Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Remember what it was like living in a world without an Apple tablet? It seems like such a long time ago, back before everything was different.

Frantic Steve Jobs Stays Up All Night Designing Apple Tablet
CUPERTINO, CA—Claiming that he completely forgot about the much-hyped electronic device until the last minute, a frantic Steve Jobs reportedly stayed up all night Tuesday in a desperate effort to design Apple's new tablet computer. "Come on, Steve, just think—think, dammit—you're running out of time," the exhausted CEO said as he glued nine separate iPhones to the back of a plastic cafeteria tray. "Okay, yeah, this will work. This will definitely work. Just need to write 'tablet' on this little strip of masking tape here and I'm golden. Oh, come on, you piece of shit! Just stick already!" Middle-of-the-night sources reported that Jobs then began work on double-spacing his Keynote presentation and increasing the font size to make it appear longer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh.

It makes me think of 'feminine hygiene products'.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What I want to know -- and am too lazy to go watch for myself -- is how much the little bugger is going to cost me?

Trust my rage
Yeah, iPad seems clunky and also make me think of feminine hygiene. But it does look cool. Although, right now I'm sitting on my couch with the laptop balanced typing away. I think that would be hard to do on an iPad.
