I Know How You Feel, Stephen Colbert

I don't get to talk about him much here (and maybe I'll change that soon while I wait for the summer movies to start rolling out), but I LOVE Stephen Colbert. I loved him on The Daily Show, I loved him in Amy Sedaris' Strangers with Candy, and I absolutely adore The Colbert Report. I admit that when the show first started in 2005, I didn't get it. But I kept with it, and now it's among my regular favorites.

This week, he covered a very important topic: The release of Apple's iPad 2.

Oh My God, I Need It!

I currently own no Apple products, but I have technology-envy with this one. I have to say, the iPad is pretty sexy and without even seeing it, I'm pretty sure the iPad 2 continues the tradition (despite it's still awful name).

There must be some research need for the iPad 2, right? Let's see if we can come up with one to justify such a purchase...

Tomorrow's Apple Tablet Announcement

The web has been a-flutter with rumors and hypothesizing about Apple's impending Tablet/Pad/Slate announcement. Less than 24 hours now and we'll see if the device can possibly live up to the hype.

I like Mashable's post postulating that the idea of the Tablet may be better than it could ever be in reality.

Without fact or confirmation from Apple (though we now have at least semi-official confirmation that a tablet exists), we’re free to envision a world where Apple can breathe digital life into the publishing world much the same way it changed the music space. A world where Jobs can ride in on his trusty iSteed — wearing his iconic black turtleneck — and resuscitate the healthcare, entertainment, finance, and computing industries in one heroic maneuver.

You can read the whole post here.

And since the State of the Union address is also tomorrow (oh, and Lost premiere! Damn, tomorrow's packed!), check out The iSlate of the Union Address, a la Steve Jobs. I think it's my favorite web find this week.

Then again, it's only Tuesday.
