Ipad Makes its debut at the oscars!

No, Apple didnt win a stature but the sure made themselves to be present in the 82 annual academy awards! Apple debuted their first Ipad ad. Very exiting stuff. The ipad as seen in the commerical is being advertised as a laptop shown in many situations to be used the same way you would a laptop. So why buy an Ipad as opposed to a computer? The touch screen the cheaper price calling out to you? Essentially i think this is for people who dont want a computer they just want something that does the simple things a computer does, email, music, readings, etc. It's so pretty! If apple is good at anything it is marketing themselves. their advertisements sell you with any product. I know they are going to make a bundle off of the Ipad just like everything else. Ipad will be available in stores April 3rd. You can check out the new ipad ad on youtube!

Meeeee!


Its funny, I created my Me and had a good time doing it. The other day, my husbands friends were over and happened to see, well., Me! They were dumbfounded. They couldnt believe that the Me itself captured who i am about. My cousin on the other hand, thought I should have gone a completely different direction. his reason was, if you are going to create your self in a virtual reality world go big or go home! Be goth, be a rocker, be a prep! be anything BUT yourself! that got me to thinking of how many people really do express themselves over virtual reality games. Its being able to be someone who you want to be but are to afraid to be in this reality. I never felt the need to really express myself in that way, but I think im going to give it a sot-it can be really freeing i think. I usually create avatars that represent me, in a sense ive have always thought, well its me why would i lie? why would i be someone else? but now, with my cousins input i understand why so many people are turning to games like the sims or even the WII!

Kevin Smith/Twitter


When this story first broke I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that southwest airlines asked Kevin Smith to get off the plane because he was a safety risk and essentially telling the man he is to fat to have just one seat. what I was even more i shock about is that TWITTER is what broke this story with his tweet blasting the airline. The story spread all over the Internet and local news stations of what occurred between smith and the airline. It is incredible how quickly something travels with just 140 character long tweet. It spread like a wild fire!!! It is mind boggling how quickly that spread. but it did. Southwest airlines must be doing a great amount of damage control, because everyone seems to be on smiths side. there was a way to handle that differently other than kicking him off and making an announcement in front of all the passengers! how embarrassing for smith! You know what the funny part is? I dont even think he is that big!!! I hope he tears them apart, what happened to him shouldn't happen to anyone and the airline should be embarrassed for what they did to him!
