And now for your daily dose of outrage

"World's first tablet for women." It's exactly what you think it is.

"The Tablet comes preloaded with applications so you can just turn it on and log in to cooking recipes or yoga," Mani Nair, Associate Vice President for Marketing at Eurostar Group, told the Jerusalem Post. "It makes a perfect gadget for a woman who might find difficulties in terms of downloading these applications and it is a quick reference."

And a bit of explantion:

However, Eman Al Nafjan, a Saudi feminist blogger, feels that this is just another way to give women information targeted at pleasing their husbands. She explained that many women are tech-savvy, and in countries like Saudi Arabia, women spend a lot of time online since they are not allowed to drive or travel without a male relative.

To get some of the bitter taste out of your mouth: Dad hacks Donkey Kong for daughter so that Pauline saves Mario.

Shouldn't a tablet aimed at women have more apps aimed at porn and giant robots?

[telophase]

Certainly one aimed at the women I know.

But it saves us all the trouble of learning how to go to the app store and download an app! Because we have so much trouble with that!

And as we all know, women love yoga! The magazines say so!

I like yoga with yogurt! We sit around and talk about it all the time!
