14. If this is only a Trademark issue, seems pretty inconsequential/stupid...

So what, Apple changes the name of the iPad? That's a lame name anyway. For a company that's supposed to be so creative, I'd think they'd have more imagination that just putting and "i" before all their product names.

Really I couldn't care less about a product line that is geared toward the more simplistic minds. I think Apple is fast becoming the manufacturer of choice for Conservatives, as they are unable to comprehend other devices.

There are much more fascinating things going on in the world of technology, products being invented that could actually have a profound impact on the future of society.
