Yaay...the new Tablet. The name sucks, seriously iPAD? Sounds like a feminine hygiene product (thats what everyone else is saying too :P )
Anyways...I read through the specs and I really wanted to think it was cool, but...
1. Wheres the USB port?
Why the hell would I want to connect to my computer for everything? If you're making a revolutionary and magical device, wouldn't you want people to use it even without a bloddy computer to get my files? So, if I am in class and the other guy has his documents on a USB drive, how is he supposed to magically send it to my iPad?
2. No Flash Support? If I want to have a full media web browser, then I certainly want flash! Heck, you can't even log an Oracle support ticket without flash now! LAME.
3. Lame resolution. 1024 x 768 makes it sound like an age old monitor. Bah.
Whats cool is the price point. If it had a USB port, I'd probably pre order it and find a hack to get flash working...but now I'm really thinking if I need the device, even though it would have been an awesome replacement for my dieing laptop.

Travel in the US
I recently had to travel to Toronto (after the Christmas day attempted attack) and boy do I hate the airlines even more. I also travelled to Las Vegas which was mildly better but not by much... Where do I start?
1. Charging for checking in bags? Totally blows. Why would people travel without their f'ing clothes?
2. Airport security -- WTF. Why is America so scared? I think it's more political than actual fact. Seriously....on the way back from Toronto I wasn't allowed to carry my laptop bag, had to check it in (it was a bloddy Swiss Backpack).
2.1 The security check at the gate (no not the first x-ray check, one more before all the gates that lead to ANY US bound flights). They were Canadians, so they atleast smiled. Took out every single thing from my pocket and double signed my boarding pass and then someone else checked the double signature....seriously???
3. I hate hate hate all the bloddy airlines for their lack of professional service. Just hate them. We really need a new airline.
I think the Republicans should shut the f**k up and not create a hysteria. Sure some idiot tried to set off a firecracker, but wtf, seriously. Just really dumb. Makes us appear more scared than brave.
