At a launch in San Francisco, Steve Jobs said: “We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical product today.”
He then revealed what looks like a giant, touchscreen iPhone.
Jobs said the iPad will be ideal for watching video, reading newspapers, browsing photos. “It’s so much more intimate than a laptop.”
The large touchscreen is used an input device, with Jobs describing it as “a dream to type on”.
The device ranges in price from US$499 to $829.
iPad specs
The 9.7-inch screen is surrounded by a wide bezel. It will be powered by a 1GHz Apple A4 chip, and will sport between 16GB and 64GB of solid state flash memory. It weighs 680 grams.
Like the iPhone, it has a built-in accelerometer, and has a compass like the iPhone 3GS model.
Connectivity includes Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11n WiFi.
iPads will be available with 3G connectivity and will run on the AT&T network in the US.
Jobs said that iPad 3G versions will be unlocked, and will run on GSM micro SIMS.
He claimed battery life of 10 hours in use or one month on standby.
The device handles music in a similar way to iPhone and iPod touch, but bears similarities to the full version of iTunes.
The cheapest version is a 16GB WiFi iPad at US$499 and the most expensive – a 64GB WiFi/3G version will cost $829.
Apple will start shipping Wi-Fi versions in 60 days, with 3G versions available a month after that.
The company showed several accessories, including a protective carrying case and a standard mechanical keyboard.
iTunes, apps and movies
iPad allows users to flick through photos and emails on the iPhone, and includes a full-sized calendar application.

NBC struck a deal with Jay Leno today giving him back the Tonight Show in it’s original 11:30 spot, effectively excusing Conan O’Brien from the network.
Jay Leno has made a new deal with NBC, which gives him “The Tonight Show” from 11:35 – 12:35 … sources tell TMZ.
As we first reported, under the contract Jay had been working under, he was guaranteed the 10 PM hour. By moving him to 11:35, NBC was in breach of his contract and needed to negotiate a new deal. That is now done, sources tell TMZ.
So Conan O’Brien is out, and Jay is restored.

The guys over at The Oatmeal have written a comic strip/story about the trials & tribulations of being a web designer. AKA… MY LIFE! Click the link: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell
Sent in from Terry…
I have a full head of hair, but I want people to think that I’m bald. So I dyed the top of my head like a bad toupee. Perfect. Nailed it perfectly.
Is anyone else absolutely shocked that there would be wrestling outside of a Walmart?
I guess the parking lot wasn’t big enough for a NASCAR. event.
Be still, my heart!
It looks like a black hole sucking in everything around it
Not at any time of day, any day, any week, any month, or any year, has this outfit ever been a good idea.
I like skulls. I like wearing skulls. I like killing animals and gluing their skulls onto my hats.
I didn’t know Siegfried and Roy shopped Walmart! (Nice mullet in progress on the kid.)
Gay look completed by the frilly pink socks.
Those shorts could not get any tighter or shorter.
“Can you make it look like a raccoon’s on my head?”
Nothing oozes class like this outfit.
At least the suspenders seem to be holding.
Happy face shorts????
As a male, the first thing that comes to my mind is “awesome”. But believe it or not, some people might find this inappropriate attire for shopping online—let alone in public.
Taking a break from the Big Top. (Must’ve come over with Sigfried and Roy.)
Hot pink is not a ’slimming’ color, especially if it is cutting off circulation to the rest of your body. The blue shoes are a nice offset aren’t they?. If you look closely, you can see what I hope is underwear crammed up in there. (Didn’t want you to miss that.)
Cabbage Patch Man comes complete with a birth certificate, application for adoption. Each sold separately.
What’s the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.
Elin found out he’s not a Tiger, he’s a Cheetah.
Tiger just hates it when he drives, and then his balls hit a tree.
Elin Nordegren got hired today as a consultant. She’s teaching Phil Mickelson how to beat Tiger.
Tiger’s confused. Every other time he made a hole-in-one, everyone was all happy about it.
Tiger said the fault of the accident was his Escalade. It’s typical of a golfer—always blame the caddy.
Tiger’s car still runs, but it goes “putt, putt, putt…”
What do baby seals and Tiger Woods have in common? Both were clubbed by a Scandanavian.
Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one
Tiger Woods is tree under.
Tiger woods has a lot of cars, now he has a “hole in one”.
What was Elin Nordegren doing at 2:30 in the morning? She was clubbing.
Tiger Woods has been dropped by Gilette after admitting this incident was his closest shave ever.
Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.
Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife.
Elin’s excuse? She had to play a bad lie.
We now see that Tiger Woods drives very well on the fairway but doesn’t fare very well on the driveway.
What crossed Elin’s mind as she stood there with a golf club in her hand as she heard his lame excuses? “Just do it…”
Tiger’s next commercial: “Hi, I’m Tiger Woods, and when my wife comes after me in a domestic dispute, I make sure she uses the Nike SQ Dynamo driver.”
What do Tiger and the Beatles have in common? They both experienced a hit with Norwegian Wood.
Happy “Make friends with the Indians Native Americans so that Americans English people wouldn’t die off in drones so that they could survive and kill and steal the land from said Indians Native Americans” Day.
Or in America, otherwise know as THANKSGIVING! No go stuff yourselves you fat lazy American people. (Sorry Republicans. Am I sounding “Obama” like and hating his country?) Shut up. Me and my mohawk will kick your ass.

