Apes With Apps - Ape building a vocabulary of thousands of words with ipad
- dhawalhs 14y agoHe is using a Motorola Xoom and not a iPad.
- foz 14y agoThat's because he's an ape.
- praxulus 14y ago"ipad," not "iPad." It's a generic term for a tablet.
- awolf 14y agoUh, no. "ipad" is an improperly formatted way of writing "iPad", a product by Apple. Tablet is a generic term.
- 10dpd 14y agoTablet is the generic name for tablet. iPad / ipad is an Apple registered trademark.
- hockeybias 14y agoipad schmipad. Who gives a rip...
- caycep 14y agoi'd better go xerox this then...
- boboblong 14y agoI have this creepy feeling that this post is part of an attempt to attack the iPad trademark (trademarks can't be enforced if they come to refer to a type of product rather than a specific product produced by the trademark holder). Of course, I have no evidence to support this theory, and I furthermore don't particularly care about the rights of IP holders. It just struck me as implausible that someone could really believe that "ipad" is a generic term for a tablet, and I wouldn't put it past corporate PR departments to engage in this sort of shenanigan.
- dr42 14y agoI was about to add that I would have expected more from the IEEE, but then I looked, and they actually have an accurate title. The word iPad doesn't appear anywhere in the article. Whomever retitled this, might want to consider reading the article first.
- reustle 14y agoIsn't this whole "let's change the title" thing happening much more often?

- mistercow 14y agoI know of literally thousands of specific apes (and have it on good authority that the actual number reaches into the billions) who have built vocabularies reaching the tens of thousands without the use of advanced technological aids.
- geuis 14y agoIn what way are you contributing to the dialogue here? This is an incredibly interesting topic and you do a disservice by not adding anything worthwhile.
- ktizo 14y agoI wonder if they could learn to code in scratch.
