In Case You Missed It: Mar. 28 - April 3
There's a great scene in Being John Malkovich where John Malkovich himself goes through the portal that lets people temporarily inhabit John Malkovich. What he sees is a world made up of John Malkovich's, and all anyone says is "Malkovich malkovich malkovich malkovich."
That's kind of how iPad release week has been. There's no news this week almost that isn't iPad iPad iPad iPad. So in that vein, get a gander of our nothing but iPad articles from the week that changed everything, the best of Mac|Life's iPadarama.
It's All News:

- Microsoft Not Planning on Releasing Office for the iPad - Yeah, right. Bing is on the iPhone as an app and you're telling us Redmond's gonna pass up this easy revenue stream? Guys, just do what you always do: look at how Apple did iWork for the iPad and copy that.
