Deron Williams decided to stay put with the Brooklyn Nets and signed a 5-year contract worth $98 million; while the money is certainly eye-popping, the cool thing is how Williams signed his contract-he used an Apple iPad and signed his name using his finger...

Did he use his index finger or middle finger?
Was it an iPad 1, 2, or "New"?
Incandescent bulbs or led?
What kind of table was that...marbel or laminate???

Who the heck cares what he used to sign his contract? The real story is the app, but there was no mention of that in the title. WE GET IT! YOU LOVE ANYTHING APPLE! Now can we have some actual news?

And when my avatar showed my love for both Apple and Android, you said nothing. Let's go back to that...you saying nothing.

Okay, let me explain this before it becomes yet another Android vs iOS debate...

I aam a true fan of ALL KINDS of tech from iPhones to Blackberries to even WP7 (somewhat). I may not like some of the things the companies do, but I love the products they make. There was nothing in my comment that was negative about Apple, iOS or the iPad. My comment was more like venting because EVERY time I come to my favorite tech site, there are tons of "Yay, some random person did some not-so-amazing thing with an Apple product" type article that has absolutely NOTHING to do with tech. There is nothing to be learned from this bit of "News". It's good to have a bit of entertainment about tech now and then, but screen captures of a BLURRY picture, that MIGHT be a schematic, of the POSSIBLE iPhone 5 is just plain ridiculous! And yes, it would be just as ridiculous if it were a Android device as well.

If I'm coming off like a jerk, I apologize...especially to Alan. F. I know you've got a tough job, because the Android fans are getting just as bad as the iOS fans, if not worse. But this is fawning over Apple's every actions or iDevice involvement is just sickening. Like an overbearing parent shoving their kids baby pictures in your face ten time a day. Its cute the first few times, but now its just plain annoying!
