Cook holding a new iPad up for the audience to see: "Multiple logins? We've heard you loud and clear. Users want to be able to share the incredible iPad experience with their mother, their kids, their best friend. Up until now, that's just not been possible." ...he pauses for dramatic effect...."At Apple, we have the best and most creative engineers and designers in the world. We've had a team of 140...they have spent many many long nights figuring out the best, most seamless, and utterly beautiful way for you to share your iPad experience with others, without compromising your security, privacy, or individuality." ...again pausing...more pausing... "Today, I present the iPad Too." He pulls out a 2nd iPad that he has had stuffed down the back of his pants. He proudly displays two tablets, as if he's Moses... He holds them up high for everyone to see..."A totally secure multiple log in, guaranteeing no data leakage between the two accounts. This is Apple innovation, and that's why I just love the new iPad Too, and everyone at Apple is really proud to show it to you today. The new iPad Too. It's simply stunning."

The audience erupts in rapturous applause. Some are crying. They're holding each other, hopping up and down. Confetti and balloons rain down.

The Android and WinPhone8 fanboys lose their minds online. Servers explode. Anarchy.

There is real benefit to the child and parent for bonding with the baby during the early months (and years). Why bother to have a child if you're so eager to get back to work and not spend time with it? I get that you're pouring on the sarcasm (I'm reaaaallly hoping you are) but why not have a few well adjusted happy kids and parents to try to balance out all the unwanted/neglected wards of the state?

She realized that NO mom can really get much work done when constantly tired, permanently attached to said baby via the boob, or dealing with colic. So, may as well have the moms get some paid time off instead of pretending to do work and getting paid anyway. Makes sense to me. Dads are still getting the raw deal, but they may welcome the relief.
