Kitty Unimpressed with Android Tablets at CES
Miles, a cat journalist working for the MeowTechTimes.com blog, has so far been disappointed with the Android tablet offerings at this year’s CES. After three days in Las Vegas, Miles isn’t finding a lot to get excited about.
Polaroid? Meh. Acer? Yawn. Panasonic? No thanks. Vizio came closest to piquing Miles’ interest with their bevy of new Android tablets, but even their offerings made him want to go to sleep. (Which he did — he’s slept most of the trip to Vegas, actually.)
“I think Miles feels that most of the tablet spotlight this year is on Windows 8 and there just isn’t as much for a Android fan like himself to get psyched about,” explained Jim Stanton, Miles’ editor.
Maybe next year, kitty.

me: we should get a leg lamp, you know, from “A Christmas Story.” It’s a major award.
half-jewish roommate: i don’t know what that is. i’ve never seen that.
me: i can’t believe you’ve never seen that movie.
half-jewish roommate: you ever see A Hannukah Story?
me: (owned)
i didn’t really want anything. i don’t like gifts.
“well, it’s the end of december, so here are some gifts. now i’ll be poor until january 15th. it’s cool, i like spaghetti.”
bought everyone books (“you did that last year,” … but i’m a writer … “cop out”). drove to upstate new york to give everyone their books. forgot the books, handed out apologies.
re-gifted a digital camera i won after i stole an absent co-worker’s raffle tickets at the company holiday party. got drunk, took drunk pictures of my balls and the cabbie who drove me home (not at the same time), and forgot to delete them. merry christmas mom.
here’s what i wanted (a christmas list):
a moderately sized bong
some (finally) good pot to put in it
sleep
underwear
or a wash/dryer
a new apartment in which i was allowed to install a washer/dryer
success, fame, self-satisfaction
here’s what i was given:
a tea kettle
a nice shirt (i really like it)
pants that are too small
“the zombie survival guide”
here’s what i got:
guilt
the realization that i am much more broke than i thought i was
fat.
maybe i’ll convert. judaism sounds nice.
349 days til christmas 2011 (can’t wait!)
