Apple proves itself a bunch of brilliant jerks With new $2,300 iPad Pro #Techzoo

All of a sudden there's a patch of lighter-than-the-rest pixels at the bottom of the screen, and I can't stop looking at it. It's the proverbial fly in the ointment, the stain you can't remove: a reminder that even mighty Apple technology will break down and die, faster than you'd like. 

So when Apple came calling with a new iPad Pro lineup Tuesday morning — without mentioning it costs more than $2,300 at the upper end —  I was probably more vulnerable to the sales pitch than the average fanboy.
