Looks like SOMEBODY stayed up all night sewing

About 2 hours after the iPad was released, we began receiving press releases from various companies letting us know that they planned to offer a full line of iPad accessories. Some of these contained mocked up photos, some vague release dates, but today we were surprised to find that one company, Booq, claims they are actually SHIPPING theirs already. First up is their Taipan sneak XS, a neoprene sleeve-like thing that no one would carry the way the guy in the picture is if... Read More

Pee-wee Gets An iPad = pure awesomeness!

I’m so glad Pee-Wee got busted for indecent exposure all those years ago. Without that arrest (and his subsequent large amounts of free time) , I’m pretty sure we would not be seeing this video. Pee-wee Gets An iPad! from Pee-wee Herman And yes, I realize he is making a comeback, and he was awesome on Reno 911. Chill out. I have much love for Pee-Wee.

They’re not exactly high-fiving, are they?

Someone managed to snap some video of Steve Jobs leaving the Yerba Buena Center after his iPad unveiling. I’m sure its just me reading too much into this shot, but doesn’t the mood there amongst his posse seem just slightly less enthusiastic than that of a child’s funeral? For the record, I am slowly warming to the idea of the iPad, and do not view it as the colossal let down many/most of you seem to. For years now I’ve complained about the idea of an... Read More

Is it just me, or is that kind of a lot of time to put into your hair for an internet show?

Here’s a pretty interesting clip of Leo Laporte talking to a pineapple about his live video broadcast from the iPad keynote. Apparently Steve gave Leo “the stink eye” on a couple occasions. I therefore think it’s a safe assumption that Leo will die of an embolism by Saturday.  Read More
