As a person who appreciates kicks & electronic items as much as the next man, I’ve stood in my fair share of lines over the years.  One thing I learned is that things can get pretty cutthroat when demand trumps supply.  And you know if you had to be on the lookout after copping a pair of J’s, that you better be on your toes when the iPad is in your possession.  One should be especially careful if he or she lives in Denver because it apparently goes down at the Cherry Creek Mall, where one fine local citizen got straight jacked for his iPad in broad daylight last week: Read the rest of this entry »

So, Steve Jobs sold 120,000 iPads on Friday.

If I remember correctly, his iPhone/iBook merger ticketed for around $600. And if my phone’s calculator calculations add up, that means Apple earned $72 million dollars of revenue in one day off one product. A product that doesn’t even hit stores until April 3rd, mind you.

Between now and April 3rd, expect the media coverage and ensuing buzz outright mania to continue to grow beyond reason. Apple chose tonite’s Oscars to break out the iPad’s first TV spot. And with that, the cool kids officially jumped the fence (originally seated on the side with the naysayers), cleared credit card space and await their chance to purchase.

Any guesses on what kind of porn Pee-Wee views on his iPad? $20 says it involves a playhouse gang, talking animals and lots of “secret” words. Despite the not-so-subtle jabs at Steve Jobs’ newborn baby, a blacklight up against that gray suit would undoubtedly prove to be the biggest joke of them of all. Read the rest of this entry »

You’d think that Apple had another beloved money maker up their sleeves when the often rumored iPad finally saw the light of day. But the iPad’s backlash ranging from unabashed naysayers to the everyday citizens of Apple’s reality distortion field have swarmed the innanet like no other product in the Corporation’s recent memory. It almost looks like Steve Jobs & co. set themselves up worse than that hapless “comedian” blessed with Jamie Foxx’s “I Am Your Conscience” routine. Sad thing is the contraption isn’t even a week old and the e-mischief is still rolling.

The folks at college humor keep the hate rolling in this flick. Some of the jokes inside are easy front runners such as (max)iPad-type putdowns and punchlines of the “useless piece of shit” variety. But I chuckled when ‘ol girl said it’d make Amazon’s CEO commit suicide. Add that to the play on Apple’s clean backdrops, overt enthusiasm over joke possibilities and Charmin soft rock and you have a decent parody to click through. Keep in mind that these cats scratched the surface here. Let’s not get into what makes nerds hate this thing.

One of the biggest headlines today has nothing to do with a natural disaster or President Obama’s upcoming state of the union address. Nope, a large majority of the world focused its attention on Steve Jobs and Apple as they unveiled their iPad. Read the rest of this entry »
