via a link at Gruber's re the iPad. There just may be Something to this ... hypertext, is it?

Thanks for the sleuthing. The M$ rebuttal, so obviously done on that fuzzy-scale.. where PR lives, naturally could not even hint of the internecine fiefdom skirmishes -- till the forest come to Dunsinane. So yeah, why bother to 'rebut', one seconds.. Gawd they must have buried a Ton of talent in those corner offices, with the insanely-great ideas spawned - shelved. (Why not make buildings as dodecagons - More corner offices?)

iPad stuff:

Love the concise/disciplined speculations on parentage. Beyond the mere nomenclature of er, iPhone OS and between-the-lines of these respondents -- obviously ept also long students of Apple etiology and its umm ... strategic-algorithm? -- we can infer how deucedly-Smart Jobs et al really are.

They must possess a unique grasp of -- and mine, constantly -- the socio- psycho- mindsets of the masses who flock to the Candy Store for a fix.. even when bereft of spendable cash.
When in the local one with a friend whose 17" laptop had a stuck DVD (1st Gen- model now long-in-tooth), I studied the occupants, while playing with the iPhone, seeing how intuitively the layout functioned. Truly a mondo-Toy for frenetic times and perennially multitasking grey cells.

(After getting Ap Store's estimate of >$600 to remove a stuck DVD in a friend's Powerbook, mayhap replace Superdrive, I steered her to a place a few blocks away: aftermarket drive, labor ... think it was ~$175ish. ) Champagne tastes / beer income. {sigh}
Will cheerily settle for this bitchin iMac for n years, world's biggest notebook -- thankyouverymuch, Steverino!
