"Using the iPad is not 'just like a reading book' at all since books do not close when the reader is enjoying them in the sunlight or in other normal environmental environments," the complaint read.

Does anyone else think this is a stupid statement and there bases of the lawsuit ??

WOW im amazed at the greediness and desperation of some individuals. It makes me sad that people are always after the easy way out.
Dont get me wrong i have a little philosophy "Why walk when you can crawl" and if there is something that presents itself to me and is there for the taking to make my life easier, ill be the 1st to snatch it up, but i wouldnt go looking for the easy way out.

But back to the statement, i thought it pretty obvious, even before i had a chance to hold the iPad that it wouldnt be 'Just like reading a book' . . . Like how thick are some people. I suppose some mothers do have them :(

People are doing it too much these days, and very sad they need to blame others for there poor choices in life.

</end rant>

Cheers

Probably not much better, since he's getting rid of it. :)

For some reason, I pictured Steve in a more modern/contemporary looking home.

Steve Jobs, Jackling Mansion - 33,000 Square feet, not been occupied since 2000 and he is demolishing it and building a smaller more private house on top of the site instead...

Bill Gates' 66,000-square-foot house is built in the side of a hill overlooking Lake Washington in Medina, Washington. This house is well known for its design and the technology it incorporates. There are seven bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, six kitchens, and six fireplaces in his house. Especially, his house also includes a 60-foot swimming pool with an underwater music system, a 2,500-square-foot gym and a 1,000-square-foot dining room, which seats 24... Also has asked for planning permission to expand!!!

I would have to the agree with the "creepy" opinion. Looks like the set from an old horror movie.

To Buzzard2010:

The difference here is Steve lives at 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino. And he's hat home not enough to make having a mansion worth it. But Bill on the other hand can do whatever he wants and I'm sure a lot of his mansion is full with people.

Seems like a renovation nightmare. Although, the mansion would be great for a filming of Nosferatu.

I like the VHS of the God Father Part 2 at the end, what do you think the tape is underneath it though? Part 1? Or the tape from The Ring? ;P
