm…fat squirrel…
My squirrels are fat too! It’s because they have completely out smarted my squirrel proof bird feeders. They simply jump up and poor the food from the holes into their mouths until they are so full they lay on the ground and can’t move for like an hour! Then they take a giant squirrel Obama and they are good to go…
I agree with DamnCat. Where’s my falcon and/or my gun?
Seems like the perfect useless retro hipster ap. Apple users like that sort of thing.
They would however be using it Ironically.
Jimmy, I suppose they are going take an Obama or they are going to have to Barrack it up on the lawn.
My squirrels are so fat they resemble furry dodge balls with tails.
Fat squirrels must be proof of man made global warming.
How many kids with ADD does it take to change a lightbulb?
Lets go ride bikes!!!!
It wasn’t one of those Mutant Russian Black Squirrels was it? Ooh, look, Shiny…!
Yea and sometimes the squirrels get a bad case of The Barney Frank’s! It only lasts a couple of days but I can tell because they are dragging their butts across the lawn!
Newspapers, magazines. Blegh. If you cant play Breakout on your iPad what’s it good for? A coaster?
When potty training a dog, if you hit him with “The Daily” he’ll learn pretty quick. Getting smacked on the nose with a laptop will always get your attention.
I don’t trust squirrel’s or other hippies.
squirrel’s are a breed of irratic hippie, right?
“squirrel proof bird feeders”?
Right. I have tried everything. I even moved the bird feeder poles in to the middle of my little desert were trees dare not grow. The little buggers still figure out a way.
As for obesity in squirrels, I call hogwash. Anything that can spin around and around on the squirrel prof rings is not skinny.
Don’t own an I-Pad so can’t read the Daily. Feel this is discrimination, and point out that minorities are less likely to own an I-Pad then non-minorities, a fact that is no less true, just because I pulled it out of my…
When was the last time you say a real live flying squirrel? Never? Maybe once? Never?
There’s a nest of the cuddly varmints in my in-law’s shed.
Twelve of them.
Twelve!
Flying squirrels are nocturnal. That’s why you don’t see them much. But at night the glow of their Ipad screens give them away.
