Minature I-Pads to be Available in Time for Christmas


Perezhilton.com just announced that Apple will be making a line of 7 inch I-Pads in time for the holiday season.

The current I-pads are just over 9 and a half inches.

Honestly, I fail to see the point in this innovation. There's the standard size I-pad, apple laptops, I-phones, Ipods, and now a smaller I-pad? Why? They all do pretty much the same things, don't they? I mean, if you want something smaller than the I-pad why not just purchase and I-phone or an I-pod Touch? Do we really need a miniature I-pad? It almost seems like a waste of technology. But hey, maybe I'm just biased. I never got the point of standard I-pads either.

What are your thoughts on the new, smaller I-pads? Do you own a standard size I-pad? Are you looking to purchase the mini I-pad when it becomes available?

Radio Shack to Drop "Radio" from it's Name and Just Be Known as "Shack".


The old-time popular electronics chain store, formerly known as Radio Shack, has just announced it's plans to change it's name to simply "Shack". This change will help reflect on the world's change to digital appliances and downloads, and their abandonment of radios.

While it's true that the name "Radio Shack" implies that the store isn't keeping up with the new electronics available to today's youth, I don't think "Shack" is much of an improvement. Seriously, who wants to shop at a store known as the "Shack"?

What do you think of the name change?
