Remember the first generation of ipod? a big chunky brick with small drive and not super awesome sound? Thoughts like that make me wonder about the people who buy the first generation of ipad. I'm not a tech geek, but it seems like there are a bunch of things that the apple people are holding out on so they can put them on the future gen versions and give people a reason to buy another one, like a flash on an iphone. I've been one of those people who were excited for something like this to exist now that I've seen some of the detail I have a few problems; no full HD playback, no usb port, no flash video player, no camera (or flash), it can only run one app at a time, and no phone capabilities (hook up a bluetooth ear piece and talk while you're using it; if people are going to call it a big iphone might as well give it that option), it could have had a stylus option with handwriting recognition for using it like a paper notepad. The lamest thing about it is of course the fucking name; there was an internet rumor that it was going to be called the iSlate (way better), but instead they went for a pansy play off the iPod. Come on apple, this could have been some serious Star Trek TNG style shit; instead you put out Voyager.
If this were on any other show somebody at apple probably would have spoken up at the product naming meeting; but it was madtv so I nobody watched.

sign of the times
Isn't it great the the whole conan thing went from being on everybody's tongue to the back of everyone's mind? In a week Haiti will be forgotten. Popular songs used to also average at around 4 minutes, these days it's closer to 3. I'm old and even I get bored with the longer stuff, and now between posts on here and text messages my writing has just become a series of short thoughts instead of eloquent prose. I'm even bored now and I'm not sure if it is because I've drifted off of a stupid topic, or if it just sucked in the first place and now I'm just bored. If you're reading this I can imagine that you are pretty bored.
I can type without looking at the keyboard; in fact I was just watching the end of a tennis match as I am writing this part.
"Bluuuughh, Bluuuuuuuighhhhh, Bizazzumm!, Blllluuuuuighhh"- Chuck at a Wendy's
