The New iPad


The New Apple IPad $499.00

The new iPad left me with mixed feelings. The product looked great. It sure looked easy to use. Portability is a huge plus. So what's wrong with it? Unfortunately for the new iPad, it's all been done before with gadgets like the iPhone or the iTouch preceding its release. Its just the same candy in a bigger bag.

I believe people expected the iPad to handle things that a laptop or a computer is capable of. The fact is the iPad is a digital NOTEPAD best suited for event planners, personal assistants, etc.. etc... the biggest misconception is that people expected it to take the place of the laptops. It isn't. I hope this first step will bring better things for the future generations of the iPad.

With that said... I will wait for Apple to make a better version... probably iPad Gen 3... by then the device will better suite the price.

*Remember when the first iPhones and iTouch were over priced... haha... lets wait a couple of years...

Mac vs. Windows

I am saving up for a new computer. Im thinking Mac. I've worked with Mac in school and I actually liked it. Its not as bad as Windows users make it out to be. Ive been on Windows for almost 10 years it has been an above average experience for me. There are times when I enjoyed it and times when i just wanted to throw my computer against the wall, LOL. I've had trojans and viruses galore. Thank God for McAfee eventhough it's annoyed me updating almost every day. Windows updates and McAfee updates took up about 50% of one of my drives. I think it's time to move on to a new format. Wish me luck.

When I think of Windows, I think of nerds, lol. When I think of Macs I think of nerds but sexier. Haha!

Windows: Nerdy
Mac: Sexy

LOL!

iPod Frustration

Ok so my iPod stopped listing all my playlist. When I plugged it in to my computer it said that iTunes cannot read the contents of my iPod and only had one option for me: restore iPod settings. So no more music for Mark. At least on his iPod anyway. I will work on it this coming weekend. Thank God my Boss is back.

Quick Voice App

I love this app. I decided to make daily recordings of my thoughts and feelings in addition to my blogging. There is something about hearing yourself talk about the things that you are going through. Somehow it's more powerful, it has a greater impact when it comes to self-realization, and self-awareness. I have a sexy voice.
