The IPad UI stupidity

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Even though I don’t really care one way or another about whether I’m blogging about what everyone else is blogging about, after seeing pictures and having to deal with weeks of (over)-hype: With all due respect to the Blogosphere, Mr. Steve Jobs, and Apple Inc., that IPad looks like it has [...]
