Apple introduces the iPad
It’s official: Apple has introduced the iPad. The Apple iPad is a tablet PC with a 10 inch screen, which basically functions like the apple iPod, only bigger. The iPad will have either 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb of storage. Most impressive is the battery life, which is rated at 10 hours, with 30 days of stand-by time.
During the announcement, Steve Jobs spoke about how the iPad fills a void between the iPod/iPhone, and a typical notebook computer. He also criticized netbooks as cheap laptops. There’s no doubt the iPad will be a huge success, especially for people who want it for media or entertainment purposes. The larger screen is superior to netbooks for movies, viewing pictures, and games. Of course, there are always going to be people who want to push actual buttons especially when typing a paper or writing an e-mail. » read more

Time “Person of the Year”: The finalists
Time magazine is set to announce its “Person of the Year” on Wednesday. So far, here are the finallists: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Barack Obama, General Stanley McChrystal, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, and the Chinese worker. Not much to choose from, is there?
If we were choosing based solely on cool names, I’d go with Usain Bolt. After all, what’s cooler that a sprinter named Bolt? If I had to guess, I’d say Barack Obama will be the winner. I’m not saying he deserves it, but he is the darling of the media. Plus, he didn’t deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but look how well that turned out for him!
