Happy New Year, everyone!<br><br>Wow, if this tablet thing is real, just think of the possibilities!<br><br>- It'll be too big to drop into a pitcher of beer. :)<br><br>- It'll so big that you would not want to drop it on your foot. First broken toe will make national news.<br>
<br>- Look for a CMU startup to create a device that will integrate with the Sudden Motion Sensor and deploy ..... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G75kQm7pSE">airbags</a>.<br><br>- What clothing maker will be the first to produce pants with a REALLY large pocket? Perhaps a resurgence of bib overalls?<br>
<br>- Seriously, I will caution early adopters: Do NOT place your Computing Device Where Someone May Sit. I've seen too many hyper-extended laptops in my life. Imagine the sound of a $Grand cracking. Yes, just imagine it, you certainly won't want to HEAR it.<br>
<br>- I am sure that neither the warranty nor AppleCare will cover the event of a "soft meteor" impact. Or maybe that airbag system will detect an Impending Impact and take preventative measures.<br><br>That's it for now. Safe computing in 2010!<br>
