I notice that the ipad has now been out for a few hours. The earth has not stopped rotating, and the sun is still expected to set on time tonight. Any news reports on this being the first day of the ipad ? Will Apple's stock rise in monday (or does the exchanges reopen on tuesday ?)

You expected the Earth to implode immediately similar to the Republican "health care reform is the apocolypse" campaign promises? ; ) -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
