    Handwriting recognition was an extremely difficult issue -- hence the Palm alphabet. Putting off the tablet meant not grappling with recognition. #apple

    But in the six years since 2003, it's no longer only rich guys that have plenty of other PCs and devices. Look around a college campus and you'll see 40% of the kids carrying Blackberries or iPhones; every subway car has at least one person reading a Kindle. Now that you can pick up a perfectly functional laptop for $500, a computer isn't a $2,000 uses-up-my-tech-budget-for-five-years... type of purchase any more. #apple

    @Astigmatism: It still astounds me when I pick up my sister from school and see a kid whip out his iPhone... then, only a minute later, whip out his blackberry. Now, is this for good measure, or is it just ridiculous? Or am I becoming an old fart at the ripe age of 25? #apple

    I think Apple is doing publishers a favor here, not the other way 'round. One could easily imagine dumping the NYT as a featured aspect of the tablet without much impact on sales. #appletablet

    The Apple Slate sounds pretty cool you have to admit. Tablet has been inexorably linked to to PC and Windows. It's obvious that Apple would want to create their own branding. #paperofrecord

    The only way this thing is going to save journalism is that when its initially announced, the so called "first-adopters" are going to buy subscriptions to the only available content. You're going to have X amount of smug Apple geeks paying a year's subscription until the thing is a) hacked or b) the Times folds. #paperofrecord

    He's just trying to live down that Daily Show appearance. Although if that's a shot of his Apple tablet, The Stones' "100 Years Ago" is an appropriate song:

    Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles

    The Disneyfication of Times Square actually has a legit Disney root... they purchased, shut down, and cleaned up several grindhouse theaters in the early 90's along 42nd street. I recall walking through there right after it began... the boarded up theaters were painted bright, cheery colors.