“If Friday the 13th is unlucky, then 2009 has been an unusually unlucky year. But your luck is about to change. Today is the last of three Friday the 13ths to endure this year.
The other two were on in February and March. Such a rare triple-threat occurs only once every 11 years.
The origin of the link between bad luck and Friday the 13th is murky. The whole thing might date to Biblical times (the 13th guest at the Last Supper betrayed Jesus). By the Middle Ages, both Friday and 13 were considered bearers of bad fortune. In modern times, the superstition permeates society.
Here are five of our favorite Friday-the-13th facts:
1. Fear of Friday the 13th — one of the most popular myths in science — is called paraskavedekatriaphobia as well as friggatriskaidekaphobia. Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13.
2. Many hospitals have no room 13, while some tall buildings skip the 13th floor and some airline terminals omit Gate 13.
3. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal. Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were also triskaidekaphobic, with an abnormal fear of the number 13.
4. Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. “It was bad luck,” Twain later told the friend. “They only had food for 12.” Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.
5. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number — 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in a dozen.
Pythagorean legacy
Meanwhile the belief that numbers are connected to life and physical things — called numerology — has a long history.
“You can trace it all the way from the followers of Pythagoras, whose maxim to describe the universe was ‘all is number,’” says Mario Livio, an astrophysicist and author of “The Equation That Couldn’t Be Solved” (Simon & Schuster, 2005). Thinkers who studied under the famous Greek mathematician combined numbers in different ways to explain everything around them, Livio said.
In modern times, numerology has become a type of para-science, much like the meaningless predictions of astrology, scientists say.
“People are subconsciously drawn towards specific numbers because they know that they need the experiences, attributes or lessons associated with them, that are contained within their potential,” says professional numerologist Sonia Ducie. “Numerology can ‘make sense’ of an individual’s life (health, career, relationships, situations and issues) by recognizing which number cycle they are in, and by giving them clarity.”
However, mathematicians dismiss numerology, saying it lacks any scientific merit.
“I don’t endorse this at all,” Livio said, when asked to comment on the popularity of commercial numerology. Seemingly coincidental connections between numbers will always appear if you look hard enough, he said.”

Terry’s top rules for women:
1. It’s OK to initiate sex
2. Scream something other than “Oh God”
3. If you want better sex from a man, have a lesbian teach him what to do.
4. A man’s wallet is not your kingdom.
5. You ordered dinner, show and flowers. Cost, sex.
6. There is no difference between a date that cost him money or a prostitute.
7. A prostitute is cheaper to have than a girlfriend
8. Men do have other places on their body that can stimulate them.
9. Women know everything about fashion, men are taught fashion a whole one hour their entire life.
10. Romance is a fantasy created by the brain. Men are too busy saving the world to think abut it.
11. Men do need time away from you.
12. Beyond contrary belief you are not the only woman in the world with a vir-jay-jay.
13. Your bills are not his.
14. Just because you move in with a man, doesn’t mean you have an excuse for not paying rent.
15. I haven’t changed, you just came back to reality.
16. Your braveness level should not change because you now have a boyfriend in your life.
17. Yes, they can leave you in a snap.
18. There is no slavery in a relationship.

