I believe it... but seriously if you forget to check your seat pocket before you leave the plane you deserve to lose it :rofl:

A while back, Quicksilver posted about a boy with developmental issues who's only "breakthrough" came with an iPad. We contacted the journalist who in turn put us in touch with Owen's mother. We sent them a mounting system we make for the iPad because we were so impressed with how a "pointless device" could enrich this little boy's life and we wanted to help out.

Hmmmm. You misspelled fogeys, and while we're at it let's make sure we understand the
definition of Fogie which is "a person, typically an old one, who is considered to be
old-fashioned or conservative in attitude or tastes."

With that definition in mind You better hope that at 95 years old you can still walk let alone
be willing to embrace new technology which by the way Yasuda is busy doing. :nanana:

Hmmmm.... nope, I didn't :nanana:

fogey(fo·gey)
noun (plural fogeys or fogies)
definition of fogey from Oxford Dictionaries Online


..no harm meant with the fogey reference .......so, put yer jacket back on and yer cane down....jest a little (light) tickle in the ribs.

Yasuda is obviously the anti-fogey (made-up word to save ya lookin' it up :nanana:) - the point that I was making. ;)

Cane? you gotta be kidding me. I'm looking to shoot my next music video on an iPad.

I guess the iPad is no longer "A solution in search of a problem" ...:thumbup:

You're kidding? Right???

We all know the cameras in the iPad 2 are sub-par. My compact Samsung camera, that can shoot full HD, could have shot a better video (in the hands of a better videographer than I).

Quicksilver 03-18-2011 11:37 AM

"Watch the Video". I never made a shouting claim about camera quality.
Just pointing out what the iPad was used for so "NO" i'm not kidding.
