iPad shows up paper books
Plain text is boring to kids. Heck, it’s even boring to grown ups! If books of the future are all going to look like this digitally remastered Alice in Wonderland iPad app then I’m saying that paper books’ days are numbered.
For me, this is like comparing a picture book to a pop-up book - there’s just no contest!
I really can’t wait to see how text books are handled with all these upcoming tablet devices making their way down the pipelines.

Reminder - Original Xbox Drops LIVE Today
In case you’ve forgotten, the original Xbox is dropping LIVE support, meaning that you can’t play online at all with any original Xbox game. This also extends to the Xbox 360’s backwards compatibility and the games that you’ve purchased in the Xbox Originals section of the marketplace. In other words, kiss playing games like Halo 2 online goodbye.
While we aren’t totally sure, the servers seem to be going down at around 12PM PDT. Many players will be getting in their final moments of Halo 2’s online matchmaking tommorow night with Bungie even joining in on the fun. So what are you going to do?

Day in the Life: Kin-Less
Day in the Life: Kin-Less
A “Day in the Life: Kin-Less” is Engadget’s take on the new Kin commercials. We must say, compared to what Microsoft’s created we’d choose to watch Paul Miller over a hussy in a bar anyday.
Will it convince you to purchase a Kin device? Honestly, no! But you’ll laugh along the way, and that’s all that matters, right? — Read More

Opera Mini for iPhone hands on Video Review
This is a miracle app, and it is maybe the best thing that has happened to the app store - God knows why (or how) Opera managed to squeeze past the gaze of Mr. Jobs and squeak into the App store, and become #1 in the entire app store (free) the day of launch. This is an amazing app, not just because its fast, but because Apple may think so too - Review after the break!

Become the President by switching to At&t
Become the President by switching to At&t
You never know which moment will be the moment - Rethink
They’ve got the iPhone, but they have spotty coverage; Being on At&t’s network has its ups an downs, but they’ve got all the other carriers beat if they can inadvertently make the future President of the United Sates.
Verizon, our balls are in your court.

New 2010 Macbook line specs and details
Apple has done it again - they have updated a product just enough that we all want one so bad! They have taken the shiny Macbook pro’s and stuffed them all with Core i5 and i7 CPU’s and a surprising claim of 10 hour battery life. It all sounds so good and you want to know everything, so here it is!
Details after the break!

Microsoft's new Kin One and Two devices: An in-depth look
For some time now Microsoft’s Pink devices were sheltered from the harsh reality of human existence; however, that’s now destined to change forever. Announced today, Microsoft made official that their Kin phones (formally known as Pink) will be hitting the market sometime in the near future. Aimed at teens and tweenies (that’s early twenty’s for you none cool cats) both Kin devices aim to provide the end-user with a similar experience to that of the sidekick (minus the loss of everyone’s data). So how do the Kin One and Kin Two compare as viable phones? We’ll have the answer to this question and many more after the break. So what are you waiting for? Get reading!
