Apparently this Digitimes article is all the buzz over on Techmeme supposedly saying the rumored Apple tablet is delayed.

DAMMIT anyhow! I fully expected this new tablet to cure cancer, singlehandedly save the publishing industry, remove toe fungus once-and-for-all, and let we mobile users be much, much cooler than anyone who doesn’t yet have one (until millions have it like the iPhone, you know, THOSE PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON USING “XYLOPHONE” AS THEIR RINGTONE!).

Now it’s not coming out or, as linkbaiter PC World says, it might be dead? This blows.

Was incredibly pleased I stumbled across this video today since, what with the internet, I’ve been wrestling with what the TV of the future will look like.  ;-)

It is so obvious from even casual observation that consumption of oil for energy is continuing to accelerate. Too many people I know continue to choose gas guzzlers when they buy a new car, as if "someone out there" will take care of what's happening to world oil supply.

From the Economist:

A Developing Thirst

GLOBAL demand for oil is set to rise from 84.7m barrels per day (bpd) in 2008 to 105m bpd in 2030, says the International Energy Agency in its latest annual energy report. Transport will account for 97% of this increase as rising numbers of cars hit the roads of the developing world. Demand from these countries will overtake that of the industrialised OECD nations by 2030. By then, America, Japan and Europe will be using less oil than in 1980. But the thirst for oil will balloon in Asia—and in India and China in particular—where demand is predicted to rise by as much as 400% compared with 2008.

Always humorous to see one company bash another, but the Verizon red has one dirty little secret: it's CDMA and not compatible with the rest of the world and is not Long Term Evolution (LTE), the oft-termed "4G" mobile networks (AT&T touts 2011 as 4G rollout and Verizon network-wide by 2010….but we'll see).
