I went to my local multiplex today and watched Inception, possibly the most amazing film I've seen since The Matrix. It just one of those "milestone" films. Just go see it.

However, the cinema industry is just shit-scared of piracy and today I experienced it's next step: bag searches. First came the "please report any suspicious camera use" adverts. Then came the "do you realise you're putting people on the dole queue?" infomercials. More recently we've been "thanked for choosing to spend our money and watch a movie properly".

So in it's latest battle with piracy, the industry demands a bag search from every twenty-quid paying customer to see one of it's movies.

The industry will end up on the dole queue because it chooses to treat it's customer base like terrorists whilst believing them to be pirates.

Fools.

Allow me to clarify. I hated what it transformed the iPad experience into. By trebling the thickness of the iPad, the case turns the whole experience into something akin to a netbook. The tactile experience is pretty much gone. Don't get me wrong, yes it's a great case, wraps the iPad up snug... Great quality leather etc etc. So I think what I want from an iPad case is at most a thin skin to protect the aluminium back. And separately, I'd like an iPad stand which is small, light, collapsible and allows me to mount the iPad in both landscape and portrait orientation - currently not possible with the iPad dock.

iPad infancy continues.
