If you weren’t lucky enough to get one early like Pee-wee Herman was and you’re not turned off by Apple’s intentional vagueness about what the device can do, its battery life, lack of initial 3G support, and the tablet apps launching with the iPad, then feel free to get in line on March 12, 2010.  That’s what Apple will start taking preorders for all flavors of the iPad, with a launch date set for April 3, 2010.

When I say there are a lot of questions surrounding the device, I mean there are a lot of questions.  First and foremost, why the Wifi version at launch, and no 3G version until late April or even early May?  Why the month delay between the Wifi and 3G?  And why the month delay on the international version?

I mean, the delay on the international version I can understand, because companies still depend on that staggered launching date technique to keep profits consistent throughout the year.  But no 3G?  What’s the deal with that?  And why is 3G so much more expensive than the Wifi version?  There are a lot of reasons to avoid the iPad at launch; these are just some of them.  I recommend waiting for a few months before picking one up, assuming you can’t wait for the second generation iPad to launch.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
