McGraw-Hill scoops Apple on tablet announcement.
(Not that he's saying anything we didn't already know, but these are EXACTLY the details our Apple rep asked us not to reveal in advance...oops...)
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I dropped Sprint as a carrier two years ago. They just sent me a bill.
For -$18.54.
With the helpful note that this amount will be credited to my next bill.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it still only Tmobile and AT&T that use SIM cards?

There are a bunch of regional providers, but Tmobile and AT&T are the only nationwide GSM networks.

Well, that just dampened my Droid enthusiasm. Back to T Mobile.
Thanks.

Our wings are not tired
What makes me kinda giggle is everyone making a big deal about it running a version of the iPhone OS. Um, the iPhone OS is a version of OS X. Apple made a big deal about this when they released the iPhone. So the tablet will run some version of an OS that is based on the main OS that Apple makes. Well, um, duh.

ZOMG!!!1!!11111!!ELEVENTY!!!!1!1111
I think the bigger deal is that there's going to be a new iPhone OS version released (and it's nice to know, as a content provider, that current iPhone apps will run on the sooper seekrit new device), but yeah. APPLE IS RELEASING A PRODUCT THAT RUNS THEIR OPERATING SYSTEM! STOP THE PRESSES!!!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I want Steve Jobs to step out ala Paul Reubens at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards.
