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

You mean the labels or folders on the left side?

Yep, those.

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

Siri gives Apple a 2 year lead over Google. Wow. I wonder what Google will try to do in order to strike back/leap forward, instead of saying stupid stuff like "your phone shouldn't be your assistant".

I found a Greasemonkey script that helps a bit with Google Reader: [link]

Unfortunately, that won't help my work machine, which is IE7, and completely locked down. Bah.

I am posing from my shiny new iPad! I don't know her name yet. What apps should I get? And can I down/upload my bookmarks from Firefox?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Vortex,

the firefox thing is tricky. I would recommend you sync your bookmarks with Safari (do you have a mac) and have the ipad sync bookmarks with safari.

Alternately, I use xmarks to sync my computers' bookmarks and then I use the app to access them if I need to.

Or, you could use pinboard, delicious and use dbd (ipad app) to access those bookmarks.

You might want to search the thread for ipad apps, but otherwise, gizmodo has an apps (best ipad apps) guide. If you give me an idea of the kind of apps you want, I might be able to help.

Nope, up until now, I've always been a PC girl. Will safari accept HTML?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

hmm.

Vortex, I think you can google this. Perhaps you need to use icloud to sync bookmarks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think you can do that through iTunes, but I really don't know PCs. I will recommend Flipboard as an app. Love.
