iPad 3 to Feature Thinner, Lighter Battery?

The iPad 3 will reportedly use a thinner, lighter, and 20-30% more expensive battery than the iPad 2, according to CENS. The battery will be supplied by Simplo Technology Co. and Dynapack International Technology Corp.

Institutional investors pointed out that the battery pack for iPad 3, scheduled to be massively produced in the first quarter of next year, has been redesigned to be thinner and lighter with a longer service life than iPad 2 edition's. Furthermore, the new battery pack will also be required to meet CTIA IEEE 1625 standard for better quality and safety reliability, a trend that has been commonly seen nowadays, especially in the U.S. For example, consumer electronic devices with coming ordinary battery packs are banned by AT&T, the country's largest service provider, from sales on its product shelf as well as from its mobile network services, until with IEEE1625-certificated battery packs.

The battery packs are scheduled to begin delivery starting in the fourth quarter.

Pope Sends His First Tweet, From An iPad

Holy tweet! The Pope is on Twitter.

His Holiness used the Vatican’s news account to send his first tweet, which announced the launch of a news information portal (and, of course, praised Jesus).

Unlike other tweets sent from the account, the tweet from the Pope was sent using Twitter for iPad.

Does the Pope have an iPad? You bet! Or at least he used one to launch the new site.

We wouldn’t expect any less, technologically speaking, from the leader who has overseen the launch of the Vatican’s YouTube channel and “Pope2You” mobile and Facebook apps as well as encouraged priests to blog.

How To Install iMovie On The Original iPad

Note: before installing imovie on your ipad, sync tons of your photos/videos first
while watching this tutorial.


Also, please take note that after installing iMovie on your ipad 1,
you will have some issues syncing some of your photos or videos in itunes. This will popout.

When this happens, just hit on Cancel.
As for the moment, I'm figuring out a way on how to add photos/videos direct to my ipad without syncing it in itunes. For my photos, I have saved it in another applications like Dropbox, Googledocs and extract the photos from there.

Will update you on my workaround with transferring videos without buying expensive accesories later on.

For now, enjoy iMovie with your existing pictures and movies.

Trading Weed For An iPad

Two idiots posted a Craigslist ad hoping to trade a 3rd generation iPod Touch and a 1/4 ounce of weed for a new iPad. They got arrested and will soon be trading their asses for cigarettes in the slammer.

The pot was conveniently placed in a jar on a scale, so potential traders--and police--would now exactly what they were getting into with the deal. When undercover officers were offered the pot during a meeting, arrests--and tech history--were made.

Both men currently face charges for possession of an illegal substance and conspiracy to sell Marijuana.

Wow, you did it so wrong it isn't even funny. First off all, you weren't offering nearly enough weed. Secondly, pretty much everything else about your stupid plan. I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't a very good one.

Hit the jump for mug-shots.

Music Video Shot Using 4 iPad 2s [Video]

Remedy Films shot and released the music video for 'Need' by Eddy using 4 iPad 2s only 20 hours after the device was released.

-
This music video was shot solely on 4 ipad 2's. The video was released in 20 hours of when the ipad 2 came out.

"We knew it wasn't designed as a professional videocamera in the slightest, so we would be Stuck with whatever results we got. We probably shouldn't have filmed in a dark setting, but it actually worked well in a "party" environment, plus it fit the song perfectly! We still treated the cameras as "professional cameras." we had one mounted to a steadicam rig, one was on a Kessler Crane Cineslider, and the other one was on a DIY hand held rig. The fourth iPad was held by Eddy for a few shots of her singing and dancing.

After being in line for 8 hours, buying 3 iPads, filming for 5 hours, and editing for 12 hours, we were exhausted. Looking back at the whole project, I am very glad that we did it. It was a great experience, and fun doing something first, that was history making."

White iPad 2 Bezel Gets Leaked? [Photos]

Photos of what appears to be white bezel for the iPad 2 have been leaked online by 9to5Mac and iFixYouri.

The piece that we have (from Shenzhen City), thanks to the folks at the iFixYouri iPhone repair shop, is the "digitizer" sometimes known as the the thick bezel.

If you look closely at the back of the part, below, you will see the camera hole, which happens to fit perfectly with the iPad 2 screen protectors from our friends in Asia. This is in addition to the ambient light sensor found on the top of the first-generation iPad. We don't know whether or not the new iPad will also come in a black finish but, we'll surely know all come March 2nd.

Apple is holding a special event on March 2nd at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts at 10:00 am where they will likely reveal the iPad 2.

Apple iPad Vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab

Zombie Café puts an undead twist on the Cafe World formula

If Zynga’s Cafe World had a zombie outbreak, it would look a lot like Zombie Café. The two games are similar in a lot of ways, but only one has zombies serving handburgers to unsuspecting customers. We’ll let you guess which one.

In the world of Zombie Café the undead can be docile, which makes them perfect for the service industry. You’ll be running a dingy restaurant and your only employees would probably rather be eating the customers. But instead, they work tirelessly for you. The set-up is simple: you have a menu from which you can cook meals, each of which takes a certain amount of time to cook and provides a certain number of servings. If you run out of food, you'll have nothing to sell. While a meal is cooking, someone (either you or a zombie employee) needs to be watching over it, while everyone else handles serving the customers. Keeping them happy will earn you cash and experience that can be used to upgrade your restaurant and unlock new content.

But it wouldn’t be much of a zombie game if that was all there was to it. Your zombie helpers all have energy meters, and if you have them working while they’re too tired they’ll begin attacking customers, chasing away any potential sales. So you’ll need to rest them regularly. As you gain levels you’ll be able to add more employees, which you can do by infecting poor helpless customers.

Your restaurant isn’t the only one on the block, however. There’s competition everywhere. To tilt the odds toward yourself, you can send your zombies out to attack nearby restaurants. Depending on their level of fatigue and how your experience stacks up against your competition, a winner will be declared. If you win there’ll be some bonuses in it for you, but if you lose you’ll need to reanimate your zombie workforce, which takes time.

The gameplay is fun, if not particularly original, but what makes Zombie Café so enjoyable is its disturbing sense of humor. You’ll be serving meals that consist of everything from bowls of dishwater soup to gelatin molds filled with eyeballs. Why anyone would ever eat at your restaurant remains a mystery. Maybe it’s the service. The visuals contribute quite a bit to the humor of the game, with cartoon zombies shambling around and terrified customers waving their arms in the air. And when a human dies, a black “censored” bar covers up all the gory bits.

Zombie Café isn't all that different from Cafe World, but its undead theme, and all of the gameplay twists that go along with it, make it a much better experience. It’s pretty simple, and there will be times when you have nothing to do besides sitting and waiting for a meal to finish cooking or for a zombie to resurrect. But it’s all worth it when you get to serve people Hobo Delight. Whatever that might be.
