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

iPad-sized displays: Christmas 2013

OH NOES!

I've heard rumors the iPad 3 will come out this fall.

Also, I'll probably buy a new MacBook Pro as soon as it has a retina display. My current one is almost two years old. Or maybe I'll buy one next year, as the new ones are so much faster with the Sandy Bridge processor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've heard rumors the iPad 3 will come out this fall.

Oh hell no. They won't do a 6-month cycle -- the iPad 2 will still be in full swing for school year + holidays at that point, and anyway the 1-year refresh is very very established for all of their device product lines by now. (But I do continue to love the Apple rumor mill, which more or less seems to run on nothing more substantial than unicorn farts and mashable saying "I wanna pony! HEY GUYS! STEVE IS GONNA RELEASE A PONY!!")

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

As the article notes, the December 2013 date is for a display with the same 326 DPI as an iPhone display. When they come out with a higher resolution iPad, it won't be at 326 DPI, it will be double the current resolution, which would be more like 260 DPI. Which would probably be possible in 2012. Later this year would be pushing it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The rumor I heard was that they would release some kind of "iPad Pro" in the fall, but I honestly have no idea what the hell that would even mean.

I heard a rumor that the iPony is going to come in white.

All you iPony owners are going to be so jealous when Apples comes out with the iUnicorn the following year.

Then of course hackers will be attaching horns to their iPonies. Things will get bloody.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

WhatEVER. I will be riding the Google Stallion.
