My iPad is at the bottom of the middle column. It actually works a *lot* better with OS 26 but its battery is shot, so I am planning on some replacement anyway. #WWDC

Okay it's nearly 9PM after #WWDC what do you think? I think it’s bunk. But if they make siri work even a litter better, that is nice.
