My dislikes of the iPad 3!

The Technology news for the week:
  • The Samsung Galaxy S III is being released this April and will have some amazing features.
    If I wanted a phone not made by Apple, this is the one I would get. These features included:
    • 4.8 inch, Full HD 1080p screen
    • A powerful 1.5 GHz quad core processor
    • 2 megapixel front facing camera and a 8 megapixel rear facing camera
    • 4G LTE
  • The iOS App Store has just passed 25 Billion downloads, which makes it the biggest place to buy apps worldwide. Talk about, Duh Winning!
  • Apple TV 3rd Generation has been announced. With it comes a new User Interface and support of full 1080p. Will be released on March 16th.
  • The iPad 3 was announced yesterday, here is everything you need to know about it:
    • There are different models of the iPad 3. There is WiFi and WiFi+3G+4G.
    • Prices start at $499 for 16GB with only WiFi and goes up to $829 for 64 GB with WiFi+3G+4G.
    • Still thin at 9.4mm thick and weights a total of 1.5 pounds.
    • Regular battery life is set at 10 hours and 4G battery life is set at 9 hours.
    • The screen is 9.7 inches in size, has a resolution of  2048×1536, and has 264 pixels per inch.
    • Has an A5X, which is a Dual-Core CPU and a Quad-Core GPU. The processor offers 4 times the amount of the graphical performance that the iPad 2 offers. It also has 1GB of RAM, which is 2 times the amount that the iPad 2 had.
    • The rear facing camera is a 5 Megapixel camera that shoots 1080p video. the front facing camera is the same one that was in the iPad 2.
    • The iPad 3 will only have Siri dictation, instead of the full assistant that the iPhone 4S has.
    • You can preorder the iPad 3 now here or you can wait until March 16th and get it at the Apple Store nearest you.
  • My dislikes about the iPad 3:
    • I wish the price would be a little cheaper, but the price doesn't bother me to much.
    • I wish they would have upgraded the front facing camera instead of the rear facing camera. Since more people use the front one instead of using the rear one, why not upgrade that one. How many people have you seen taking pictures with there read facing camera on their iPad? I have only seen one!
    • I wish all of Siri was on the iPad 3. Not just the dictation. It makes no sense to release Siri on the iPhone 4S and not release it on the iPad 3.

Windows 8 is going to suck like Vista!

The Technology news for the week:




  • The logo for Windows 8 has been released. I'm not even going to start my rant on how much this is going to be like Vista! Check out the logo below:
    Windows 8 Metro logo


    • The iPad 3 will have a Retina Display screen and will support 2048×1536 Pixel Resolution. This is not a rumor and has been confirmed by Apple.

    • Rumor: The iPad 3 may be getting a rear 8 Megapixel camera.
    • Rumor: Apple is set to revamp iTunes and the App Store later on this year.
    • Microsoft Office is coming to iPad. Better late then never!
    • Norton just got a little more creepy. Norton Safety Minder keeps an eye on your child's Texts, websites, apps, and much more. I dont understand this, I wouldn't buy this for my children. Its just another way that parents can control their kids lives. It also takes away any privacy that they have. And if you are buying it for younger kids, why do your kids even have Smartphones. I didn't get my first phone until I was in the 8th grade. And I had to pay for everything for it.There are screenshot of it being set up for a 9 year old! Are you freaking kidding me!? I am 19 and I still dont even have a smartphone!

      Cydia is better then the App Store!

      The Technology news for the day:
      • Rumor: iOS 5.1 is set to release on March 9th.
      • The iPad 3 is to have a Quad Core A6 processor,  2048×1536 Retina Display, and 4G LTE. Some people believe that Apple will announce it on Wednesday, March 7th.
      • A Report from the University Of California shows that Cydia Apps leak less private data than App Store Apps.
      • I have decided to do something new with the Friday post. Since I havent posted any music news lately, since I havent found anything interesting, I am changing the topic of the Friday posts. It is still going to involve music, but with a twist. I dont want to give to much information about it, you will just have to come back tomorrow and find out what it it!
