I never understand this kind of thing. It's like someone saying "I can never buy a Honda because it just can't tow all the things I tow on my farm, or drive through deep mud." But then he drives his F350 every day 30 miles and back from home to town to do errands and get groceries getting 12 miles to the gallon. Most people would (and do) get a efficient small car for that sort of thing. The fact is, the iPad is mostly a content consumption product. It's REALLY REALLY good at being that. Sure you can get some things done on it, too, but that's clearly not the intent of this design. If you need power to crunch your data and be "300%+ more productive" then sure you need your F350 for the time and place where it's appropriate....

Is a sketch comedy series that sees Jon Benjamin play a reporter of sorts who gets into wacky situations with comedic outcomes. On its surface it’s a silly jokey news show parody thing, sort of.

The first episode opens with Jon interviewing a soldier who lost his voice in the war. Jon soon discovers that he actually lost his voice from screaming so much at the thought of going to war, and never went to war. It seems like the sort of one note joke that a sketch show would throw out there and toss away, but Jon Benjamin pushes this joke, and most of the others, further than most shows would. This sketch comes to its naturally conclusion with an American flag waving in the background as various veterans say “I lost my leg in the war” culminating with this soldier saying “I lost my voice thinking about being in the war.” Silly? Sure. Hilarious? Definitely.
