Four on the floor...

1. We were first and we were right! Reports continue to saturate the Internet about the disappointment of Apple's new iPad. And people are bitching about the same things we bitched about last week. It's bastard size (roughly 8x10) makes it just as cumbersome as lugging around a laptop. If the damn thing doesn't fit in your pocket, what's the point. (Is that an Apple in your pocket or are you happy to see me?!?)

2. More Apple stuff! It will soon be announced that the aforementioned iPad will be available on the Verizon network. And that will undoubtedly fuel more rumors that the iPhone will also be available via Verizon this summer. When that happens, we are definitely on board.

3. The Sixers are looking to deal! The latest rumor we came across was one involving the Cavaliers. Andre Igudala and Shaq (or, rather, Shaq's expiring contract) were the main pieces. We've never been in Iguodola's corner, but we freely admit on a good team he would be a huge asset. As such, Philly would need to get back more stuff in return. Cleveland's first round pick will be worthless, so how about adding Anderson Varejao? That would grease the wheels for trading Samuel Dalembert.

4. Why does Secretary of Treasury Tim Geithner continue to hold down a job?!? Our Cigarette Smoking Prez has been BFF with former fed chairman Paul Volcker in recent weeks and speculation is he may be squeezing out old Timmy Boy. We're not real big on Volcker, either (good gawd, man, he was put into power by frigging Jimmy Carter!), but he can't be worse than Geithner. While on the subject of COIN, The Marlboro Man may as well get rid of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, too. And we humbly submit the name of one Henry Blodget.
