    You've lusted after something for months. You've imagined it in your daily routine, showing it off to your friends (with appropriate oohs-aahs and jealous looks directed your way) and feel like once you've obtained this item that your life is complete, you have obtained the Holy Grail, and you couldn't possibly want for anything more. Then you wake up the next morning after that purchase, roll over in bed to gaze upon your beloved tech, then realize that you've made a huge mistake. This is what happened to media blogger Jeff Jarvis and his iPad. "After having slept with her (Ms. iPad), I am having morning-after regrets. Sweet and cute but shallow and vapid," Jarvis tweeted to his nearly 40,000 followers on Sunday. Business Insider reports today that Jarvis is planning to return his iPad and has spoken with several other people who also plan to return theirs. If that's you, you've got 14 days since purchase to do so, and you'll be charged a 10% restocking fee as well.
