 I'm actually really excited about the iPad 3. There have been a lot of rumors about it recently. I actually wrote a post because we had some information. And I speculated in the post that the iPad 3 would be announced probably around the first week of March. And AllThingsD said March. AllThingsD then basically confirmed. Just copied you. I think they have a red phone that goes right to Apple. I don't know, but they seemed to always know. They basically said it's going to be the first week of March. But after I wrote my post, I realized that there's an extra day in February this year. There's a February 29th because it's a leap year. And Apple, they can get pretty clever. And I was like, oh, this is a perfect opportunity. They'll do something like, it's time to leap ahead. I saw that tweet. I was like, oh, did I miss an Apple event? Yeah. You actually thought it was a real thing that was happening. Was I sleeping? That's how good my, by the way, I'm thinking about just quitting to think up tag lines for Apple events. It's time to leap ahead. You guys are going to love this. No. But so I started kind of thinking, doing some research on what that, on if that lined up. And I looked at when the last two iPads were announced. And do you remember when they were announced? The iPad 2 was in March, and the iPad 1 was January. Yeah, so the iPad 1 was announced January 27th, and the iPad 2 was announced March 2nd. Now, do you know what days they did those events on? Apple normally does its events on Tuesdays. Yeah, and I thought they were on Tuesdays. But those were actually on Wednesdays. And February 29th, which is a day that normally does not appear, it's a Wednesday. Only once every four years. So actually, I've actually been working on something. If I can just show you. Hang on a second. Because I think I figured this out. So as we just said, iPad 1 announced January 27th, right? iPad 2 announced March 2nd, Wednesdays. What's interesting is 27 plus 2 equals 29. 29, as in February 29th, 2012, a leap year, right? You know something else that's interesting about 2012? 20 plus 12 equals 32. Now, by itself, that doesn't seem very interesting. But minus 3, as in iPad 3. And you're back to 29. Think that's a coincidence? I didn't think it was a coincidence. So I was starting to get pretty confident here. But then I realized something. Microsoft announced that they were going to do their consumer preview of Windows 8 on the 29th, which kind of throws a monkey wrench in the plans. But then I started researching the number 8. And it turns out 8 is a lucky number in China. You know what comes from China? iPads. And you know what's definitely coming from China? The iPad 3. Now, something else comes from China a lot of the time for us, which is rumors. And we actually reported on a rumor from a supply chain in China. And they described the iPad 3 display, which they apparently have seen, as a quantum leap in display technology. Quantum leap, as in leap year. Just wait, because there's more evidence here. Quantum leap is interesting, actually. So it's an interesting phrase. Quantum leap was a show that aired on NBC starring Scott Bakula. Now, I don't know if you know about the show. It was about a guy who time travels and jumps into people's bodies to right wrongs. It started airing in 1989 on March 26. 26 plus 3 is 29. iPad 3, 29. February 29, 2012. Now, when quantum leap started airing, it wasn't immediately a hit. They put it on Fridays. And it was kind of flopping. So they had to move it. They had to move quantum leap to a different day. And you know what day they moved it to? What day did they move it to? Yeah, Wednesday. They moved it to Wednesday. Now, sure, that seems a little weird considering all the other stuff we've seen. But the rabbit hole goes way, way deeper on this one. Quantum leap aired during a leap year, 1992. Guess what day 1992 started on? Wednesday. Wednesday. Wednesday, 1992. That's the first day, right? And in February of 1992, there was only one episode of quantum leap. One episode. There should have been four. I don't know why there was only one. But there was. And it was at the end of the month. The last Wednesday in February, the 26th. 26 plus 3 equals 29. Just wait. Just wait. Now, that episode, season four, episode 15, A Song for the Soul, was about Sam leaping into the body of a girl in an R&B trio. A trio of singers. And his goal in that episode was to get them to not sign a contract. You know what doesn't have contracts? iPads with data plans. You don't have to sign a contract with a data plan. And as we've heard about the iPad 3, it's going to have LTE, three letters, no big deal. I'm not going to get into that. But you can be sure that when it does have data, it's not going to have a contract. But this gets even weirder. And actually, when I figured out the next part, I really got chills. As I said, the main character in Quantum Leap was a guy named Sam. He's played by Scott Bakula. Scott Bakula was recently in another series called Men of a Certain Age. Men of a Certain Age airs on TNT, which is a Turner station. Turner also owns TBS, which is the station that Conan O'Brien is now on. Now, who took over Conan O'Brien's slot when he left the 1230 slot on NBC? Yeah, Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon took the slot. And you know what the first date of his first show was? March 2, the same day the second iPad was released. So I think if you look at all of this data, I think it's fairly obvious what's going on here. Clearly, on February 29, 2012, a day that should have never existed, Tim Cook is going to walk out on stage, joined by Scott Bakula and the cast of Quantum Leap, and he's going to introduce the iPad 3. Any questions? Paul, any questions? The numbers all add up. I rest my case. I rest my case. And I knew you would see how clear this empirical data was.
 I'm actually really excited about the iPad 3.
 There have been a lot of rumors about it recently.
 I actually wrote a post because we had some information.
 And I speculated in the post that the iPad 3
 would be announced probably around the first week of March.
 And AllThingsD said March.
 AllThingsD then basically confirmed.

 There's a February 29th because it's a leap year.

 I saw that tweet.
 I was like, oh, did I miss an Apple event?
 Yeah.
 You actually thought it was a real thing that was happening.
 Was I sleeping?
 That's how good my, by the way, I'm
 thinking about just quitting to think up
 tag lines for Apple events.
 It's time to leap ahead.
 You guys are going to love this.
 No.
 But so I started kind of thinking,
 doing some research on what that, on if that lined up.
 And I looked at when the last two iPads were announced.
 And do you remember when they were announced?
 The iPad 2 was in March, and the iPad 1 was January.
 Yeah, so the iPad 1 was announced January 27th,
 and the iPad 2 was announced March 2nd.
 Now, do you know what days they did those events on?
 Apple normally does its events on Tuesdays.
 Yeah, and I thought they were on Tuesdays.
 But those were actually on Wednesdays.
 And February 29th, which is a day that normally does not
 appear, it's a Wednesday.
 Only once every four years.
