at least cats luv iPads

So the newest piece of technology causing widespread flame wars and arguments on the interwebs is the Apple iPad. Everyone has their own unique opinion on it, and while other people probably have more well researched opinions than me, my personal opinion is as follows.

It sucks. You can't type with it on the go in any comfortable way. Imagine trying to make your way through a crowded subway with a giant clunk of metal in your hand, held precariously by your fingers on the side since there is no other way to grip the piece of crap, and trying to type with the fingers on one hand. So slow. It's impractical and expensive, and will probably end up being more like the Macbook Air than it is like the iPhone.



There is one positive with the iPad though, cats ruv dem! There has been a tremendous outpouring of kitty support for the enlarged screen of the iPad, which can serve as a virtual playground for the cats by offering them a little moving animation that can respond to the touch of their warm wittle paws. Cat love chasing around virtual mice and playing with little pixels of string, almost as much as humans love watching their little feline friends' heads curiously bob back and forth. But again this only works with the iPad on a flat surface, and it's not like there is any need for cats to send business documents, so really the iPad still sucks for humans, but rocks the fancy out of cats. Man, just think what cats would do with a Microsoft Surface or an HP Touchsmart on the table (accepting all donations for my kitty *cough* ASHTON *cough*)

Here's a cute video!
