Ah yes – a little geeky Christmas dreaming: ‘I’m Dreaming of a New iPad’ to the tune of I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas. Here are the lyrics:
I’m dreaming of a new — iPad
So I can play – some Angry Birds
It will tr- avel with me
And might just – get me Kicked off,
a plane for Friends With Words
I’m dreaming of a new — iPad
So I don’t have — to look alone
When I wait in line, at a store… —
All the nerds will
Know I’m still hardcore
- Instrumental
I’m dreaming of a new — iPad
And I can’t wait for iPad 3
Come on, Apple, please hear, my cry…
Cuz’ a new, iPad,
I want to buy.
TUAW provide some further details on the song:
To get you in the holiday mood, consumer electronics shopping siteRetrevo.com has come up with a few tech-related "Nerd Carols" for your listening pleasure. The lyrics were written by Retrevo Director of PR and Social Media Jennifer Jacobson (AKA Retrevo’s Resident Poet), and put to the tune of some holiday standards. The multi-talented Jennifer also sings!
An iPad 2 has been killed by ‘testing’ it in lava at an active volcano, and the murderers have posted a video of the gruesome killing taking place.
Zoogue, makers of iPad 2 cases, traveled to Hawaii to commit their grisly act. You can see the full, gory, video at Winextra – it is not for the faint of heart.
I wonder which case Zoogue recommend for your iPad 2 when it’s a smoldering pile of ashes.
Ladies hats are always outrageous at Royal Ascot in Britain each year, but this one may take some beating.
I’m not sure how the green feathers plumage stuff ties in with the iPad, but I hope she’s got apps running that show the latest odds for the day’s races.

Marvelous. Being able to poor milk over people remotely via the iPad is one heck of a nice new feature.
Just in case you haven’t seen this one over the weekend.
I bet lots of you were worried that with all the current iPad 2 stock shortages, there just wouldn’t be a way to find a ridiculous, modified one that you could blow 8 million dollars on. Have no fear though, the folks at Stuart Hughes have got you covered on this one. They’re offering a strikingly ugly model featuring gratuitous amounts of encrusting of diamonds, gold, and some sort of stone from Canada that’s 75 million years old. Oh, and of course 57 grams of bone from a Tyrannosaurus Rex – just as Jonathan Ive always envisioned.
It’s called the iPad 2 Gold History Edition, and here’s a portion of the Stuart Hughes’ site description of it:
Uniquely designed and crafted by Stuart Hughes
Undoubtably the world’s most unique gadget is the Ipad 2 Gold History Edition. Encrusted with 12.5 cts of ‘I’F’ Flawless diamonds, a magnificent total of 53 individually set sparkling gems dwell beautifully in solid 24ct Apple logo with rear section formed again in 24ct gold weighing an immense 2,000 grams. The unrivalled imagination towards the craftmanship of the iapd is down to its main front frame which is made from the oldest rock the world has to offer in the form of Ammolite , sourced from Canada this stone is over 75 million years old. However to make this masterpiece even more individual, sections of a 65 million year old T-REX Dinosaur’s thigh bone was splintered and then shaved into the Ammolite , then finished off with ultimate jewel , as single cut 8.5ct flawless diamond inlaid in its own platinum surround with 12 outer flawless diamonds. A magnificent combination of top of the industry technology and unique thought were involved in creating this piece of History !. Material spec, 16.5 ct diamonds & 8.5ct single diamond, 57 grams of T-REX bone, 750 grams of Ammolite stone and 2000 grams of solid 24ct Gold. This item is of a limited edition of only 2 units to be made. You can also find other variations of this atwww.goldstriker.co.uk
Price – £5,000,000.00
Nothing says fine craftsmanship like product descriptions riddled with comical misspellings. ‘Undoubtably’ is undoubtedly not a word, iPad starts with a lowercase ‘i’ (for f*** sake, they could at least get that right), ‘iapd’ is also not a word but is a lovely butchering of iPad.
I think I’m going to hold off on this one for now and wait for the Charlie Sheen tiger blood and warlock hair model. I’m betting that beauty will come in at a markdown price of under $7 million.
