Note that every aspect of each device that HP pulls out is a technical specification. It’s the size of the screen, graphics cards, ports and so on. No where does HP mention the experience of using the iPad as it compares to the Slate. There is nothing about ease of use or ease of installing applications. Most striking to me: no mention of the OS.

To be fair, HP doesn’t have total control over a lot of these aspects of the device as they’re the hardware manufacturer so it may only make sense to speak to what they can own. Additionally, this may be intentionally geared to the person who would be looking at the HP in the first place.

None of this is meant to be critical of HP, I just find it interesting to see what motivates a brand, and how those motivations manifest themselves in the final product.

About a year ago, 2 friends of Megan and mine we’re both have their first children and to celebrate we got them both these bouncy cows.

They looked both awesome and fun. Right? RIGHT!?

NO! They are NOT awesome OR fun! They are deadly attack cows hell bent on making children cry.

Victim #1:

Victim #2:

Two videos, two families, two coasts; the same dire consequence. I mean, they’re exactly the same! Laughing, laughing, laughing….boom! Crying. Literally the same video.

And so now we’re THOSE friends. Megan and Justin, injuring our friends children since 1992.

You’re welcome!
