As I was waiting for the jury verdict yesterday, (I throw that in so you know why the blog got a little stale), I pulled out my ipad and started catching up on some work. My client said, “Is that an ipad? Those sure are cool”. I do think they are cool. Now, I have learned that there is a lawsuit that also says that they are hot.

     Bloomberg  reports that Apple is being sued over claims that the ipad tablet overheats and fails to operate properly, in warm conditions. The case is styled Baltazar v. Apple and is filed in the Northern Distict of California. (Oakland)

     I remember when steakhouse restaurants started getting sued, because people were slipping on  peanut shells, left on the floor. The next thing that happened, no more  free peanuts. I remember saying, at the time, that I understand that restaurants had a duty to make sure that the shells got cleaned up; I just hoped that they wouldn’t stop serving the peanuts. Sure enough.

     Anyway, I’m still fascinated with what the ipad can do. That doesn’t include the fact that there is still a lot that I have to figure out.  I hope that there really isn’t a problem; If there is, then maybe it will just take a warning that says “don’t take ipad to the beach” or “stay out of the heat, even though these things are pretty cool”.
