iPad 101

This week, two of my colleagues have purchased iPads, and they cannot stop talking about how great it is! This got me thinking…what is so GREAT about this device? At first glance the iPad looks like a giant iTouch, but what’s its appeal for the average user? What does it have that would make you spend $499?
Here are some advantages to the iPad:

• The display is great. It has a resolution of 1024×768.
• The user-interface is also great. For those of us who need glasses to read the small print, this is a dream come true.
• The accessibility to the internet is strong. And the quality of streaming videos is also good.
• I have been in meetings with my colleagues and they bring their iPads with them and they manage to take notes and email with no problem. I have even got the notes of the meetings before I have got back to my desk!
• Social Media. Everyone these days is connected to at least one social media platform, and the iPad apps make it easier to stay connected.
• The life of the battery is excellent. On average, the battery can last from 1-2 days. Which is a good thing. When your on the move, the last thing you want to think about is “when is the battery going to die?”

Orbit The Earth, Literally

Have you ever wanted to be an astronaut?

Obviously! As a child, it’s easy to imagine soaring high above the clouds into the unknown abyss of space, but as we grow older many of us leave those thoughts behind. If you want to recapture your imagination and become a part of history, then check this out! NASA has set up a new program called “Face in Space” where they’ll be sending your picture, along with millions of others, into space among one of two missions. Simply upload a photo of yourself, choose your mission, and you’ll be flying into orbit in no time.

Visit NASA’s “Face in Space” website to become a crew member of either the Discovery or Endeavour today!
