Joe's Random Ramblings

It didn't take long for the disappointment over Apple's new product iPad to show up on YouTube.
No wonder, with a device that evokes memories of MS-DOS: no multitasking. The 80ies called: They want their single-user, single-program system back...
Add to that that there is no USB and no camera, it is likely to end up as a dud. Anybody remember Newton?

But the fanboys will of course continue to buy anything with the bitten apple on it.
For these people, Gizmodo has an appropriate (fake) ad.

I just came across this story about a TSA agent who planted a bag of white powder into a passenger's bag, and then pretended to have found it there.
This really leaves me speechless.
What idiots is the TSA hiring???
And all that happened to the guy is that he got fired???
Passengers get into lots of trouble when they make "bomb" jokes, and that guy gets off so lightly???
As far as I am concerned, that TSA guy fits the description of a terrorist, and he should be prosecuted as such.

Hat's off to The Register for the link.
