Today is iPad day! Ü
Here are some of the cool things it can do
(is that an actual news article, or an ad?!?).
That is, unless you live in Hawkes Bay. Ö
At least the iPad won’t have the same issues as the iPhone 4 (aerial issues), or the iPhone 3G (issues running 4.0 operating system), or … shall we wait and see?
One thing seems certain though, that electronic readers are here to stay, as Amazon.com reports it sells more e-books for the Kindle than real books in hard copy. Check out this new NZ-made series on TV One for a not-very-distant future in which in which your carbon footprint is measured, everything is recycled and paper is too expensive to use. They have a library where people can go and see what books looked like.
This Is Not My Life. 8:30 Thursdays on One.
When Media Goes Bad
After TV3 was accused of copying CBS’s news tagline, you’d think they would have learned that they can’t count on geographic distance to protect them from claims of imitation. But now they’ve done it again!
And this little pearler shows that even small media players have to be aware of the potentially (too) wide reach of their broadcasts!
Does this image mean anything to you?
If you “only read it for the articles”, then this site is for you. It’s Playboy, but it’s safe for work. WTF?!?
If you’re more the “long lunch” type, check out this effort from Germany.
Finally, if you’ve ever played with fridge magnets, you’ll get this ad.
Cheers,