The ninth-season winner of reality TV show “Big Brother” has confessed to using his $500,000 prize to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them, authorities said.
Adam Jasinski, 31, of Delray Beach, Fla., has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness.
Federal prosecutors said Jasinski was arrested Saturday after he flew to Boston and showed the witness a sock containing two plastic bags filled with oxycodone, a powerful painkiller that is a popular street drug because of its euphoric effects.
As agents tried to arrest Jasinski at a strip mall in North Reading, he struggled and threw the sock under a car parked nearby, Todd Prough, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said in an affidavit filed in court.
Jasinski won $500,000 on “Big Brother 9″ in April 2008. The CBS reality show features contestants who live under constant surveillance and vote once a week to evict each other in hopes of becoming the last houseguest standing and winning the grand prize.
Prough said in the affidavit that Jasinski told him that he has been using his winnings to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and has been reselling them along the East Coast for the past several months.
Jasinski’s lawyer, Valerie Carter, did not immediately return a call Tuesday.
He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine on a charge of possession of oxycodone pills with intent to distribute.

On the very day President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, he declared war on the Moon and it’s people. Nasa’s attack on the Moon today was a complete success, but countless innocent Moon People’s lives may have been lost in the attempt to shore up America’s water supply, and stop the Moon’s WMD threat.
In an address to American and world citizens today, President Obama explained his actions:
We know that The Moon People are determined to keep their weapons of mass destruction; and they are determined to make more. Given the Moon People’s history of aggression… given what we know of their terrorist associations and given their determination to exact revenge on those who oppose them, should we take the risk that they will not some day use these weapons at a time and the place and in the manner of their choosing at a time when the world is in a much weaker position to respond? The United States will not and cannot run that risk to the American people. Leaving the Moon People in possession of weapons of mass destruction for a few more months or years is not an option, not in a post-September 11 world.
The fact that the Moon People seem determined to keep precious water from Earthlings also seems to have upset the President.
The Moon People already has more than 28 million barrels of water in tankers buried under the moon’s surface.
With water prices soaring above $2.50 per bottle, any water producing planet or moon would be jumping at the opportunity to sell its water and reap hefty profits. The Moon People, however, are choosing to store a huge bulk of their water in large underground tankers. Instead of making money off water, The Moon People are expending loads of dollars to store nearly 30 million barrels of water for weeks. Storing water in underground tankers for long periods of time is certainly not cheap.
So, what are The Moon People up to?
There are several possible explanations to The Moon People’s curious water policy. Some water analysts have speculated that The Moon people are holding out for a better market price to sell its water. But with water prices already hitting record highs, this explanation does not add up.
Another explanation is that the current water policy on Earth is not universally regulated. The Moon People could take advantage of loop-holes in the policies to manipulate global crude prices by reducing exports and driving up demand.
In any case, this first strike on the Moon will not be the last, and Americans could be looking at upwards of 700 billion dollars over the next ten years to fight the Moon. With American forces already stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan a war with the Moon doesn’t seem like a well thought out plan by this administration. Forget health care, the Moon may prove to be Obama’s real folly.

DJ AM died accidentally from a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine, the medical examiner’s office ruled Tuesday.
Really? Accidental? More like let’s play a game of “How many drugs can one body take?”
The toxicology report showed the 36-year-old had in his system:
-cocaine
-OxyContin
-Hydrocodone or Vicodin
-antianxiety drugs Xanax and Ativan
-Klonopin which also controls anger
-Benadryl
-and Levamisole, a drug apparently used to cut cocaine.
I can understand everything but the Benadryl. I mean, with that many drugs, are ya really gonna worry about that pesky hayfever?

