Should you get the Apple tablet?

Source is cute: flip a coin indeed -

    <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> 
    <script> 
      // Load jQuery
      google.load("jquery", "1.4");
 
      google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
        var decision = Math.floor(Math.random()*2)
        if (decision == 0) {
          var response = "NO";
        } else {
          var response = "YES";
        }
        
        window.setTimeout(function() {
          jQuery('#answer').html(response);
        }, 2000);
        
      });
    </script>

You know, they could have done something with user agent (up-to-date Safari, Chrome or Firefox gets a YES, IE or older versions get a NO, etc), reverse IP lookup (to determine if you're in a "techie" part of the country), etc. That might make it a bit more interesting than randomly picking.

Instead of flipping a coin, they should just have it point to yes with an affiliate link.

But then it's no longer clever.

Sure... the 3rd gen in Q4 2012, if it's still around.

seriously, what is the point?
