The thought process that went into making the iPad:
Exec: "Hey guys, since everyone seems to like our line of iPhones, I had a great idea....let's make one that's 3-4x larger! Bigger IS better, amiright?!?"
Design staff lead: "But won't it be unwieldy and have crap battery life?"
Exec: *Pushes button....DSL falls into pit of lava beneath board room* "Now where were we again? Ah, yes.....we were talking about how awesome this idea is."

We can design exponentially more advanced/compact CPUs/phones/video cards/etc, yet somehow we seemingly can't even design a halfway decent phone/laptop/DS battery.

By now we should be able to power a small country on something that size. It does reek of conspiracy, given that it keeps us consuming more of the expensive inefficient fuel sources we seem to cling to. A breakthrough is long overdue.

Well that's definitely the last time I do that, not only did I end up making a bunch of unwanted transactions on my credit card, but I seem to have gotten to the point when the sickness/vomiting/headache/dehydration the next morning is x1000 worse than being drunk.... I need to give up this habit
