@Ridley: That's a huge relief, but I'm a bit skeptical having read too many Crichton novels.

@MisterMhz: Augmented Reality (AR) would be fantastic on that huge screen with the faster processor. Take a vacation, hold up the iPad 2 and see the history of everything around you at a touch. That's transformative.

@LegacyCrono: Yes, completely obsolete. So obsolete that if I were to sell the old model, I'd get practically $100 less for it. What a huge waste to use the iPad for a year for, what, like about $9/month? I could have eaten at the work cafeteria once a month for that money!

@Nigra: I believe it will have about 1920 x 1080 res. That would freakin' ROCK on this size device, and there's no need to go full Retina.

@Frequenter: Second! We need an Angry Historian around here.

@ZenInsight: shopping malls are a terrible place to go after an apocalypse. Well, they're not all that great now, which sort of hints at something...

@ScaryMerry: It's working now. I just put it on my iPad. A bit awkward to start, with switching back and forth between the app and Safari, but it settles down once the book is placed in your account. From then you can do almost everything in the app. And it does store a local copy if you tap ahead of time.

@ripfire: I can't believe he turned his back on it. Roberto does NOT like to ignored. He's got to keep practicin' his stabbin'.

@Mmmmmhm: Hmmm, an argument composed of facts and reason. What are you doing on the INTERNET??? There's no place for you here!

@Iowa11: I'm jumping on the "cool Dad" bandwagon. I did something similar once, but it was only a few thousand. Not sure how I would have handled several hundred million. Probably badly...

@NaraVara: No, to be an "artist" you have to urinate on something controversial.

@The Terminator: Also there's a hexagonal shadow from something large in orbit. And centaurs.

@Rumtum: Created in the castle of Aaaaaaaargh!

@AdoraBelle: That circled A seems to be a carved version of a typo - the engraver / sculptor spelled the name wrong and had to correct.

@spyderr0de0: Dingleberries?

@Gordonium: Tell him/her to give your bong back.

@Sun Girl: At first I was jealous of you sleeping up to 11 hours a night, but then I realized those are Canadian hours. Really it's just about the same as 8 American hours.

@Grindhouse Murders: Well, there is a conspicuous Arab...

@minibeardeath: Given the number of times I've seen it happen, I was waiting for the mother of all faceplants. More like a facesmear at that height / speed.

@bobmarley101: It's perfect. Now to make one with ten times that number of feet, using sentient pearwood. Twoflower is waiting...
