I warn you against pulling at straws, and you go ahead and pull at straws.

Well, I picked up my first iPad direct from the apple store the day after it was released... (didn't want one until all I could read on gizmodo that day was how batshit awesome it was) Last year, with the iPad 2, it was weeks before you could get your mitts on one if you didnt get it opening day. (I remember wishing I…

I was going to respond with the exact same message Duffin replied to you earlier with. I will take it even further. What's to stop people from sticking their finger out in their jacket pocket, holding it up and proclaiming they have a gun?

last year they had 4 of each flavor at my local best buy. I showed up about 2 hours in advance and there were about 12 people ahead of me. I wanted the plain-jane black 16gb wifi only, but that was gone. settled for the 32. Guess it depends on your city.

Yes, there is a slight resemblance. The blower resembles a cartoon rocket. Both are shaped to be aerodynamically favorable for a payload. They still look nothing alike. Also, there's a notable difference in size that even a quick glance could discern. The point is, if you mistake the giotto rocket for a bomb, you have…

I agree with TheForestMan. Also, the Giottos rocket doesn't look like a weapon.

Except it looks nothing like a bomb. Or a grenade. Only an idiot would see a Giottos rocket and think "oh snap! that looks like a bomb!" Maybe a cartoon rocket ship, but not a grenade and surely not a bomb.

BUT YOU COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE $4 ON A PAIR OF SLIPPER-SHAVERS!!!

Nice; I enjoyed that.

Guess so...

Hahaha... yeah, that was pretty lame. "The new iPad" Guess we're just going to call it the iPad and specify generation unless we're talking about the latest and greatest...

Would you like to place a friendly wager then?

from the oxy link:

yeah, noticed that too, happens every now and then to me during occasional use; the android version seemed to be a lot more accurate then just completely disregarded that little portion.

I have mixed feelings about that. I mean, it would have saved the world from all the iCrap floating around out there, and they wouldn't have to litigate and create fake companies over maintaining a naming convention, but blanket trademarks like that annoy the hell out of me too. I think in cases like this, it's…

God and religion are important to a significant portion of the people who would vote for the GOP candidates. It makes sense to be religious and outspoken about it, especially if you're trying to win conservatives' votes. You also may need a refresher on what is meant by 'separation of church and state', and maybe…

It's interesting... I noticed that in the android note, it completely ignored 'little'. Not sure why that stuck out at me.

When did Proview trademark the name iPad? Was it before Apple made the iPod/iMac/iPhone iWhatever popular? Was it an original name thought up before Apple and all the copiers/freeloaders? If so, I think they should have at least a chance at winning. If not, screw them, along with all the other companies who ran with…

Hmm... doesn't look like much of a competition, if you ask me. (In the Apple/Proview case)

yes.
