Me: Hey, iPad! Mind if I install this cool KoboBooks app I’ve heard so much about?
iPad: Sure thing! Just gimme your iTunes password.
Me: I don’t have an iTunes account.
iPad: No account, no software.
Me: Ok…Let’s just fire up mail.google.com, so I can check my email.
iPad: Nope.
Me: No?! I can’t check my email?
iPad: Sure thing! Just enter your .Mac password…
Me: Screw this. I’m buying a netbook.
