I remember having this conversation a few years ago - remember how in the mid 90s, Bill Gates’ narrative was that he was the devil/antichrist/etc?
And now he’s probably saved more lives than anyone since Alexander Fleming…crazy

Rajeev - you missed my initial argument I think. I never said anything about the eBook readers being pointless, just (as Rajiv said too) that they’re clearly not staying for very long. But, if the iPad is part of the wave to overtake them, the app store model makes it so that Amazon can leverage it’s existing position as an eBook leader / eRetail...

kudos to apple for starting pricing at $500…makes it seem like a very solid product, like i said before, a kindle with additional stuff and multimedia for that price is good. obviously most people will get the 3G, so it starts at 630 really, but still. if marketed well, could do really well by christmas, when prices will come down.
the cynical part of me has 3 concerns:
1) all you...
The price is wrong, bitch.
Pat: what do you guess for price?
Omar: it's going to be like $600
Vamsi: i'll take $601
Omar: you ass

There’s still huge potential for this. Apple can market like no other business, and they’ve got an established fanbase. Not only that, they have an ability to add a fluid “liquidity” to their user interface that, for whatever reason, few other O/S’s seem to be able to do. But I honestly wish this was a repackaged netbook with apple’s distinctive visual style/user...
reactions on the apple tablet
Pat: ummm, this is just a big iphone bro
.
Omar: no flash
Omar: hahahahahhaha
Omar: there's no flash on it
Vamsi: What donkeyness
.
Pat: apple stock dropping
Pat: We're basically just watching Steve casually browse. This is odd.
.
Rajeev: Oh my god... brace yourself for the slew of apple blogs talking about how it's [flash] not needed
Rajeev: If it was a scaled down version of microsoft's table, it'd be perfect
.
Pat: again, i dont see this as being a necessary in between an iphone and my laptop
Pat: "do not want"
.
John: i get the feeling that when they came up with the name, they didn't ask anyone with a boston accent
The Question
caffeinated:
Will the iSlate revolutionize tablets more like the Apple TV revolutionized television or more like the Macbook Air revolutionized breathing?
ha. i haven’t really followed but from my basic understanding, it’s going to be Kindle-ish…
so if the iSlate is basically a kindle + video/sling/internet capabilities, and it’s $500, then that’s probably a...

white basketball league?! →
I thought this was from the Onion, but apparently it’s real. Some guy in the South is trying to start a white league:
“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like. Would you want to go to...

Friend: a girl introduced herself to me at the gym
Friend: does this mean she's interested?
Me: yes
Me: oddly a girl introduced herself to me the other day but it was early in the morning and i was slow on the uptake
Friend: yeah, its tough early in the morning to be in that mode
Friend: was she cute?
Me: yah but looked young (like 21-24)...not prohibitively though
Friend: "21-24"....ummm, dude thats like the perfect age
Me: i thought your perfect age is 19 year old cheerleader
tim tebow was almost aborted?! →
unnamedplayer:
did not know that. in other news, brett favre was almost aborted too. but his mother decided against it and he came back late in the third trimester (so she could skip lamaze classes).
ZING!!!
Ha, nice. Yeah I heard about Tebow when the story first broke about the anti-abortion super bowl ad. Maybe I’m a little deranged, or maybe I’m just obsessed with...

Online Twenty Questions - very clever →
interstate:
Pick a character or person and go through 20 questions with this online bot. It will surprise you at how good it is. It got “Donatello” (the ninja turtle) pretty easily and blew my mind when it got “Gary Brolsma” (the Numa Numa guy).
Didn’t even come close to figuring out Chester Copperpot.

His take on Iraq war-Health care comparison, very reasonable. Less about health care specifically than mismanagement by the democrats.
