Mmmm. Hamburger hat... I've got an experiement I need to do. I'll— uh- be right back.

That's a good point. It does look like some good work from Intel. But by the time their first SoC ships, ARM processors are going to be well past what they were showing off at CES. If they released today, they would still only be caught up with chips from last summer. I don't see Intel's mobile chips being competitive…

Disclaimer: I have been a Mac user for six years now.

And they'll have fans and run hot? How will the battery life be? Anything like an intel laptop? No thanks.

What I can't believe is that they couldn't force the Office team to design a Metro native app. So much for design coherence as a company.

They were sleeves for iPods.

Modern ones do. The earlier were quite different.

I seem to remember the late 90's fad following the release of the iMac. There were certainly translucent "bondi blue" type items before, but most of what I remember seemed like a response. I could be wrong though. I still wear plaid shirts and listen to the Wallflowers.

But... but... a whole bunch of people below and above you who don't understand much about valuation vs. performance say that Apple's going to burst.

Their share price relative to their profits and growth is still undervalued when compared to the valuation of companies that perform far worse than them.

Analysts have been saying that Apple's stock is bound for a crash for years. Meanwhile, Apple's profits relative to their market cap is still low compared to other tech companies. As long as they keep making the kind of profit they are (and keep growing their profit every quarter), they are worth every penny.

This is about stock prices, not their bank account.

I can one up you. I don't own anything. I don't support the establishment. I rent my underwear.

Not sure I know what this is.

Very true.

i doubt the new iPad will be any mor expensive than the previous model seeing as how the second wasn't any more than the first.

From everything I've read (and from personal contacts in China), Apple has done more to improve working conditions in suplier factories than any of the other major electornics manufacturers. I'm not saying they are perfect. What I'm saying is it's a load of crap to act like boycotting Apple is the solution to this…

Have you had anyone look at it? It sounds like your particular iPad might have issues if it's crashing every 5-10 minutes. I'm on a first gen iPad, and I haven't had the browser crash since iOS 4 (on gizmodo over and over and over again).

I don't think I've ever heard an iOS user complain about usability or the quality of the OS.

I'll boycot Apple when everyone else boycotts every other electronics company whom they can name off the top of their head. Especially since Apple has opened themselves up to inspection from outside organizations to promote accountability.
