“Barclays predicts:

That consumers will buy 15 million tablets this year and 28 million in 2011, and that Apple will hold onto a 75 percent market share next year;
That the rise of tablets will indeed cut into PC sales, primarily in the netbook/notebook market–enough that Barclays is cutting its PC sales growth estimate for 2010 from 21 percent to 19 percent (still, as Steve Ballmer would say, 19 percent!).

“Quick, call for help! It’ll be back by sunset!”

“No signal! Shit! It’s gonna get us!“

“Dude, you’re holding it in your left hand.”

“What?!”

“You’re covering the little antenna thing on the bottom there.”

“Fuck, that’s right. I mean, I know it’s a cool design, but you’d think they’d test the hell out of it.”

A much more likely outcome is that they’ll settle with you prior to the hearing. All it takes is a few people to do this, and then blog about it and/or post info on social networking sites.
