I’ve been a fan of Leo Laporte and his various projects beginning with finding the old ZD-TV and a kindred geek-soul while channel surfing. He used to joke that this was everyone’s worse nightmare: a geek with his own TV show. Apparently it’s the kind of nightmare that many of us would consider our dearest …
“Let me know how you like the ipad. It looks like a jumbo iphone to me ,” I’ve gotten this question more than a few times in the past few months. And most of us have seen variations of the following Doritos ad, punking the idea that the iPad is just a big iPod/iTouch. Funny …
