It is well known that you can email Steve Jobs at sjobs@apple.com. It is less well-known that he sometimes responds. He has been doing this a lot lately. Come on, everybody, let's email Steve Jobs!

We already know it's Hollywood's biggest night. Now, Silicon Valley is having an event of its own. Why? Because Apple just debuted its first iPad commercial during the initial break of the Oscars telecast. Inside, video of the 30-second spot.

Click to viewApple has been trying to keep scantily-clad women out of the iPhone app store. It's a hypocritical crackdown, with apps from Playboy and Sports Illustrated given a free pass. And it's going to ruin the iPad for magazine content.

We know that Apple's CEO is no fan of Flash, the Web animation software. But it sounds like Steve Jobs really unleashed on the Adobe system to try and convince the Wall Street Journal to ditch it for the iPad.

The New York Times's bizarre idea to perhaps double the price of its electronic edition for Apple's iPad — to $30 per month — is just the latest chapter in a long internal fight over pricing versions of Times Reader.

It's not yet clear how well the app will perform on Android devices or as an iPad app, as our colleagues at Gizmodo point out — or whether Apple will even allow the Wired app on its tablet device. Then there's the question of pricing. Wired editor Chris Anderson mentions getting people to pay for content in the video, but figuring out how much to charge for a brand-new digital category is, as the New York Times has learned, quite tricky. In any case, this slick-looking app sure beats out Sports Illustrated's imaginary tablet edition. Sorry, jocks. This is an away game for you.

There's a heated turf war going on inside the New York Times over the iPad, pitting print die-hards against people focused on the Times' digital future. The outcome will determine pricing for some marquee content on Apple's tablet.

Sports Illustrated was the first magazine to make a splash with a demo on a tablet computer; now, Interview has rolled out its own iPad demo. Looks good! Check back in six months to see if anyone uses it. [HuffPo]

Daniel Tosh is is given the opportunity to play around with an iPad before its official release. But he doesn't want to read a book or play any games on it—He wants to drive that sucker.

Mondays are the worst. Everyone hates them and you hate everyone when it is Monday. Luckily we have you, our loyal and would-totally-kill-for-us-if-we-asked-you-nicely commentariat. Here, recognition junkies: Two of our favorite comments from this terrible, terrible Monday.

There was inevitably some cultural friction when Apple's secretive CEO took his new iPad around to New York's professionally indiscreet media. Exhibit A is a single tweet from a Wall Street Journal editor, which purportedly made Steve Jobs go ballistic:

Steve Jobs reportedly followed up his New York Times and Wall Street Journal iPad show-and-tells with a secret meeting with Time Inc. 99 cents for funnyman Joel Stein's latest musings will save journalism!

Steve Jobs visited the Wall Street Journal and New York Times in recent days, say sources at the papers. Also, New York reports the Apple CEO showed up for a secret media dinner.

In your slushy Wednesday media column: Keith Olbermann sniffs out media bias whether it exists or not, a way to save magazines in fantasyland, PARADE's editor leaves, and Air America totally owes media people money.

Only once a generation does a product come along that is so useless, with such a terrible name, and so universally disliked that even people with absolutely no sense of humor can endlessly mock it. That product? The iPad.

If Steve Jobs keeps this up, he may yet set off the biggest corporate flamefest in Silicon Valley: Googlers past and present are pushing back against the Apple CEO's trashing of their corporate motto.

Ha, just kidding: The Grammys® are a superslick celebration of America's soulless musical-industrial complex, so what's a little shill for Apple? Onstage tonight, Grammy host Stephen Colbert became one of the select few humans who have touched an iPad.

Moments ago at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Stephen Colbert presented the award for Song of the Year. One problem: he couldn't find the list of nominees. The Colbert solution? Look them up on the iPad! The hilarious video, inside.

Wired's Epicenter blog posted last night on an employees only post-iPad conference at Apple HQ with Steve Jobs, where the iJefe got feisty on matters regarding Google's iPhone battle, and the failings of Adobe. In other words: REAL TALK.

Remember Apple's classic '1984' ad campaign? Funny how they ended up employing Big Brother's turn-and-burn on the truth, the difference being: George Orwell labeled it "doublespeak," and Apple passes it off as advertising.
