Okay, so there's this new craze about everyone wanting an IPad because its cute, sleek, hi-tech, susyal, and all the ravings and some rants. So, I asked myself this question: Given that I have the money (which I don't, but don't take this as sourgraping), will I buy an IPad?
The answer is a big NO!! But wait there's more!
1. The size is too small for a screen and integrated keypad. You feel like Carpal tunnel syndrome in the works.
2. 9.7 inch Screen is too small for my ever-growing eye problem. I want my screen the bigger, the better.
3. So what if it has Wifi-capability and 3g, my cellphone already has that!
4. It has a digital compass. What? I got lost in the woods I have to have my IPad with me????
5. Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. I have a very oily fingers, and its ok if it's oil resistant, but they didn't even include a FREE wiping cloth?
6. Support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously. I only speak English and Tagalog.
7. It can last 10 hours surfing, but its thin! It will heat up eventually and fry the innards.
8. Supports TV and video. If I want to watch a TV, I'll use a regular TV set.
9. Capacity, it supports 16 - 32GB Flash drive...What the? do they know that one DVD movie is already 4gigs???? and no hard disk??
There are other features which the IPad "boasts" of, but for the price I can buy a more flexible laptop or better yet, I'll buy a high-end PC. But then again, Windows sucks too! But that's another story....
(or the final attempt of yours truly to immortalize my thoughts in blogosphere)
Blogging caught my attention the first time I heard of a super fast internet connection available for the masses. At a shocking speed of 48.8kbps per second, it was the fastest available then. I posted my first blog at word press. However, due to other concerns, I deactivated this account to focus on more pending matters.
The second blog, Couch Patatas, came out after I took a sabbatical from work and instead re-examine my priorities and re-direct my life. In the blog which drew quite a few readers, I documented my journey to find myself by looking back in my past. Many topics were posted there, until I posted an article with a somewhat sly undertone which confused my readers and (I think) reported me to the site. The next day, my blog is gone (my thought, sorry for the pic, but its widely distributed in the net and anyone can download it, duh).
Friendster, (remember that site?), offered the same service, but I only and hesitantly posted blogs there cause of the growing craze of earning from your post. Lesson learned from that blog, you cannot be creative writing articles with moolah in mind.
This is my fourth and final attempt. After this, I don't think I will have the energy and the ideas to post more entries.
In this blog, I will "attempt" to change the blogging community by posting my thoughts (and rantings, if I may). There are a lot of good blogs that I read, case in point is Bob Ong's, and I am proud to be influenced by his writings.
I hope, dear Constant Readers (courtesy of Stephen King), that you join me in my journey as I explore the world the only way I can afford.
