You must really like her (or Apple really rules at marketing, or both), because that's a laptop.
Or I couldn't distinguish the bottom of the device from the sand because of my problems with colors and only saw the screen and a shadow.

Weelllll, there is the "problem" of what is holding up her tablet. I guess a post or a small rock could have been hidden from the camera, but she is just holding down the keyboard of that laptop.
That's not a problem. I thought it was sitting in the sand. Things can be set in the sand in such a way that they stand straight up.

Or I'm lying. And if you're going to say that I'm lying then please tell me what reason I might have had for lying and why I would say iPad if I most certainly knew that it was some kind of MacBook. I would love to hear the reasoning behind that.

You're on the internet, so you must be lying.

SALISBURY, Md. (CBS Baltimore) — It may not be so easy to pry an excited little boy away from his new Pokemon card set, but it turns out one grown man can allegedly get violent if you touch his prized collection.

That’s apparently the case for 29-year-old Kyle T. Burford, who police arrested on Dec. 22 after they say he assaulted his 5-year-old nephew for playing with his Pokemon cards. According to a release from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, after Burford made the discovery, he allegedly struck the boy so hard he knocked him off his feet and into a wall.

I would further engage in this philosophical discussion but there's no money in it.

Hmm...a trivial point on the relative uniqueness of that tornado in that pic--did you spot it?

[spoiler]It is anti-cyclonic, meaning if you were to look down the funnel from the top it is turning clockwise. About 99% of all tornadoes in the US turn in the other direction.[/spoiler]

No. NG called in their assignment photographers in from the field and announced lay offs and firings after the takeover by Murdoch's media corp.

Ah, OK.

In any case that NG photo contest took in submissions which presumably excluded NG (former) staffers.

Yes, Waterson is retired, but Gavin Aung Than of Zen Pencils is not.
