weeee

You sound dreamy.
Sigh....

Have you seen the Zune HD? It's a handsome product. As an unabashed mac fan (in the past 10 years I've owned 8 ipods/iphones, a powerbook g4, a macbook pro, and a mac mini) I wouldn't denigrate or dismiss the zune product line so glibly. They've done an outstanding job with windows 7 and office 2010. And office 2011 for mac os looks promising. Save your judgement about zune until the ms mobile os 7 product line drops.

It's definitely a lot slower in Detroit. I got an iphone 4 over the
weekend and my uploads are much slower. I think this should be grounds to get out of a contract with AT&T. I may have signed a contract extension with unlimited data but I didn't sign up for a contract with artificially gimped data rates.

"With over 200,000 apps on the App Store, I have yet to run into a situation where I said, "I wish there was an app that does (x)" without being able to find one."

one simple thing i can do on android and can't do on iPhone:
an app that uses my location to set my phone to silent. I go to round at the hospital and my phone turns silent. I leave the hospital and my phone gets a ringer. that's one thing off the top off my head - i hardly had to think.

Seriously, if you can't think of anything the phone can't do then you're delusional. apple's closed system is crippling this hardware but you still stand there with your fingers in your ears yelling "la la la la la, i can't hear you, everything is perfect. la la la la la".

great. thanks.

outstanding!

that's the risk of stepping out of the kitchen for those women, I guess. It's a big and confusing world.

(it's a joke!)

God, I'm glad I'm in med school and I'm not younger. I would hate to have to learn this way - stop entertaining students and start teaching them.
This is why the chinese and the indians are kicking the crap out of our students. You better believe their teachers aren't wasting their time with techno-gimmicks and powerpoint presentations. Those kids are being taught knowledge: unforgiving, hard without fluff.
Let's get back to the basics of teaching get away from "making learning fun".
Oh, and no middle or elementary school student needs a phone.

Hi Ryan,
You might have noticed you don't have to pay to read the content on most sites on the internet. At the same time, there are costs associated with those sites: pay to the writers, hosting fees, etc.
Now, to cover these costs websites host advertisements. Advertisers will pay more as visitors to a website open more pages. The more pages you visit, the more unique advertisements you can see - you might even click on more advertisements if you see more of them.
Let me know if I'm going to fast for you, I'm trying to keep it slow.
Now, where does "the break" fit in? Well, By adding the break they can make sure you will "click" more often on their websites. They make more money when they get you to read "after the break".
Television advertisers have done this for years, you might recall. On the news they might tell you a lede to a story and then say something like, "See more... after the break," and then show you a series of advertisements. The advertisements keep the news free for you.
At a relatively fixed length of 30 seconds, those advertisements are spaced at regular intervals. Think of website ads as extensions of this paradigm...
Oh, I can't keep this up.

Of course, *I* don't think you're too stupid at all. No, not at all.

I would have settled for true 720p resolution in a 16:9 screen. I don't think that's unreasonable.
This iPad doesn't fulfill any of the goals that Jobs set out at the beginning of the presentation. It does nothing better than a netbook.
The iPad is a world of hurt.
