Yahoo's very own iPad application →
A lot of awesome news is coming out about the iPad. 9to5Mac posted some screenshots of Yahoo’s iPad application which looks pretty freakin’ awesome. I’m hoping this is what I think it is - a full TV guide that actually looks nice. (The show they’re reading about is pretty awesome too!)
New Dating Site Hooks Up Gamers with Girls... for... →
When it’s working again, each user will choose to be either a “Player” (mostly males) or a “PlayDate” (mostly females). Players will choose PlayDates they’d like to play either Xbox 360 games (like Halo 3 or Grand Theft Auto IV) or browser-based computer games with. A game date lasts about 10 minutes, and it costs real money in the form of game points.
That’s where it gets a little weird. Players...

Apple Keeping Tight Wraps on iPad as Lucky... →
The access comes with a price, however, as the lucky developers are obligated to sign a 10-page confidentiality agreement requiring them to utilize a number of security measures to prevent unauthorized access to or removal of the iPad in their possession.
Would-be testers of the tablet-style computer, due to be released Apr. 3, must promise to keep it isolated in a room with blacked-out windows,...

– Miller claims that Mac OS X users have typically been relatively free of malware threats due to a lack of hacker interest in the relatively small user base, not necessarily due to Mac OS X being more secure than other operating systems.

Sometimes I end up with 3-4 Tumblr tabs open

St. Patrick's Day
Being home for St. Patrick’s Day is very odd. My Dad’s side of the family is very Irish and we usually have to go to the obligatory Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner but for some reason it didn’t happen this year.
I know if I was in Syracuse right now I’d probably be in the midst of green beer or on an ambulance picking up people that had already consumed more than their...

Water
I’m going to preface this story by saying it’s going to sound really dumb - and instead of trying to word it in such a way that it doesn’t, I’m just going to own up to it. So this is going to sound dumb.
I started noticing I was getting a lot of headaches and I just felt gross. My skin felt more oily than usual and I wasn’t sure why. So my mom (who’s been a...

The Hurt Locker
Going into the Academy Awards, the only movie that I had actually seen was Up. After seeing The Hurt Locker clean up with awards I decided that I should probably give it the time of day and watch it.
I rented it tonight and watched the 30 second trailer first just to get a vague idea of what it was about. Okay, Iraq… guys with big suits… oh I get it, they deal with explosives…...

The iPad Pre-Order Saga Continues
Okay, this is getting a tad bit ridiculous now. But for the interest of those already involved or in the same position (such as Jennika), here ya go.
I went to my local Apple Store today and talked to one of the Specialists there. My question was “I reserved an iPad - will there be one with my name on it waiting for me or am is it a first come, first serve kind of thing?”.
