  • @nogrrlsallowed oh I know, this is the first time it's ever worked out in my favour. in reply to nogrrlsallowed #
  • @rememberthemilk any word on getting support for the 14244305 version of Gmail? in reply to rememberthemilk #
  • Emilia on the attack…talk to the paw! http://post.ly/KX6j #

  • just did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro, and I must say — I'm shocked how few desktop apps I use these days. #
  • if the $1,000 price point (w/o Verizon/AT&T 3G contract) is correct for the Apple Tablet then this thing will flop. It's just a laptop then #
  • @tylercrosby Yeah, and do you really want a touch screen keyboard for all your long emails/papers? No way. Need a real keyboard. in reply to tylercrosby #
  • @TomChau Yes, yes it was. What's next? Mafia Wars? in reply to TomChau #
  • @tylercrosby it'll be a cute toy… but it won't be a laptop replacement, but at $1,000 that's where it's priced. in reply to tylercrosby #
  • Any Excel 2003 VBA wizards out there? I need to select/activate the entire row based on the current cell I'm in. Ideas? #
  • to clarify my #Excel request — I need to select the entire row based on a relative cell value. #
  • so far the iPad is not impressive. It's just a giant iPhone. #
  • me thinks the iPad will be another Apple TV …. i.e. iFailure. #
  • RT @platinumforests: Ew, #iPad. Not half as efficient as a laptop and not half as portable as an iPhone. Boo. #
  • @dremin wow, you are drinking the koolaid aren't you? ..holy crap. Calm down there killer. We know how popular e-readers have been so f ar. in reply to dremin #
  • @dremin until they mention a price (my guess is at least $700) I'm not even slightly impressed. No way this replaces a real laptop in reply to dremin #
  • ouch … $630 if you want the cheapest iPad with 3G capabilities …um no. No thanks. #
  • conclusion — for $630, $730, and $830 …you get an oversized iPhone with a slightly cheaper (but still crappy) AT&T data connection #
  • @edythemighty very pricey. Not as useful as a laptop, and not as portable as an iPhone. in reply to edythemighty #
  • @xstex oh do enlighten the rest of us then in reply to xstex #
  • @xstex yes, and based on the facts we've now seen … it's a giant iPhone. Less function than a laptop, less mobile than an iPhone too. Fail in reply to xstex #
  • @xstex eh, screen size is too small. still no multi tasking, no notifications, no Flash (I mean, really?) in reply to xstex #
  • maybe I'm just a bad person, but the guy on the iPad video just looks and sounds like such a douche. http://bit.ly/bSc5wY #
  • @xstex same here — I was far more interested in seeing the iPhone OS 4.0 than this stupid iPad thing. in reply to xstex #
  • @swichi293 you mean except like Delicious Library? It looks like iBooks stole the shelf idea directly from them. in reply to swichi293 #
  • @SteveStreza such as? notification changes? multitasking? in reply to SteveStreza #
  • @Switched entirely underwhelmed. No multitasking is a joke. no flash, no camera, no Flash in the browser, no notifications in reply to Switched #
  • The #iPad is a joke. Anyone who buys the 1st gen is a moron. 16GB? Joke. No Flash? Joke. No camera? Joke. No multitasking? Joke. No Thanks. #
  • @jmcavalieri I bet the processor isn't compatible. I like the idea though! in reply to jmcavalieri #
  • @ecoando @hoffnasty9 I bet the processor could handle it speed-wise without much trouble. Not the fastest thing ever, but livable I bet. in reply to ecoando #
  • RT @TechCrunch: Think the iBooks app Looks Familiar? You’re Not The Only One. See who Apple stole it from. http://bit.ly/ciQPZW #
  • @nuevasync seem to be having Google Calendar issues all of a sudden. Control panel says it can't get my calendar list. Any ideas? #
