There are making a 12"+ item, it's just not going to be strictly a tablet.
The move to a 64bit CPU was a step to merging iOS/OSX; this is the next logical step: a product to replace or supplement the MacBook Air, large tablet form factor with Apple quality detachable keyboard capable of running both iOS and OSX applications.

"Accidently" = Was trying to get an IT job, but was told they only "hired from within". Took a non-IT job, but found that most of the IT positions were "filled" by General Foremen and higher friends/girlfriends who actually did nothing...
I once accidentally worked for the US Postal Service for a year and a half and my job involved walking that much every shift; I must say that I was probably at my best physical shape of my life outside of military service...

Anything but douchery from David Pogue?
Bollocks! The cable is HDMI 1.4, so refresh rate is limited to 24/30 Hz...
People still visit yahoo's website? How quaint!
There's not a single show on ABC I'd ever watch; perhaps that's why they need to increase revenues...
My position is that I agree with the stated percentage of those polled that they did not evolve from monkeys.
