You don’t have to go to college.
Oh awesome. In Fall 2010 you can turn your iPad into a laptop.
Missing the point, perhaps?

Related PostsThis is the debut of Instapaper’s first ad! (At the end. But watch the show. It’s good. Make a “Watch Later” folder on Instapaper and save this there if you don’t have 10 minutes to watch it now.)
And it’s made by Jesse Thorn and Adam Lisagor, who are both awesome.
I love Put This On and it was a thrill to see Marco’s Instapaper ad at the end.
One small nitpick though, I wish the iPhone had been in Airplane Mode. Details, details…
Anything I could say about the Gizmodo/prototype iPhone/Apple story has been said, so I’ll just repeat Craig Hockenberry’s response to those defending Gizmodo:
Let’s put the shoe on your foot:
You’re drinking beer with some friends.
You leave your wallet behind at the bar.
Some stranger finds your wallet and opens it up. Inside is a naked picture of your partner.
That stranger finds a website that wants to post the picture and they sell your wallet intact for $1.
Your partner finds their naked body on the Internet. Shit hits the fan. HARD.
The site that posted the pictures looks at the ID in the wallet and calls up with an offer to return the wallet. “Don’t worry, all the money’s still there!”
Then that website posts another article saying how dumb you were for leaving your wallet behind. And instantly millions of people associate your name with a stupid mistake.
How do you feel now?

It’s like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
I missed this hyprocracy when I read this article originally. Thanks, Instapaper (which, had I not paid for, I’d be happy to have an unobtrusive ad in).
Will Wilkinson sent me this grab of YouTube’s auto-caption (which he delightfully refers to as “Mad Libs for deaf people”) on the Square promo.
Here’s another good one:
I’m pretty sure that’s not what I said.
It also really thinks that Square has something to do with the Senate.
