Apple Announces Tablet Device Called iPad
Steven P. Jobs says the product, which looks like a big iPhone, will fill a gap between laptops and smartphones.
obsian diabolism is abroad in the land once more. Don’t you see? The iPhone was launched to fill an imaginary gap between PDAs and cellphones, and now the iPad will fill the imaginary gap between iPhones and laptops. This is the devilish paradox of infinite points on a finite number line made concrete, and apparently a brilliant advertising model.
I prophesy that next will come the iPanic to fill the imaginary gap between iPads and laptops, the iPrep to fill the imaginary gap between laptops and cutting boards, then the iCouldntcareless to fill the imaginary gap between iPhones andiPads. Then we’ll need an iDunno to fill the imaginary gap between iPhones and iCouldntcarelesses, and the iBuprofen to fill the imaginary gap between iCouldntcarelesses and iPads and to stop your eyestrain headaches. It can now literally go on forever.
Damn you, Euclid of Alexandria. See where pre-Christian thought gets us?
