Not if they want to hit their release date. Real artists ship.

When I put my personal information on this billboard, no one told me that old, fat and ugly people would be able to read it! I want my money back!

It has a line-in jack, so prerumably you can connect an iPad like anything else. Making it specific to the Kindle Fire probably increases the odds of getting it featured prominently on Amazon, which could be worth big sales all by itself, not to mention being displayed along with the Kindle in brick-and-mortar stores.…

There were also Sansa-specific docks, without which Woot! wouldn't have had enough to sustain a Woot-off back in the day.

... does not constitue a "relationship."

Kickstarter is not immune from Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. That's a minimum. In some fields it's higher. But Gizmodo (I think it was) alerted me to the kickstarter page for the Wingstand, which I use Every. Single. Day.

You mean the iPod Touch/iPhone that was, at that point, less than three years old? Out of all the tablets that were out before the iPad, how many had a multitouch interface rather than running a kludgy stylus-based version of a desktop OS?

"Tablets" before the iPad were laptops with the keyboard hacked off. Apple's innovation was making one people would actually want to buy.

Gizmodo, c. 27 A.D.:

Nope. No need for 'Net neutrality here. Just a free-market monopoly the way God and Ayn Rand intended.

SRSLY. Those slackers haven't created a whole new product category in TWO YEARS!

Yay! I'm so glad that I can ditch DVDs, because all the same content is available streaming.

"Last year when the iPad 2 came our no one said anything about wanting a better screen ..." You're joking, right? The rumors about a retina iPad started about fifteen minutes after the iPhone 4 was released.

Yeah, aside from a much better screen, much faster processor, much better graphics, much better camera, double the RAM, insanely much faster network, what have the Romans done for us? I mean, it's not like they upgraded the ... um, whatever the other parts are. I mean, a 3.5mm headphone jack? In 2012? Puh-leeze.

Jeez. It's not like they're asking for much. All they want is something no one has ever thought of before, twice a year.

I'm thinking my "survival" board would have an avalanche beacon on it. Just me?

Dude, Sundance sold out and went mainstream way before selling out and going mainstream sold out and went mainstream.

Nice try, with all your sneaky science. They just tried to push "climate change" because "global warming" was so obviously a hoax. I mean, if the temperatures aren't at record highs everywhere all the time, there can't possibly be anything wrong. Because anything true is simple and obvious.

Yeah, you're right. I mean, it's not like we ever hear anything about the F-22 or F-35's problems on Gizmodo. (cough)

I can't get the transcript to load, but my recollection is that Daisey talked with Ira Glass more than once about acting as a journalist, and how unfamiliar a role that was for him. "Don't make up facts" isn't an arcane bit of journalistic ethics.
