#39, “I think folks in school will benefit the most from the iPad,”

On that we solidly agree. The school book publishers are a powerful group because there is so much money to be made there, however, I feel every student will find a way to buy the iPad, when it means that’s all they need to carry around for the day – and it will access the internet. Texting might actually take a back-seat to e-mail as Steve Jobs envisioned with the iPhone.

It will take a while though before the major school book publishers embrace it 100%, but it’s the professors who set the books, and the iPad will allow them to assemble a greater array of texts than ever before (including their own compilations), forcing a change in the way business is done.

On the other hand, e-books allow texts to be updated as opinion sways. In the US, that means one day your science book describes Charles Dawrin’s theory of evolution in detail, then the next day, instead it talks about how the world was created 5,000 years ago in 7 days.

But at least history books can be current to within the week, for a change, even if they present revisionist points of view.

Karl Urban should have won the best supporting actor award because he just was so good as Bones

seashell #1: Water
seashell#2: Soap
seashell#3: Blown Dry

Not sure why North Americans are so content with wiping ones bum with paper and or baby wipes when there is technology that can solve the problem of the unclean feeling and/or saving of resources.

I am willing to bet the toilet paper companies are preventing the masses in North America from adapting toilet paper free toilets.

#38.,

A rough estimation from imdb credit listings is about 40 credited makeup personnel for NEMESIS and 70 for the 2009 movie.

BTW when can North America get rid of tissue toilet paper? They should make it law to use remote controlled toilets that clean you via warm water and soap/blown dry by the high tech toilet. Using toilet paper and or baby wipes to clean your bum is expensive and wasteful.

I think folks in school will benefit the most from the iPad, imagine not having to lug around 50+lbs of text books from class to class and how many trees can be saved.

The iPad could be great at work also, being able to take it from meeting to meeting on site or off.

I can also see the suave folks using the iPad at Starbucks drinking lattes and what not. The iPad will be a hit. I am sure pirates will be able to hack it and put anything they want on it also, be it pirated movies, games or music.
