In case you didn't already know it's here! My Waccom Tablet is here and I have drawn something one it. It's not very good, but for the first time I'm happy with it. It will also look better when I shrink it to stick it together with the other half of the drawing I'm going to draw later.

I will not be posting all furture drawing here before I finish editing them so no worries. I was just proud of myself for figuring the tablet out. Not that it was hard, but the last time I used a tablet I was 8 so yeah, is proud of self.


Yeah, so I am happy. Even though I'm about to go on a 5 minute rant.



Reasons the iPad Sucks:


1.) It's misnamed.
A. They call it a TABLET computer.There is not such thing. Pervious computers of this kind were called touch screen. You've never heard of them before? That's cause they failed, like FAILED. I see not wanting to be associated with that, but as we just established no one really knows about them except for a very few geeks. Anyway, we all know that up until now Apple has made good stuff why would judge them based on other people?

B. Also tablet made me think Waccom Tablet, so I was expecting a... you guessed it tablet. Come one lets face it there was basically no reliable information about the stupid thing until it came out. Also I've had buying a tablet that will work with my Mac on my mind for months so while no the soundest conclusion it was the one I came to. I'm disappointed. Luckily they have adapted Waccom to work with Macs now, but I would've preferred one made by Mac. After all the reason PC's sucked (<- Yes, past tense they are getting better.) for art is that none of their software and drivers were programmed by the same people.

C. Oh, yes I have a lot for this one. Tablet COMPUTER, ok, it's not a computer unless you mean computer as in my gameboy is technically a computer and so is my iPhone. No, word processing, spread sheet, or slide show program, no computer end of story. The keyboards bigger, but there is not point unless you're going to type something longer than a web address.


2.) The only part of the name they did get right was the pad. iPad modulated for those with special levels of neediness. No, Cuddy I did not just compare Wilson to a tampon I was talking about the iPad. (<- >.< ; bad House MD quote.) It's not a computer, it's not a phone, it's not a camera, so what is it?

A. It's a giant game system for games we could already play with no improvements to the operating system or graphics.

B. It's a catchall for anyone who missed the iPhone or the iTouch. Don't worry this time we made it so big you can't miss it when you walk into the store. I think someone has been listening to the Republicans too much. I don't care what Congress says there is no such thing as too big to fail. Haven't you ever heard the bigger they are the harder they fall? Much more time tested than the saying they made up last week.

C .It's bigger...so what? It's too big (aka awkward) to carry around well, especially with that huge glass screen. It's just screaming to be cracked.


3.) Apparently (this is just what I've heard) it cant' run more than one application at once. Seriously?

Conclusion: Unless you're really old and need large print than just get an iPhone or iTouch. e.e iPad is not at all ground breaking, only slightly more ergonomic.
