So, people who follow technology news may know that the new iPad was mentioned a day ago or so. The iPad is a mobile tablet computer made by Apple Inc. The iPad is touch screen enabled and currently runs the iPhone 3 operating system. The screen on the iPad is 9.7 inches if you measure it diagonally not vertically.
According to Apple it weighs 1.5 pounds (lb) and it is 0.5 inches thin. The battery life on the iPad runs up to 10 hours. It has WiFi support and 3G WiFi available from AT&T and includes Bluetooth. Now on to performance, the iPad utilizes an A4 chip which allows the iPad to run at 1.0 GHz and the iPad is available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, or flash.
The iPad does not have: A camera, microphone, Flash support so I think watching Hulu is out of the question. By using the iPhone operating system it has limited programs so iMovie is also out of the question for the iPad. The applications it does have are: Safari Internet Browser, A Mail Client, Photos which is probably iPhoto, Video, the famous App store. It also includes iBooks so it competes with the Amazon Kindle, GPS and maps, notes which is on the iPhone and iPod touch which is also the other applications mentioned.
It also has a calendar application and lastly contacts. So as you can see there is not a lot of functionality out of this but hey you never know, it can be improved but based on those specifications you decide: iPad OR iBAD? Comment below or shoot me an email at racoon@racoonscorner.com telling me what you think!

So lets just say you reformatted your computer and lost all your major applications. One of those applications being your web browser. Well, this is why this blog post is here! I have found out about an easy to use tool that will automatically download and install your applications overnight!
The utility that I have found is called NiNite, NiNite’s site quotes “The easiest way to get apps”. What NiNite does is installs the software you choose with the default settings. Another thing that I like about it is that it runs overnight because I can’t be on my computer 24/7 waiting for all these applications to install, there is like a thousand of them! Another thing that I enjoy is the fact that it says no to those annoying browser toolbars that some applications want you to install.
Currently NiNite runs on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Even Lifehacker has tried it, I mean who doesn’t like them? Yes, this software is free and they do have a pro version that you need to pay for but NiNite pro just saves your downloads, has a silent mode, and business licensing, I mean who needs that stuff? I know I don’t need it. Also its $20 a month.
The following categories are what you can install, Web Browsers, Messaging programs like Skype, Media players and editors, Image editing like Gimp or Paint.NET, Security like AVG or Avast, Runtimes like flash player, and many more! So go check it out the site is ninite.com.
