Apple more popular than State of the Union?

We are talking about it in the chatroom here. We have been for the last two hours.

edit :: Not talking iPad. But SOTU.

Well according to apple, they’ve just shit world peace.

According to trending topics on Twitter, Obama > Apple right now.

Well he is talking about iRack.

Tumblr puts Apple and the iPad far above Obama and the State of the Union, but good point @rangerr.

I could never get the iPad. Completely useless to me. I have an iPhone and a MacBook, why would I need more?

If I got that, it would be entirely for show, and I just can’t do that. :P

Besides, the name sounds like a person from Chicago saying “iPod”.

@DominicX The eye candy factor of the thing is incredible. Being a gadget geek, I could play with it for hours and just drool over the interface. I don’t really get it either. Without flash or the ability to multitask, it just doesn’t really work for me. At the moment it’s just a big iPod touch, nothing too special. People will eat it up, though.

Some people only follow political talk if there’s something big at stake. I know that I’d rather read Apple product specs than listen to the Resident jabber.

Also there are more people than Americans on the net, and the net is world-wide

@Sandydog what? nonsense~

Here’s a nice little article and graph on it. Looks like Apple did have more of an impact.
