Wednesday, January 27, 2010: a big day for America.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, yesterday we witnessed the unveiling of Apple\u2019s latest and greatest: the iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those of you who have been in a bubble since yesterday (doing homework perhaps?) we\u2019ll put it this way: Kindle+ gameboy +portable DVD player+ internet+ bigger and better APPS = the iPad.\u00a0 (I figured the math equation would make you feel <\/em>like you\u2019re doing homework, even though you\u2019re totally procrastinating).\u00a0 Since yesterday, the iPad has gotten more press than Paris Hilton\u2019s sex tape.\u00a0 EVERYONE is talking about it.<\/p>\n

Oh, what’s that? Something else happened yesterday?
\nHuh?
\nWhat?<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh yeah! President Obama. The State of the Union Address<\/a>. That happened too. After Steve Jobs’ big speech. Huh. Guess I spent so much time reading every last iPad update (and joke<\/a>: “If you and your friends all buy one, will they sync up?”) I sorta forgot that was going on. Shame, too; it was Obama’s first State of the Union address and seeing that he’s been dealing with a lot lately, it was probably a pretty important thing to watch.<\/p>\n

But who can really<\/em> follow an Apple announcement? That’s like being Angelina’s sloppy seconds. We all know that we should care what Obama has to say – we’re the people who got him into office, after all – but his speech didn’t have video, or 3G or really cool apps! And it won’t help us watch movies on airplanes.<\/p>\n

So sue me if I know every last spec about the iPad but have not the slightest clue what Obama said about healthcare reform; based on my most recent Google search, I know I’m not the only one who places fun new toys before the general well-being of this country. I mean, if anyone’s gonna save this economy it’s Steve Jobs, right?<\/p>\n
