Is It Wrong To Get Sexually Aroused By A Slab Of Plastic ?

Actually, whilst we're on the subject, is it wrong to inflate some plastic, and pretend it's a woman ? Especially when that inflatable doll is about as lifelike as a plant pot. I can only say this, that if you were ever walked in on, enjoying a romantic evening with a blow up lady, then surely suicide would be your only option. Who knows, maybe they include a pistol with the box.

Anyway, I stray from my topic, which is the new Apple Tablet, pictured to the left, and which doesn't officially exist. Of course Apple, after their successful work with touch screen technology will almost certainly be working on something just like this. After all, other companies are doing so, and thus it's down to Apple to come along and design the only one that anyone will actually buy, and spoil things for everyone else. What is a tablet, I hear you cry ? Well, it's a computer, analogous to a laptop, packed into a super thin screen such as that in the photo. It has no real keyboard, but the image of one appears on the screen for typing. It will of course be designed primarily with the internet in mind, and will do all the things that all our phones can do now.

I've lusted after Apple stuff before, and from a design and sheer 'wow' point of view it makes me feel like disappearing off for some 'private time'. But I can't really say that I'm minded to buy one. With a virtual keyboard you can't really write for any length of time, and if I want a mobile internet device I'll have an iPhone thanks. But then I said that GPS would never catch on and I was a little off base on that one. I suppose that a mixture of ingenuity and clever marketing will convince me that I need something that didn't even exist a few months ago. But as of now I present it as an audacious feat of design and technology. Whether it becomes a practical solution for anyone I don't know, but it sure has a pretty mouth. Oh.

It would be a handy replacement for the clipboard. Which in turn would cease the need for pens in top pockets. That would save on washing powder in trying to get shot of ink stains, cutting down the amount of washing you would need to do. Thus helping to save the environment.

Or maybe you'll be able to connect it to your brain, so that you see the Apple logo fade in when you wake up in the morning ?

So have you bought shares yet or had an Apple tattoed on your butt?

I'm considering having an Apple logo tattooed onto the tip of my...tongue.

We've got quite different takes on Apple, so I'm thinking the last thing I want to see when I wake up is the Apple logo. Swap that for a lithe Amazonian beauty and I'm all in. I'd even consider buying one of those tablet things if it came free with a decent looking bird!

Apple certainly seems to be a Marmite type of product. They are a little smug for some, and I get that. They just do it for me.
