Thursday 3.15.12 USA Today
Edward C. Baig
New iPad's A Feast For the Eyes
"No Game Changer, But Stunning Screen, Fast Wireless A Treat"
"We've see this movie before: a frenzied buildup punctuated by constant speculation. And then Apple actually announces the object behind all the fuss - in this particular sequel the latest iPad which goes on sale Friday."
"The the mood shifts. People bummed out by the features that Apple did not put into its freshly baked tablet computer weigh in. No extra storage or expansion options, no smaller screen model to compete against the likes of Amazon's Kindle Fire. Still no Adobe Flash, and no camera flash, either. Not even Siri, the chatty personal assistant, who, depending on where you are coming from, either charms owners of the iPhone 4S or bugs them."
"No big deal."
"Apple may have left a few things out. But Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster estimates Apple will sell 60 million iPads this year. And that's on top of the 55 million collectively Apple has sold since the original iPad was introduced in 2010."
Bigger:
At 0.37 inches and 1.4 pounds, it's slightly thicker and heavier than iPad2.
The Bottom Line
$499.00 on up!

A lot more interesting stuff in the article.

Why Wear Green On St. Partrick's Day?
"No matter your heritage, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. And that means you should wear Green. But why?"
Here are 4 reasons why Green is equated with St, Patrick's Day:
1. Green is one of the 3 colors in the Irish flag.
2. With its lush, Green landscape, Ireland is known as the "Emerald Isle".
3. Green is the color of Spring.
4. Green is the color of the shamrock.

South Hampton Institute of Technology
Saturday night I was getting a little bored with all the TV coverage of the 2012 NFL Draft so I just started skipping through the channels trying to find something interesting. I just about gave up and then I clicked on a channel that I'm not sure I had done so before. Maybe, I don't know. I think it was called comedy central H, or something like that.
I almost turned it off but the movie that had already started, maybe by at least 15 minutes, just kind of grabbed my attention I guess. I think the movie title was "Accepted". I think when I checked on "info" it said it came out in 2006. I don't remember it but then again I don't see as many movies and probably most on here do.
Well, I was impressed with it. I guess you'd call it a comedy/drama. Briefly about a guy who is graduating from high school but can't seem to to get accepted by a good college, to please his parents of course. And he tried to fool them about getting accepted to a good school and a trail of little lies by him keeps growing. And slowly effects a lot more kids like him. And in the end it all comes down, almost. You can't help but cheer for the guy as he faces the "establishment". I don't know who the young actor was but he was very good.
If it did come out in 2006 I wish I had known about it. I think in a regular theatre it would have been great to see. But to be honest, it may not have gotten my attention if I had read what the story line was back then. Just my slightly conservative side I guess. I admit now I would like to see it complete.
Good night.

I really didn't need another T shirt. But I bought one. I couldn't help it.
I've always been a big fan of Peanuts by Charles Schultz. Just so disappointed that newspapers in my area don't run the strip anymore.
Anyway I was in a Kohl's store here at the Lakeside Village a couple of days ago to buy something for my younger brother. So I'm walking by a section that features stuff stuff for young guys and there it was. A T shirt that featured Snoopy.
And here what was on the front of the T shirt:
HARD WORK NEVER HURT ANYONE...
In the center is a picture of Snoopy, smiling, sitting in a beach chair.
BUT WHY TAKE A CHANCE?
