It appears there will be no long answer other than this email.
I posted a comment on the "Jamie Oliver" post which has not been answered---
"What happened to the Lenovo X301 two paragraph review formerly at this URL?"
I sent Ross Carlson an email which has not been answered---

Ross,
What happened to your two paragraph review of the Lenovo X301 as a
more viable alternative to the iPad? It once was at this URL:
<http://www.jasbone.com/wp/2010/04/my-amazing-new-device>
which still shows up in the upper right corner of your homepage.
The "Jamie Oliver" post comes up at that URL now.
Thanks

What is obvious is that for some reason Ross decided to change his
most recent post to the "Jamie Oliver" information without creating a
new post. In effect wiping out the original information while leaving
the link (and link name) intact. Or maybe it was SPAMMED?
Unintentional or deliberate? I'll never know and it is none of my business.
I sent the original link in good faith. I still think it is very good
information although both links are opinions. I would never have sent
the "Jamie Oliver" link if that had been there. It had no relevance. I
test all links I send for relevance and "it works".

With regard to the iPad here is an opinion I respect---

This is from Peter Morville of "Findability", "Information
Architecture" (the polar bear book) fame who talks about the UX (User

The UX (User Experience) focus is no longer technical...
