Really? Like, this actually happened?
Computerworld- Apple CEO Steve Jobs today unveiled the iPad, calling the tablet a “magical and revolutionary” addition to the company’s existing lines of Macs, iPods and the iPhone.
Ok, so lets not even talk about the fact that this thing is nothing but an IPhone for people with chubby hands. Instead, let’s try and guess what the Apple branding and marketing folks are going to do for work after they all get fired tomorrow morning.
Apple has like 20,000 employees, and NONE of them watched Mad TV? Seriously? Nobody was like “Um, hey Steve? Yeah, so you might want to come up with another name that doesn’t sound like an internet-enabled feminine hygiene product”? I just can’t believe it. It’s like the modern day Pinto. Steve Jobs left a poor Asian boy in a tub full of ice without a liver to make this speech, and you guys named his new toy the iRag? If I worked at Apple, I’d spend the night saying goodbye to my family and practicing the Chewbacca defense.
