How is this not just an over-sized iPod touch? You really cannot call it a computer (no usb, firewire, etc. ports) can you? I can’t install software on it or multitask nor even do a video chat, unless something comes out as a surprise when it is released in a couple of days. You will be able to purchase tons of app’s from the app store and many of those I’m sure will be very good, but it’s just not the same freedom I have on my Macbook.

To me that is the question… How does the iPad bridge that gap between my iPhone and and my Macbook? To me it doesn’t make that leap, at least not with the version one product. Do I want one? Sure, it would be a great little toy to have and millions of people will find a use for it or it will bridge that gap for them.

I also found this article to a PC magazine review of the iPad. So for all the Apple haters here is an unbiased raving review from a ‘non’ apple base So please don’t take this post the wrong way, I love apple and their products. I was just really hoping this would be more of an actual netbook competitor and not a slick looking toy.

Sarah Palin is an ignorant twit:

Just a few rants so forgive me but this chick drives me fucking nuts….

Tea Party people listen up / you started out with some good common sense endeavors/ideals (constitutionally limited government, balanced budgets, free markets, anti-bailouts and the list goes on).

Many republicans and democrats stand for these issues. This is not some right wing movement, it’s a common sense movement.

Stick with your original plan and drop the Obama bashing (and yes I disagree with Obama on the majority of his issues/decisions), weed out the fanatic’s, and do EVERYBODY a favor and employ a rally sign checker/reviewer for your rallies (nothing worse than some white trash asshole with a shitty misspelled, strewn together sign). Stick to your original plan….

The best advice…. Find a new face for your movement as Palin is doing irreversible damage to you and whoever made her the face of the Tea Party movement should be flogged. She most likely appointed herself as the face of your movement since she is nothing more than an opportunist jerk off.

Just see what would happen if she was no longer paid 6 figures for speaking engagements. I would bet anybody a hundred bucks she would abscond into obscurity if she had no ulterior motives and no longer could profiteer at the detriment of the meek.

Just a few unbiased fact checks:

Oh, and by the way, I am not a Tea Party member. I just loathe stupid and ignorant people.
