..????...wonder where they hid the air stem?
**Did anybody here think of ...**
NO, but from now on, her articles should probably be named ... “iPUKE”
I thought it had to do with hemorrhoids. ;O)
Um, no... Must be her “brand”. This really IS a stretch. I noticed she said, “White Men” as well. Does she think if a black man were in the board room the name would’ve been different? It’s clear they called it the iPad because it’s like an electronic legal pad (OF PAPER!!!). Yes, I chuckled at the name, but that’s about it. It’s actually quite intelligent as it has gotten people talking about it who may not have given it a second thought in the first place.
Only Susan Estrogen thinks this way. Hers has wings.
Really, what I thought was how many more products are we going to see with the "i" prefix before Apple moves on to another marketing theme?
iPad. Big deal, it actually is a little less creative than you'd expect from Apple. It has the requisite "i" prefix and the primary feature that distinguishes it is a touchpad. Maybe marketing took the day off and they let an engineer name it.
ROTFLOL!
I’m female and I swear until 30 seconds ago the thought never occured to me. I think Susan needs some diversity in her life.
Oh good grief. Double entendres on the word “pad” have been around since fem. hygiene commercials. I remember as a kid, the woman on the screen beckoning “Come on over to my pad.” In those groovy days, people dug speaking in a far-out colloquial that included the word “pad” to refer to one’s domicile, usually an apartment. The word “crib” is used in some sub-cultures in a similar manner.

“Groan alert! Did anybody here think of “iKotex” when the “iPad” was revealed?”
No, and I don’t understand the juvenile mindset that seems focused on this association.
Does the “legal pad” suffer in the same way? How about “launch pad”? “Helipad”?
I thought iPad was the best name for the device, as a complement to “iPod”. Still do, despite the rampant Apple bashing over the name. Some people complain about the silliest things...
NO!
THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ANN INFERIORITY COMPLEX COMPLAINING BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO WITH THEIR TIME THAT IS CONSTRUCTIVE!
Nothing will please these people.
The definition of ‘pad’ as a tablet used for writing and reading pre-dates by hundreds of years the use of the word meaning a feminine personal product, Suzie.
As for your outrage at Apple’s choice of the name iPad, Suzie, I wanna show you something. It’s my shocked face.
From this perimenopasuel/menopausuel woman, who used to dread my monthly, could think of the term iTampons. LOL!
I posted a photo of Kotex to the below FR thread one week ago today, when the iPad was released.
Here's proof:

So is iTouch sexist then?
Susan can be iCracked.
“Groan alert! Did anybody here think of “iKotex” when the “iPad” was revealed? “
Actually, no. Mind you I thought the name wasn’t very good. But it did fall right in line when the naming conventions that Apple has been using for some time.
But on the other hand iKotex, that is an hysterically funny name and I will use it from now on. If only to my friends.
In fact after reading this post to my wife she made the comment that “That is so typically sexist of me.” So in the vein of being “Politcally Correct”, I hereby nominate the name iCondom for any slide in bag/holder made exclusively for the iPad.
Apple should throw a bone to Estrich by introducing the new Apple IDrunk.
No, that is not what I thought.
...but it does sound like something a juvenile pre-teen would giggle about. Are there ANY adults in the liberal party?
