The model of interaction with the iPad is to be a "consumer," what
William Gibson memorably described as "something the size of a baby
hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in
the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with
eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes
them sting. It has no mouth... no genitals, and can only express its
mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the
channels on a universal remote."
