July 13th, 2009. I want my prize to be one of those miniature horses that you can keep in your house and let lie on your lounge until you yell "GET THE HELL OFF MY CHAIR OR IT'S GLUE FACTORY FOR YOU", but he licks my face with sugar-cube breath and I apologise and get him a blanket and a fresh carrot.
...but, July 13th, 2009, a month after Apple brings out their 115-hour battery, full colour e-ink, ruggedised, backlightable, 7" tablet (1/4" thick) running full-blown OSX with every publisher's books being sold at reasonable prices, DRM-free through iTunes. I think you can put my chances between "outside" and "snowball's in hell". Cheers, Marc |
