Barnes & Noble Goes Up for Sale Due to heavy Income Loss- Are Physical Books Going Extinct?

I knew this sad, sad day would come. Barnes & Noble has announced they are putting the giant retail chain up for sale after heavy loss of income and their stocks plummeting. They frankly lost too much money to the e-book market, the Amazon Kindle, and the iPad. But even after selling e-books and their very own E-reader, the Nook, Barnes and Noble wasn’t a technology kind of retail chain. They were all about the actual store that you can go in to finish your summer reading while sipping a cup of coffee. Continue Reading...

Is the Apple Magic Trackpad a Whole New Era to Desktop Navigation?

Is the Apple Magic Trackpad a whole new era to desktop navigation? For the most part: no. Track pads are made specifically for mobile computers, such as laptops and net books. Now you may be saying, “But the Magic Trackpad is bigger than the average size Trackpad.” My answer will be, “Yes, but it’s still a Trackpad”. The truth is, this Trackpad by itself is just a copy. Now you may be thinking, “Who did they copy?” They made the exact same thing as the Wacom Bamboo Touchpad, but instead of glossy and matte black finish, they make it the usual colors: gray and white.

The iPad was first shown to the public in the iPad keynote hosted, by Apple's CEO Steve Jobs on January 27, 2010, but rumors were circulating long before that. Sadly, a lot of people were disappointed with the iPad, because it has a modified iPod Touch operating system, and most thought they would the same software as on their Macintosh computers, Snow Leopard.

Review of the Incase Convertible Book Jacket for the iPad

The Incase convertible Book Jacket would probably be the best case you could buy for the iPad. The design of this case is a type of fake leather, and the inside (where the iPad goes) is made of a microfiber material to protect your iPad from scratches. That’s a good thing. On the back of the front flap of the book jacket, there are 3 ridges, which are for standing the iPad, whether it’s to watch movies, edit something, play a game, read an ebook, or anything else you can do with it while it’s in standing mode. Unfortunately, it increases the thickness of your once half inch to about 1 and one half inch, and your iPad tends to slip out a little... Read More --->

Review of the Logitech Performance Mouse MX

The Logitech Performance Mouse MX is an ergonomic mouse that consists of 8 buttons, all of which are fully customizable. One of the buttons is not visible, which is right underneath where your thumb will be, this one is already preset to the “change window screen" the version that Apple puts on their Macintosh computers, but I think if you use this mouse with Windows software you should set the button to Flip 3D, which to me seems much, much, cooler than what Apple puts on theirs, but that’s just me...
