Don’t be a Dick. It was a good story that exemplifies why Apple products are successful. People see them and realize that they fulfill a need.

It doesn’t hurt we already have an iPad2 in the family, so maybe they feel satiated by that.

I asked my 10 and 13 yo kids, “What do you want, iPad mini or iPod Touch 5?”

I am willing to spend an extra $60 each, for them to get the iPad mini.

Their answer, iPod Touch, because it’s just like the iPhone 5. You can put it in your jeans pocket, and it’s ultra portable.

So for this Christmas, I got them each an iPod Touch 5, for $270, after recycling their old iPods.

Amazing, one doctor trying an iPad mini in his lab coat and discovering it fits, is going to raise stock prices…. truly amazing. I hope the rest of the medical professionals are clever enough to figure this out. I can’t wait to see the looks of astonishment.

Again, how does the relate to kids wanting iPads for Christmas?

I was just at the local University Medical Center for radiation therapy. The doctor I met with after my session took my iPad mini and tried it in his lab coat. He looked in astonishment at the resident and said all doctors and residents in radiation oncology are getting these. It’s a good day to be a stockholder.

Bill Gates’ kids want the same things as other kids but in a cruel twist of irony being children of one of the world’s richest people will not put Apple products in their stockings. Shame.
