My purchase-threshhold expectation hasn't changed since they announced the iPad 1: I'll buy one when it runs the same OS as Apple's laptops and desktops. Given how the changes in Mountain Lion are making it more iOS-like, I'd bet this happens in one or two more cycles.

Fuck it, call me tacky. I want those blue ones on my bug.

These comments have me wanting to get my Macbook Pro powdercoated in Pantone 453.

It seems to be a freebase form of catnip for every xx-chromosome human on Facebook. I have yet to see a dude post "Pinterest. This shit is the bomb, yo."

Who gives their email address to porn sites? Dumb.

Red states tend to proliferate in the oxygen-deprived regions.
