That became even evident this week when The FBI announced the arrest of 10 alleged Russian spies living and working in the United States and a couple of years ago, when the CIA released World War II era personnel files, including one for chef Julia Child, who did admin work for the intelligence service back when she was Julia McWilliams.

So has the product lived up to our meteoric expectations in terms of changing lives and industries? Well, according to Steve Jobs who spoke at the All Things D conference there is one thing he doesn’t expect it to do, and that is to save journalism:

“We have a lot of goals for it, but one of my beliefs very strongly is that any democracy depends on a free, healthy press…I think we need editorial now more than ever,” he said. One way to overcome the economic hurdle is for people to pay for content, he added, and the iPad offers a way to have applications rather than just static web pages.

Sounds great but it hasn’t worked for everyone. GQ only sold less than 500 of its apps since its launch a week ago. Wired, on the other hand, sold 24,000 apps at $4.99 a pop in the first 24 hours.
