The Super Kindle vs. The iPad

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

It seems that Amazon is not ready to give it up to the iPad just yet because they are hoping to create a super version of the Kindle as a response. One of the biggest competing features of the iPad is the fact that it can be used to read books in a larger tablet form. Of course, that is only the tip of the iceberg because it has a number of other features, like e-mail, maps, applications, and even a digital photo display. This is something that Amazon is not too happy about because the Kindle is only used for reading books, which the iPad can also do. Not to mention the fact that it can also be used for music and downloading from iTunes…

Regardless, this is an amazing device to have by your side if you want to avoid a bulkier laptop and curl up with a book to read in bed at the same time. It is also wise to consider an option for iPad repair when you purchase the device since it is somewhat costly. This way, if any of the parts go out, you will be all set with a professional company to back you up with an affordable replacement.

How To Crack The Rubiks Cube

Friday, February 5th, 2010

One of the things that my iPhone has brought to my life is the ability to use it for a number of fun tricks. As an example, if I don’t have the answer to a crossword puzzle, I will just look it up, and then I will seem impressive and smart. Another great use for my iPhone was looking up how to solve the ever elusive Rubiks cube. Who has actually done it? This is a crazy little puzzle, but I found a cheat sheet online that I looked up through my iPhone.

The Rubiks cube was invented in 1974, and rumor has it that people spend hours on end trying to figure it out. It’s incredibly frustrating if you are getting nowhere, but there are also strategy guides available online that I used to my advantage. The strategy in using the Rubiks cube is to start by looking at the front of the cube to manipulate it. The strategy guide instructs you how to turn all of the nine different cubes in clockwise and counterclockwise motions so that you can begin to crack the puzzle and bring solid blocks of color forward. It’s easier than it looks, so try it for yourself and see!
