Less than a month ago I was doing a videotaping job at a major event industry showcase for comedic talent. The 100 seater room was packed with a who's who of industry movers and shakers. To my right is a guy who talked non-stop about NBC likes this, CBS passed on that, FOX inked this, ABC is keen on that. To my left is a trio of 20 something producers for a major comedy festival in Montreal. In front of them is a 50 something woman maven of TV world. Almost everyone at some point or another is checking and answering emails on their keyboard equipped phones. The maven mentions to the 20 somethings that she's getting an ipad. The main selling point for her was the larger screen, to make it easier to read with her fading eyesight. The 20 something next to me responds, "You mean to carry it around, to events like this? But then you'll need a big puffy bag to carry it, right?" "Yeah, I'll have to get a bag for it." The 20 something says to his associate, "I need to stay mobile. Might as well bring my office computer with me." They nod in agreement. Apple will continue to sell to their already established 15% (or whatever it is) of the computer user population. Not that that's bad. And they'll have the fading eyesight crowd to sell to. That's good! |

It is a stiffer ride but NOT jarring, power to wheels is awesome, zero flex, new hood design and ergo bars are nice for hands too..
:thumb: I really like Cervelo especially the R3 which I almost bought recently but opted for an Orbea Orca since its overall ride feel wasn't all that different plus I got a better deal. |

Wrong. Not as many as you think will buy an ipad. True story:

62 hard ones (miles you pervs) we had some high winds, 20 + mph. Rode anyway. Sprinted a bit, hit 34 mph x2.

All the usual remarks, ride on the side walk, your gay, gave me the finger and drove off. I caught the s.o.b. at the next light and let him have it. Just when he started threatening to kick my ass, 5/0 rolls up. Turns out he saw and heard 90% of what happened. Told the motorist, who had pulled into a parking lot so he could get out of his car, "sit down *******". Looked at me and said, you can leave, have a nice ride. I could hear him laying into the idiot 1/2 a block away. What a moron. I heart me some St Clair Shores police dept. They dont fool around this is the 5 time they have come to my aid in traffic situations. they rock!

The degree to which you don't get it cannot be understated. Don't worry, it will be revealed to you. Right around the time Apple surpasses Microsoft, HP and IBM in annual sales volume.

Today at the High Point Hill Climb I sucked, I suffered, I finished 9th out of 13 mopes in the 45+, and the most astonishing part is that there were actually 15 men slower than me.
Actually, I rode a bit better than I thought, I was prepared to not break 30 mins. |
