Apple iPad
It is not an iTablet or iSlate —- it is an iPad (in between an iPhone and a Macintosh laptop).
More photos. Here too. And here.
UPDATE: One thing bothers me. Apple iPad doesn’-t compute Flash, and so you can’-t view YouTube videos on the Safari browser —-but there’-s a YouTube app, I am told. Humm…-
UPDATE: Link to the recorded event.

Yet another reason to buy Macintosh computers
A good (and sometimes hilarious) article from Apple Insider, which highlights the P.R. problems that MicroSoft auto-create each time the Redmond folks try to bash the Macintosh via fake ads…- disingenuous ads.

What I dislike:
– The mighty mouse (which I prefer to the trackpad). It is difficult to get a clean, straight right-click —-as I was used to on my (Dell) PC. Sometimes, my right-click is interpreted as a left-click —-shitty mouse. UPDATE: Mike Arrington hates the Mighty Mouse, too.

What I like:
– All the great open-source software available for the Apple Macintosh (ditto for the iPhone). (Some are also listed here.) Contra Mike Linksvayer, I think it is a great match. I am sure that our good doctor David Pennock (another open-source fanboy) and mister Adam Siegel (another Macintosh fanboy) agree with moi.

What I like:
– iRed Lite, which is a little software that allows you to command a bunch of applications via the Apple Remote (as opposed to the mouse or trackpad). It is particularly useful for audio, video and presentations. For instance, you can go to the next slide (or the previous slide) without ever touching your Mac, simply by clicking on the right (or left) button of your Apple Remote —-and you can do that while being far away from your Mac.

What I dislike:
I don’-t recommend the Apple MacBook Air. Its screen is too small (13 inch). Do buy a computer with a very big screen. See more computer tips here.

50% of our prediction market luminaries have a MacBook.
Right-click this link, open it in another browser tab, and you’-ll get why.
