The iPad, and the Staggering Work of Obviousness

>I wrote and edited this essay in its entirety on my iPad, using my Apple bluetooth keyboard, and the iPad Pages app, and posted using the Wordpress app. I only inserted the images on my Mac. It was awesome and reminded me of writing posts for my old Mac news site, circa 1998, on my Newton MessagePad. Sniff.

@bbum I did those in elementary school, and I’m actually pinging my accelerated class teacher on Facebook looking for them.

@bbum yes, you were right - “Thinklab” - but it’s hard to find them apparently.

Gizmodo’s problem is that the news was “we have the phone”, not “here’s what we found out about the phone”. It was PR, not News.

where’s the TWiT chat room? Jason Chen was the one on the video with the device in his hand, that’s prolly why he was targetted for warrant.
