I haven’t gotten around to posting this video yet, but I think it goes without saying that as a Mac-head I’m pretty damned excited about the new iPhone. Which might be why I just pre-ordered one I got fucked by AT&T’s ineptitude, just like everyone else who tried to pre-order today. [From Apple]
![I think that calling it a “Retina Display” is just as silly as the next guy, but as far as I’m concerned, Apple can toss around all the marketing jargon they want if this is the result. [From patrickbeja.com]](http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/robcoyne/700900480/1/tumblr_l3zwwb3Ist1qzdr7k)

The Beverly school district is apparently run by Mac-heads
So let me get this straight, Beverly High School is requiring that all students have a MacBook, but they want the parents to foot the bill? Regardless of whether or not the student already has a laptop? A thousand points for style, Beverly, but minus several million for bad decision making skills. A unified platform is great, but there are better ways to do it than forcing people into something that might not be well suited for them.
Let me get this straight. Steve Jobs is the good guy who is leading the rebel alliance against the tyrannical oppression of the evil empire… but the iPad is the Death Star? I’M GETTING SOME MIXED SIGNALS HERE! To make matters worse, it’s all wrapped up in so much geek-tasticness that I think the lobe of my brain that handles tech-related awesome-processing is about to go the way of an old 80’s PSA. Wait. Scratch that. I think it’s just exhaustion. Nonetheless, I’m cognizant enough to realize that Han’s dismissive disbelief is just as priceless in this context as it was in the original. [From TUAW]
iPad + Communication + Magic = GANKED FOAR MAH TUMBLR. Some of the tricks are a little sloppy, but it’s a good message, and it all comes together at the end. Worth a watch for sure. [From Michael Simmons]
Suddenly the iPad makes a whole lot more sense. [From Walt Mosspuppet]
Well, Half-Life 2 is out for the Mac, and it came with an awesome trailer. I couldn’t think of a better game to mimic the original 1984 Macintosh commercial. TIME TO GO PLAY. [From @Viticci]
![Awhile ago I tweeted this picture while I was riding the MARC train to BWI. It’s a snapshot of the last paragraph in a reflective piece written by Stephen Fry in TIME magazine about Douglas Adams and the iPad. In honor of Towel Day I now provide you the link to the article which it was ganked from.

I think iPad + Velcro might just be the greatest combination of anything since eggs + bacon, with the one possible exception of anything else + bacon. [From Jesse Rosten via TUAW]
