iPad BANNED From Top Universities

Well well, guess what?  Getting a cool new iPad with your tax refund?  Maybe you saved up all those nights in the stacks longing for the apple fanboy's new toy?  Perhaps you managed to sucker mommy and daddy into getting you a new "educational aid"?  Either way, it wont work!

The iPad is getting a lot of hype over supposedly being banned.  This is not the case.  The iPad is not so much getting banned as much as it plain does not work with networks.  The defense in layman's terms of the universities is that the iPad is so complicated that it makes the iPad cannot connect to the network due to security bugs (also data-hogging) and turns this Apple fanboy's wetdream into a $500 paperweight, that is unless you have a lot of offline apps installed :3

While Apple may get some bad rep for this, I think that it is needed to further push the development of a stronger network in order to comply with Moore's law.

Manga on the iPad?

One of the iPad's revolutionary new features is its ebook reader and respective store. But as an Otaku, I began thinking, "this iPad is about the perfect size for comic book or manga reading!". Well, it seems that major publishers of graphic novels in Japan and stateside have agreed with me.

With Apple's new ipad combined with the new ibook store, this allows for a much easier sale and distribution of product worldwide. Not to mention its green! Think of all the paper we could be saving by reading manga on an iPad!

"The potential of the iPad is huge. We feel the comic-reading experience is going to be truly awesome."
