The Hindu, normally dead puritanical, has started featuring bimbos, honchos and stuff in kinda advertorials...
Their story a couple of days ago started off with this picture and began, "The last time that a tablet was so much in the news, it was blue in colour and diamond-shaped. The latest tablet enjoying the spotlight and one that has set the wires on fire, isn’t used to treat any dysfunction, but has sparked off a similar buying frenzy."
Now I am an iPhone addict and feel disoriented with a BB Bold. But I tried the iPad in a couple of places and honestly, I am unable to rave about it, except for the touch response of the screen. It is large, and kind of heavy for one hand. Its angle is not right for two hand touch typing unless you have a special prop.
HOWEVER. I am not a nerd focussed on the wrong things in life. I am totally clued into the more important question in THIS story.
- What is this poor girl with no clothes and only a giant iPad doing next to Manasarovar lake?
- Is she an extra from Chandnichowk to China movie who jumped out of the helicopter?
- Is she an ex significant other of Steve whose only settlement was a prototype iPad?
- Is she an ex KGB scientist trying to grow food out of a stump, water and an iPad?
- Is she an alien sent to smuggle out man's greatest invention to Mars?
- Is she the daughter of Ra trying to communicate across 10000 years and some light years?
- Is she a clueless witless bimbo who doesn't know how to buy shoes for a trek?
- Is she an Olympic surfer trying out the iPad for a skate board?
- Is she a Dalai Lama spy abandoned by the Red Establishment?
- Is she a Shangri La goddess come down to check out some new tech gadget?
- Is she the latest Bond gal waiting for her man with the gun, holding on to his gadget?
- Is she thinking the iPad is solar powered?
- Does she think it is a giant model mirror?
- Is she trying to locate the Kailash Cosmic Lingam using the iPad GPS app?
- Or is she just a waif-like holographic app on the iPad?
Make off with the tablet. Thank You.
