- 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.

- 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?
