Men with purses... the new hotness


Ipad man-bags are about to become a reality.

I was thinking this last week. IPads are going to have to be carried in something right? That means that there's about to be Starbucks full of hipsters with man-bags... and armed rednecks. I think that this apocalyptic combination will be soon be the source of tremendous lulz... and gunshot wounds.

I don't like Macs. I'm not a stranger to the tech. I've used Apple products in recreation as well as at the office. They are great machines. They're just not $3,000 great machines. For 3k, I expect sentience... or at the very least games. The Mac fails to deliver on both these fronts. Now, they do some cool things. The audio and imagery tools are really outstanding. If you're a graphics artist or a musician this is the platform you want. If you're going to surf the web at your favorite trendy coffee shop.... you're a douche.

From where I stand, the IPad is a failure waiting to happen. It's that perfect awkward size, too big to be portable and too small to be functional. Unfortunately, that won't stop the hipsters from surfing the web on their shiny new IPad... that they brought in their man-purse. I weep for my generation.