Obama calls Kanye a JackAss. Coolest. President. Ever.
Here’s the whole story:
ABC News says it was wrong for its employees to tweet that Obama had called West a “jackass” for the rapper’s treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. The network said some of its employees had overheard a conversation between the president and CNBC’s John Harwood and didn’t realize it was considered off the record.
The network apologized to the White House and CNBC.
Harwood had sat down with the president to tape an interview following his appearance on Wall Street on Monday. Although they are competitors, CNBC and ABC share a fiber optic line to save money, and this enabled some ABC employees to listen in on the interview as it was being taped for later use.
Their attention was drawn to chatter about West, who was widely criticized for interrupting Swift as she accepted an award at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards to say that Beyonce deserved it.
E-mails shot around among ABC employees about Obama’s comments, said Jeffrey Schneider, ABC News spokesman. Before anything was reported on ABC’s air or Web site, at least three network employees took to Twitter to spread the news.One was Terry Moran, a former White House correspondent. He logged on to Twitter and typed: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
When ABC News authorities found out about it, they had the tweets deleted after about an hour, Schneider said. Moran declined a request to comment.
But the news was out.
Harwood said there was no explicit agreement with the president that those comments were off the record. But he said it is broadcast tradition that such pre-interview chatter is considered off the record until the formal interview begins. Harwood is holding to that: He would not discuss what the president said before their interview and has no plans to do so on CNBC.
He said he was aware that it was likely someone outside of CNBC was listening to his conversation with the president.
“It’s one of those things that’s unfortunate,” he said. “But I think it’s an honest mistake.”
There was no immediate response to requests for comment from White House spokesmen.
I’ll remember Patrick Swayze for making me cry while watching “Ghost.” For being the coolest bank robber ever in “Point Break.” For being kick-ass in “Road House.” For leading the Wolverines in “Red Dawn,” and for making dancing seem cool in “Dirty Dancing.” Thanks for the memories Mr. Swayze. RIP.
From the NY-Daily-News:
Tests show that controversial runner Caster Semenya is a woman …and a man!
The 18-year-old South African champ has no womb or ovaries and her testosterone levels are more than three times higher than those of a normal female, according to reports.
The tests, ordered by The International Association of Athletics Federations after Semenya’s 800-meter victory in the World Championships, determined she’s a hermaphrodite – having both male and female organs.
Semenya could be stripped of the gold medal she won in Berlin last month and her competitive future is in limbo, according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
The athletics governing body is also expected to advise her to have surgery to fix the potentially deadly condition, the paper reported. The IAAF would not comment on the results that have yet to be released.
According to a source with knowledge of the IAAF tests, Semenya has internal testes – the male sexual organs that produce testosterone.
Testosterone is a hormone responsible for building muscles and for producing body hair and a deep voice.
Confirmation of the test results is sure to stoke the controversy that erupted after the university student’s sensational track triumph.
She has been embraced in her home country – where she was declared “our girl” – and appeared on a magazine cover after a feminine makeover.
“God made me the way I am and I accept myself. I am who I am and I’m proud of myself,” she told You Magazine, which ran a photo spread.
“I don’t want to talk about the tests. I’m not even thinking about them.”

Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas has taken to his blog to plead with Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross to let him try out for the team. He’s lookin’ to turn his B.E.P. letters in for N.F.L.
“I always loved the game of American football,” he writes. “I’m sad that I never followed my football dreams. Lately I’ve been thinking, is it too late to do it now? No way!”
He continues, both on the site and in a posted video, to tell of playing for his high school team—also the Dolphins—and call out some of the game’s biggest stars, claiming to be able to out-run them with his “cheetah speed.” To prove himself, he wants to race Deon Sanders, Usain Bolt, ex-Falcons running back Jamal Anderson.
“I’m fast. Ask Reggie Bush. I’ll kick his ass,” he says in the vid.
Oh yeah. This seems like a really gret idea! The guy that was to big of a wimp to hit Perez Hilton (and had his manager do it) wants to be in the NFL?
Wait… my manager is calling. I’m the new center for the Timber Wolves.
