what's up with the new ipad 2
everyone is speculating beyond the great usability and awesome reliability performance of the ipad
what more is coming in ipad 2 ???
here is what's coming
1. 3 dimensional camera capability
what it means for video conferncing is simply unbelievable
2 true Hi- def screen when you watch movies. on ipad you do not have to be in alvie theater
3 price of ipad 2 will be same as ipad 1 the ipad 1 will all be priced lower for bargain hunters
4 no USB no SD card no HDMI -- forget it all ipad 2 tablet remains monolithic
5 iPhone iPod apps will all work for ipad 2... without a need for an ipad customized app
6 it may be called the upad
7 more of voice enabled features that utilizes Siri application as the fore front app to avoid the dominance of google
go buy an ipad.
ipad2 ipad 2 is the only ipad killer
Earth, Mars and Venus to Collide..
Don't worry, it will not happen for atleast a billion years.. now read on ...
Astronomers calculate there is a tiny chance that Mars or Venus could collide with Earth - though it would not happen for at least a billion years.
The finding comes from simulations to show how orbits of planets might evolve billions of years into the future.
But the calculated chances of such events occurring are tiny.
Writing in the journal Nature, a team led by Jacques Laskar shows there is also a chance Mercury could strike Venus and merge into a larger planet.
Professor Laskar of the Paris Observatory and his colleagues also report that Mars might experience a close encounter with Jupiter - whose massive gravity could hurl the Red Planet out of our Solar System.
Astronomers had thought that the orbits of the planets were predictable. But 20 years ago, researchers showed that there were slight fluctuations in their paths.
Now, the team has shown how in a small proportion of cases these fluctuations can grow until after several million years, the orbits of the inner planets begin to overlap.
The researchers carried out more than 2,500 simulations. They found that in some, Mars and Venus collided with the Earth.
"It will be complete devastation," said Professor Laskar.
"The planet is coming in at 10km per second - 10 times the speed of a bullet - and of course Mars is much more massive than a bullet."
Professor Laskar's calculations also show that there is a possibility of Mercury crashing into Venus. But in that scenario, the Earth would not be significantly affected.
"If there is anyone around billions of years from now, they'd see a burst of light in the sky and the two planets would be merged," he said.
"The new planet would be a little bit bigger than Venus, and the Solar System would be a little more regular after the collision, but the Earth's orbit would not be affected."

The incredible story of ''Christian" the pet lion
Have you read or heard of the play by George Bernard Shaw "Androcles and the Lion" and wondered if it could ever happen? Could a carnivore, lion ever love a human being for the kindness he showed to it and display mercy in return ? Uh ! Hard to believe right ?
Androcles, who is a slave puts off pain from an ailing lion by removing a thorn stuck to its paw. He is captured and when was thrown into the gladiator to be killed by the lion, the lion happens to be the same lion which he had helped when he was hiding in the woods before being captured by the Roman soldiers.
It is a great story of human sport ever since and it had never been heard of to happen in real life ever until I read this story of a pet lion cub, Christian who was raised as a cub in a Chelsea London flat by John Rendall and Ace Berg. The cub was bought in 1969 at London's Harrod Store and was raised as if it was a pet dog. Later as Christian grew bigger, the owners happened to meet the stars of the movie Born free and inspired by the movie, they considered rehabilitating Christian back to the wild and introduced him back to the woods in Nairobi Kenya's Kora national park. Year after year, the owners go to visit Christian at his newfound natural home, not expecting him to remember them, but to their heartknotting surprise, Christian unfailingly recognizes them and shows how much he misses them by hugging them around the shoulders lovingly the way he always did. Watch this video to see this touching story of Christian. After seeing this story, all I did was just cried !
