"Damn I can't remember the name, but it stars Jeff Bridges. Oh wait, Arlington Road. That one pissed me off because, after watching it, I felt like the premise of the movie might not be far from the truth, and it just really bothered me that this could be the world we live in."

"You can assist Apple in this by setting your iMessage caller ID to be your Apple ID instead of your phone number, then when you send messages from your phone, they'll be sent to iMessage users from your Apple ID. I don't think Apple will ever move to associate iMessage with your phone number though. I believe it is due to some sort of privacy issue."

I'm assuming some kind of music video. This is a popular dance/activity of some kind...I think in Jamaica. There was an epidemic of broken weiners as a result. (this is not a joke)
- Rahsheen?
Dude...that video is just...WTF. I thought I'd seen it all, but they're just blatantly miming all types of innapropriate shit to the nth degree
- Rahsheen?
That video made my netherbits hurt just watching it. :-/
- Hookuh Tinypants
Probably hasn't been heard of since because you can actually BREAK YOUR WINKY! Which is highly disturbing to me. Hence why I would never even think of doing this. I treasure my winky, along with a relatively small number of other individuals.

"Hold up - so if we are only able to upload one file now and you take care of the rest, what about the stuff that doesn't get taken care of? For example, we have one of the few shows that are available on TiVo. In order to get it to play on TiVo devices, we've had to upload two files to Blip over the past few years - one that you guys converted to everything else (our master file) and one that we specifically transcoded to support TiVo since none of the conversions that Blip did worked. Do you know if this has changed, and if your HD conversion now supports TiVo devices? Admittedly, it's been probably 2 years since we last checked."

"Hi Iris, Andru Edwards here - I run Mind Camp :) In a nutshell, the short answer is that Mind Camp is for everyone. It isn't a tech camp, or social media camp, or anything else that pigeonholes the event. It is literally, whatever is on your mind. We typically have about 6 things going on in a different room each hour. In one room you might have a talk about iPhone development, and in another you have Knitting 101, and in yet another you have someone brainstorming the creation of a new board game. After an hour, those sessions end and 6 news ones begin. As the event goes on, you are meeting people and learning about their passions, teaching and learning, etc. Everyone can propose a session at Mind Camp. You will get a session form when you arrive. On it, you fill out what you want to talk about. It can be *ANYTHING*. As technical as space flight and exploration to as simple as coming up with a new strategy for Tic Tac Toe - and anything in between. Hope that helps! If not - ask away."

Nice. I've wanted this since the first time I saw the iPad. Turns it into a Touch Book (http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbo...). It wouldn't be my primary case either, but I'd dump my netbook/subcompact laptop for it.
- Ken Sheppardson
I still vote for a trapper keeper. Preferably with neon colors and/or unicorns.

What the hell are you doing awake so early, veo.
- Akiva
I like my iPad just being a tablet. I don't want it pretending to be some other form factor.
- iTad
I like flexibility. Ati a $70 price tag I might pick one of these up for use in meetings when I really need to type fast. Outside of that I adore the iPad for not having a keyboard though. Touch is better than typing for consuming/browsing content.
- Sparky, lurking
My beef with the idea is that in order to not fall over, the base will have to weigh at least as much as the iPad itself. Which means bag-heavy.
- Nate True
What would be awesome is if they weighted the base with batteries and charged the iPad + powered the bluetooth keyboard. Combined with the already-good battery life of the iPad you could end up with a multi-day laptop for traveling.
- Sparky, lurking
That would be quite awesome. Though at $70 that is totally not what is happening.

Give me the Apple case, and I can type 90% as fast as I can on a "real" keyboard. Unneeded!
- Andru Edwards
I also type fairly quickly on the iPad keyboard.
- Nate True
from IM
I think after a couple rounds of improvements in the autocorrrect software, we might all be able to type FASTER on an iPad than on a real keyboard.
- iTad
I type fairly quickly on an iPad keyboard, but it's still no touch-typing. I get 40-50 WPM on an iPad vs 60-70 on a well-designed physical keyboard.
- Sparky, lurking
Who the heck is typing 70 words per minute in a meeting? 50 is sufficient! And iPhone 4.0 autocorrect is FINALLY awesome and on point.
- Andru Edwards
Haptic technology. That'll be what does it.
- Akiva
Andru - 70WPM is important when you need to quote people. For general notes it's not as important. One thing for meetings though is that typing on an iPad takes more of my attention than on a physical keyboard. It's easier to pay full attention to the meeting if I can let my fingers rely on muscle memory.
- Sparky, lurking
The one time I used iPad to take notes in a meeting I used the BT keyboard and Sparky has a point - it's way easier to pay attention without looking at the keyboard. But no need for a clam case; the Apple case propped up the iPad nicely. Plus the BT keyboard and iPad both fit uncomfortably in my SCOTTeVEST jacket.
- Nate True
from IM
But then you are carrying two things: a bluetooth keyboard and an iPad. While this case looks to make the iPad much heavier it's still a single unit to manage. Plusses and minuses, but at the same price as the Apple bluetooth keyboard I'd consider this a lot more seriously. Very interested to see how well designed the keyboard itself is - keyboard design is really important for comfortable touch typing.
- Sparky, lurking
I use my iPad for note taking in meetings nearly every day with no issues. It has replaced the yellow legal pad I used to bring, and I can type much faster on the ipad than I can write.
- iTad
You are coming from a writing perspective. I'm coming to the meeting discussion from the perspective of someone who usually brings a full sized laptop. The iPad is much cooler, lighter, and sexier, but it's not a good match for massive data entry as my Lenovo T400.
- Sparky, lurking
Guess I have never needed to take tons of notes like that. Thank goodness!
- iTad
What isn't captured is lost. The human brain pales when compared to silicon for long term retention!
- Sparky, lurking
If that's the case, then get some heavy duty mics and vid recorders!! :P
- iTad
Video recording is hard to index. Notes can be searched, and I only note what I consider to be important. It makes it easier to consume later.
