My standards aren't even that high...but at least have something interesting; I'd rather see "cat uses new MS surface"...
 
Were it the opposite, Tom's would be reporting "Even Oprah loves the iPad".

As I'm not American I never got to see any of Oprah's programs, but nevertheless it's hard to understand why is she so influential on the internet. If she farts, there are always a ton of (non-celebrity) sites to promptly report it. Meh.

It's because she controls (or controlled) a very powerful demographic when it came to sales. If a book was on her bookclub or she recommended a product, you can be assured that it would get a large bump in sales and renown, even if without it was an excellent product.

you lucky sob. I envy that 9 word statement.
 
Yeah, the woman has nothing better to do than sit there twittering.
Let's face it, M$ PR folk contacted the Oprah PR gang, they negotiated a deal and then some flunky puts this up. Unfortunately he/she used an iPad instead of something from M$.
 
Oprah is so damn annoying, even if she DID love Microsoft Surface, it would certainly not make me want to buy one.

Obviously she is being paid to advertise for Surface, duh.
