Apple to hold internal iPad meeting?

They held one in 2007, before the launch of the iPhone.

“Amazing things will happen”

An inspiring quote by Conan O’Brien:

All I ask is one thing, particularly of young people that watch. Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. It’s my least favorite quality. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and are kind, amazing things will happen.
