Review - Facebook's (Hidden) iPad App (and how to enable it)

After countless press releases and a series of public appearances, Facebook’s idolized CEO Mark Zuckerberg has made it pain stakingly obvious that he thinks the company does NOT need an iPad app and will not be releasing.

Today we have something with actual alive evidence, evidence that you can actually get your hands on. Something that Facebook has reassured will never happens seems to be in the works of happening.

With a gross margin of 41.7%, better then what analysts and the company had predicted, Q3 has been a very successful quarter for Apple.

Apple also sold 9.25M iPads this quarter, bringing iPad sales up 183% compared to last year and lastly Apple sold 3.95 million Macs during the quarter, bringing sales up 14% compared to third quarter last year.

D-BOX Seating: The next revolution of the movie industry or the next distraction?

D-BOX promises to be the next big leap in movie theater technology, but is all this technology in the theater enhancing the movie or is it becoming a distraction from the real art of movie making? Some major film critics avoid 3D at all costs and D-BOX seating is next on their list of things to avoid. They say that anything in the theater that is not the movie itself is a distraction, and although major movie producers and theaters are pushing this technology as hard as they can to attract younger guests, they may just end up streaming the movie in their living rooms a couple months after it leaves the theater.
