Apple iPad

I usually don’t write about stuff with this much hype, but for some reason, I feel compelled to give my two cents on the subject.

I’m not very impressed with Apple’s new tablet, and many others were left underwhelmed as well. The months of rumors and speculation that hyped up the device and set our expectations too high didn’t help either. The name itself has generated a lot of laughs, and everyone’s wondering what to make of this.

Part of Pocky’s charm is all the silly commercials. (They’ve got a ton of commercials.) I posted a few before, but I haven’t checked out Pocky commercials in a while, so I decided to find some more. So, here they are; I hope you find them entertaining. ^_^
