Well did it bend? Or was a corner torn?Oh s**t I just dropped it...do you think my apple-care will replace it?
Pics please.
I think Arn shows a bit of class... something you might do well to learn a little of.

Maybe if I use some hot glue and some duct tape it will save me the shipping cost.
But then it would feel more like a Dell iPad...

well i have made one, and it is actually quite useful for checkin the size of potential apps, gives you a greater idea of what might work
Actually, the big printer (R1800) won't print at all with an empty cartridge - so i had to use the Office Jet workhorse and shrink it down since it doesn't do full bleed
The child used the hole punch to cut a headphone jack in it this morning - after complaining she was trying to play music on it and it didn't work, and did i possibly think they would exchange it for her
Thanks for the pic.Maybe if I use some hot glue and some duct tape it will save me the shipping cost.

Based upon others expectations on MR, it seems completely reasonable for AppleCare to cover this minor issue.
I mean, SJ would not want you to have to use a Dell.
People take things so seriously.
Ok it's on page 1 big deal. It's not like your first born was just decapitated. Calm down.

This thing is going to fly off the shelf....
If there is this much excitement for a cutout, this tells me that the real thing is going to fly off the shelf.
Verizon's / Sony new laptop (reviewed in Friday's Wall Street Journal, says that the Verizon / Sony laptop will cost $15/DAY to connect. That's per day.
The iTab will connect for $15 a month. A month. And no contract.
Apple's new business strategy: become competitive on price.

Next week, origami.
Excellent idea, with Bill Gates providing us with a "folding" walkthrough...but how to depict something that doesn't exist in reality?
How does Apple become competive with AT&T pricing? .. is that the same way Apple is responsible for all the network issues or is the AT&Ts fault alone?

Arn, I do hope you're having a good laugh at all of the funny and outrageous comments on this thread, and not taking any of the criticism on board.
As some TV executives said recently if we produced according to everyone's input we'd end up with a mess of a TV show, so we're going to keep doing what we believe is the best for the audience not what they tell us to do.
I actually think its good to have a little something different on MR over the weekend anyhow to encourage us all to lighten up and laugh. Even the most serious of papers takes a relaxed mood with their weekend editions to encourage us to enjoy the moment.
So... at the risk of encouraging more dissenting views, I say its good to change the tone on MR weekend pieces and topics for a bit of fun like this.

Underdeveloped
It would have been possible to make the corners round. In fact, with a bit of creativity, it would have been possible to have the back curved or tapered. It was such a great opportunity, yet it was messed up. Terrible shame!
On the upside, the actual iPad will never get so close to e-ink or natural reading experience.

Wonderful
This is a wonderful thing. All of us Apple fans can play with our pretend iPads. After it's built, make sure to fart in front of everyone to show them the kind of noises and useful programs the real iPad will make (of course the real one will run a stripped down version of an office suite that no one uses)
My Fake iPad is so elegant and it's just gorgeous!!!!
I feel so important to have my fake iPad. I bet all of you think I'm "cool" now!!!!
GOOOOO Steve!!! Thanks for making me feel important!

Gee take a chill pill. It's the weekend. I think it's fun made one up for the kids and they love playing with it. Gonna print another one to put on my desk at the office in th morning too.
If your not interested then just ignore it! Is it really that hard?

This is one of the saddest things i've seen on the internet in a long time.
"For all you 'developers' out there that can't figure out how big a 9.7" 4x3 screen is, and for every fanboy that needs to simulate how awesome it will be to finally get your hands on the world's most magical device ever, have we got a treat for you!"
And into the flames we go...
