So Is PC World Run By Morons, Or What?∞
I guess PC World knows something I don’t about the Apple tablet. Somehow they’ve found out not only the price (“too expensive”), but also what it does (“things you don’t need it to do”).
The entire article is just a bunch of bullshit claims about why the not-yet-announced tablet is bad for you (It uses an on-screen keyboard! It runs “iPhone 4.0 [sic]”! It’s insecure! It’s twice as much as a netbook!)
What I really love here is that PC World isn’t just making these outlandish claims about a product that they’re never used, or even a product that they’ve never seen. No, they’re saying all this about a product they don’t even know EXISTS.
Thanks to John Gruber for pointing out this beautiful piece of journalistic garbage.

Engadget Live from Microsoft's CES Keynote∞
There’s some pretty cool stuff there. I’m really excited to play around with Project Natal once it gets released.
Of course, the two keynotes I’m really excited about this month are Palm’s (tomorrow) and Apple’s (the 26th or the 27th).
Conde Nast preparing version of Wired for Apple tablet∞
Seems like a stupid idea really. If the Apple tablet does exist, which let’s be honest it probably does, it’s likely going to cost a lot. Which means not a lot of people are going to own one. Which means even fewer people are going to pay to read Wired on one.
Because high price points have really prevented all of Apple’s OTHER products from catching on, right?
