    I keep marveling over how everyone seems to be ignoring that whole part of the conference. The basic input of the device wasn't working at it's big unveiling. Then he obviously panic punches the home button repeatedly, hoping for it to exit out of the app so he can move on to the next demonstration, and finally he has

    Anyone who eats Muppet for breakfast must be a monster. For shame.

    I create spreadsheets on my iPad all the time. I've never needed a stylus.

    This. See, I've been thinking about this over the last couple of days, and the problem is, a laptop works because it is it's own support surface (genuinely, no pun intended). In all situations that you would normally be able to use a laptop on your lap, you would still need a table to rest surface on. Doesn't work at

    That really was just about the most awkward moment I've ever seen from about 13:38-14:12. You could tell it wasn't responding at all like he had expected it to, and I was uncomfortable for him. It threw off his train of thought, made Windows 8 look buggy, and broke up the whole flow of the demonstration.

    I like the way you think... I hate the way you beat me to the punch.

    I'd be willing to put snacks in Liv Tyler's underwear if he wasn't damn proud to have Ben Affleck do it.

    Yeah, AppleTV works for iOS flawlessly.

    Rivitting. I'm speechless. Bravo.

    in over a century.

    You're apartment must have been tiny! ;)

    Okay, other than your say-so, do you have support for why making a presentation from an iPad is such a huge faux pas?

    iCloud can work with documents on Mac or Windows. I upload PowerPoint and Word files to iCloud all the time. The only things I seem to lose are non-standard fonts.

    I guess I must look like a pretentious douche, because I use my iPad at work all the time. I even make presentations from it over AirPlay.

    I pay $34 a month for my Internet; I don't play WoW or any other subscription based games; I don't smoke; and, @Graymulligan, I don't eat out unless it's to take my wife to a nice dinner.

    Doesn't half of the content on Xbox require a subscription to Gold, though? That's the biggest drawback to me. To watch Netflix, Hulu+, Xfinity, or pretty much anything else, you have to have a subscription to that service and an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

    How did I not know about this guy!? This is awesome. I think I may have a new hero.
