Uh...huh.

So. The "iPad". It looks like essentially the love child of a netbook and a Kindle, with no keyboard. And the name just practically INVITES "high tech tampon" jokes.

Someone really didn't think this one through, did they.

brb lol-ing forever

Hey, it looks kinda cool. And expensive.

And breakable.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Oh dear lord. They're describing it as "magical". What, like "that magical time when you become a woman"?

(I'll be here all week, try the veal, tip your servers well!)

[x-staffofone.livejournal.com]

I don't get your sense of humor. And "magical" jokes really don't suit me.

...Are you a hacker?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Many people don't get my sense of humor. But yeah, the "magical" references Steve Jobs is making just amuse me that much more because of the people I know and things I've seen.

I am many things, but yes, I dabble a bit in that area.

[x-staffofone.livejournal.com]

Oh, but you only need to be a little less clever. Or a little more maybe? What things is Steve Jobs saying?

...Are you a professional ninja assassin?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

The answer is always to be MORE clever, not less. He's talking about how magical the new iPad is, and how the last time there was this much buzz about a tablet, it had commandments on it. brb, barfing.

Good lord no.

Amateur at best. ;-)

Good answer, I guess. Dude, I barely understand the iPod Touch; if it can reproduce my music, I'm fine with it. It looks shinny though.

Learn something every day.

Shiny alone is not a good reason to produce/buy something, in my opinion.

Notice the wink-y emoticon. Laurie and I study martial arts together at a dojo in the city.

[x-staffofone.livejournal.com]

But...they are shiny! Shiny is good right? Not that I would waste my money there, but damn...shiny.

I did hear something about that I while ago. I think. Sounds like some pretty badass training.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Shiny is good, but it is not sufficient on its own. I mean, look at Windows Vista. Bleh.

Enh. It's pretty normal, really.

[x-staffofone.livejournal.com]

That's not shiny! Vista is like...a light bulb forced into one's eyeball. Yuck.

Martial arts are pretty cool, alright? Don't try to change my mind on that. With all the people in this place that know how to fight, I could understand if you felt as if it were a small feat, but not me, who still remembers the days with people that can't defeat ten armed guys with a plastic spoon.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Vista was like a very pretty marzipan coating over a cake made of stuff that only Cammie could potentially find appetizing.

Dude, I don't know anyone that could defeat ten armed guys with a plastic spoon. Except in a Jet Li movie.

[x-staffofone.livejournal.com]

You sir, have the most appropriate words.

Jet Li is getting old...alright, a screwdriver?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

It's what I do.

Yeah, but he's still pretty hardcore. A screwdriver I could totally see.

[x-staffofone.livejournal.com]

Oh...OH, right, you kind of do that.

Like Jackie Chan, who is my hero forever and ever. See? something as little and simple like a screwdriver. I think I need to practice some myself, but after the magic, and the studies, and more magic...no time.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Well, if you sharpened the spoon a lot, like shank style sharpened, and you were in a position they could only come at you one or two at a time.

Mostly though, it's better not to piss off ten guys at once. Like, entirely better.
