I-Pad a gigantic ipod touch....

The Apple iPad is basically a gigantic iPod Touch.

The simple act of making the multitouch screen bigger changes the whole experience. Maps become real maps, like the paper ones. Scrabble shows the whole board, without your having to zoom in and out. You see your e-mail inbox and the open message simultaneously. Driving simulators fill more of your field of view, closer to a windshield than a keyhole.
One model gets online only in Wi-Fi hot spots ($500 to $700, for storage capacities from 16 to 64 gigabytes). The other model can get online either using Wi-Fi or, when you’re out and about, using AT&T’s cellular network; that feature adds $130 to each price. Price could be the determining factor for whether this device succeeds or fails.
There’s no multitasking, either. It’s one app at a time, just like on the iPhone. Plus no U.S.B. jacks and no camera. Bye-bye, Skype video chats. You know Apple is just leaving stuff out for next year’s model.

The bottom line is that you can get a laptop for much less money — with a full keyboard, DVD drive, U.S.B. jacks, camera-card slot, camera, the works. Besides: If you’ve already got a laptop and a smartphone, who’s going to carry around a third machine?

dont date this guy

Dont date this guy.com is one of the most ridiculous sites I have ever encountered. If you need to stoop as low as to post a guy you dated or are dating on a website, you need some real mental help. The women posting on this site should probably take a look at themselves and the issues they have before posting negative statements about a relationship that didnt work or never was. Get a life...

Free Movies

Today Professor Cagney showed us how he gets free TV online which I thought was very funny. I love the fact that he is not stiff and "upitty" about the way he goes about his teaching. I enjoyed today's class and look forward to wed class.

first day

The first day of CIS 120 was productive. I have already learned a few things that I didnt know before so I am pleased with day one. Prof Cagney seems really personable and knowledgeable about the subject matter, which is a plus. I think this class will go smoothly and I will learn a lot.
