Ah, I get it! Since I live up in the woods (a rural environment), where portable space is at a discount (meaning in abundant supply), I can just tote my Mac Pro with me! Who needs an iPad!
Genius.
Or a MacBook Pro for instance.

Hey Steve! While you were in the big apple, did you have occasion to use your iPhone? If so, how many calls did you drop? Assuming you had any signal to begin with inside the restaurant.
" It was one of those head-gears of composite order, in which we can find traces of the bearskin, shako, billycock hat, sealskin cap, and cotton night-cap; one of those poor things, in fine, whose dumb ugliness has depths of expression, like an imbecile's face. Oval, stiffened with whalebone, it began with three round knobs; then came in succession lozenges of velvet and rabbit-skin separated by a red band; after that a sort of bag that ended in a cardboard polygon covered with complicated braiding, from which hung, at the end of a long thin cord, small twisted gold threads in the manner of a tassel. The cap was new; its peak shone."
Ah, "Madame Bovary's" New Fellow's hat! Probably an apt description as any for Mr Steve's cap. Nice to see a bit of classical writing invoked while discussing the fate of the daily printed rags we have to deal with these days. Journalism has certainly fallen upon hard times when it must look to new technological marvels for it's salvation. Heaven forbid that the quality of it's writing shouldn't be enough to ensure it's commercial success!
I believe he used a new app called "sentences". It produces nonsensical sentences that appear to mean something.
....For example "Love is the creation of spirituality at the origin". Appears to actually mean something but means nothing.
Actually "Love is the creation of spirituality at the origin" does mean something, your just not able to grasp the concept due to a lack of experience the writer had that you didn't have.
Since I had a some related experience, I know what the writer is saying.
I'll give you a hint though, Christians like to use the phrase "God is Love" to explain their highly charged spiritual mental state, which is a bliss of Love for their fellow convert and to God. Which is what draws a lot of people into the religion in the first place.
I know from Sociology that man is a herd animal and needs to form groups, therefore religion is used to sync the group along a similar mindset. This works across religions apparently because man has the same need to form groups to love each other.
The writer is essentially conveying a spiritual experience of love he/she felt when first converted.
So just like if I started speaking in chemical terms:
"A molecular entity is any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, radical, complex, conformer etc., identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity."
You might not have the experience to grasp that definition and would appear as nonsensical.
Put mango, yogurt, milk, sugar and cardamom into a blender and blend for 2 minutes, then pour into individual glasses, and serve. Can sprinkle with a little cardamom.
The lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Makes about 2 cups.
If you live somewhere you can't get fresh, ripe mango, you can sub canned mango pulp for the chopped mango and the sugar. It'll give your lassi that awesome day-glo orange Indian restaurants make it with.

Let's wait until Steve Ballmer actually introduces a revolutionary new device.
As if the iPad is?
And you forgot the quotation marks around "revolutionary".
As if the iPad is?
.....revolutionary or "revolutionary"?
.....revolutionary or "revolutionary"?
Jobs or Ballmer?
Jobs or Ballmer?
Hmmm, more likely a false equivalence.
When you have to go to those extremes after you've launched your next "revolutionary" device then you know Apple is in BIG trouble.
Imagine what you'd being saying if Steve Ballmer was doing that for whatever reason.
Besides, you can get a subscription to the New York Times right now, today, on any Kindle.
Charging for content and slipping into irrelevance, or getting onto the iPad train for a renewed shot at greatness.
I think we know who needs who here.
If Apple isn't distributing your content, your content isn't getting distributed. Just like the music industry, the print industry needs Apple.
Steve Ballmer? Microsoft? They don't have anything to show in the first place.

The big question is, why does the New York Times have 50 freaking executives?
Hillarious!
Huh? What does that mean?
Are you even aware of what you write?

This technique is popular for shirt designs here in Japan.
For example "Love is the creation of spirituality at the origin". Appears to actually mean something but means nothing.
p.s. The Mango Lassi is VERY popular in Japan.
tekstud, is that really you? Great to have you back!
Now fuck off...

When 'Pirates' ends, the story hasn't even begun yet.

How does getting on the "iPad train" change any of that?
