Competition Among Pads
Tablet computer “pads,” that is. Yes, other tech giants, along with some start-ups, are once again following Apple in an attempt to gain a portion of the market that Apple created. The WeePad, JooJoo Tablet, and HP Slate are among the competitors that announced or released tablet computers within the past month.
Clearly, there is a pretty good market for tablet computers, as Apple announced Monday news that it has sold 1 million iPads in the first month! But will other companies be able to capture the same appeal that Apple has with the iPad?
Analysts think not. The International Data Corporation says that “Anybody can make a tablet. I could go to Taiwan, hire a contract manufacturer, and make ‘Bob’s tablet,’ but the hard part is doing the software and getting the applications.” If any company CAN do that though, it would be HP.
Though it is perhaps possible for HP to take some of the market away from Apple, in the long run I don’t think it will make much of a difference for Apple. All of these other companies are followers. But the leader remains the leader.

How do you Surf?
As I have recently changed browsers from Safari and Firefox to Opera I thought of an interesting question. How do you surf the web, and are there certain reasons why you think that browser is better than others? I recently changed for a few reasons. First, Opera has absolutely no security holes(At this time). Secondly, it has widgets, similar to Firefox add-ons, and some other reasons I changed over were because of the UI (User interface) and the iPhone app they now have for the iPhone. Leave a comment about which browser you use and why.

iPhone Disassembled
Though there may be many pictures of an iPhone disassembled, I believe this image displays the beauty of the iPhone. It shows all of the pieces required for it to be put together, and the final product. This photo was taken at the iFixit offices in Atascadero, California.
