iPad Apple's Way Of Reaching Out To Women

HA! All Tech contributor Omar Gallaga wrote a great post about rejected names for Apple's new tablet computer, but I know he didn't see the OTTERBOX IPAD 4 CASE coming! Good thing Mad Tv did way back in 2006.
I'm assuming there were no women on the naming team at Apple. Because, hey, when women hear or read the word pad, we think Kotex and cramps. I wouldn't mind the name so much if I could buy one at my local CVS.
The twitterverse is already full of IPAD 4 CASE jokes. Here are some of my favorites:
@getsmartradio: is it really called iPad? Did Apple merge with Kotex
@KristinaWeise: The #iPad - too easy to insert a woman's comment here. "Much more intimate than a laptop and more capable than a smart phone," Jobs said.
@twifftwin: the OTTERBOX IPAD 3 CASE  sounds like a feminine hygiene product for robot ladies.
Thank you for the laughs Apple! Can't wait to see what you come up with next — hopefully the iPon — for the younger, hipper women who also love Apple products.

Surviving Bee Gee Barry Gibb unveils bronze statue of the band… at the opening of commemorative walkway in Australia

They were three bothers – Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb – who set the charts alight with their tight harmonies and disco tunes. And on Thursday the last surviving Bee Gees member Barry cut a lonely figure as he unveiled a tribute to the band in Redcliffe, Australia, where they first formed.

That's how we all lived.’   The Philip Piperides sculpture was inspired by a photo of the trio making music in their backyard circa 1959, shortly after they emigrated there from Manchester. The walk way is a 50 metre lane linking Redcliffe Parade to Sutton ...
