    CNBC analysts and commentators are morons, but you survived the interview!

      On the iPad’s evolution: “The battery life is still terrible”.

      Really? One of the main selling point of the iPad in its first few years is that it had a much longer battery life than most laptops.

      Nowadays it’s not seen as a selling point anymore since many laptops and tablets have an equivalent (or even longer) battery life, but I think it’s the first time I ever hear someone claim the iPad has terrible battery life.

    Thank God one of the three of you talked sense. US TV is impossible for me to have patience with. It kills brain cells watching.
