The new iPad is truly extraordinary compared to all the other tablets out on the market; however, many Apple lovers are calling the new iPad a very big disappointment. These people say Apple needs to do a few things to the iPad to make it satisfy them. First, Apple needs to add a very long battery life. The current ten hour battery life is very impressive, but making the battery last for days would knock the iPad out of the park. Secondly, the tablet needs to be indestructible. This feature would make the tablet even more like a computer. It also needs to be water-proof. Even thought it would be difficult, Apple needs to find a way to make the iPad look like it came out of a sci-fi movie. Apple needs to make the tablet ultra-thin and ultra-light. It would be amazing if they can somehow make it flexible as well. Furthermore, Apple needs to make the tablet smudge free. The iPhone 4s has a smudge-free coating, why can't they put the same thing on the iPad? Finally, Apple needs to get rid of the connector. They need to develop a small, quick connector that can sync movies in seconds. If Apple puts all of these features in the next iPad, it is sure to be one of the biggest technological achievements of all time.

     On March 8, Radioshack announced that it would be taking pre-orders for the all-new iPad 3. However, this deal comes with a catch. In order to pre-order, the consumer will have to buy a $50 Radioshack gift card, but you can also show up in the store to get the iPad when it is actually released. Radioshack has been selling the Apple tablets since the release of the iPad 2 in early 2011 and it has been a partner of Apple since 2009 when they started to sell the 3G iPhone. Apple started to let the famous electronic store sell the new tablet when it ran out of immediate availability. Radioshack is also offering a trade-in, where customers receive the iPad 3 and give the store their iPad 2. This program was released by Apple a year ago, and Radioshack is one f the only retailers offering this deal.

The Crazy Gun That Can Physically Stop You From Talking

Click here for the article

     Possibly the weirdest and least harmful gun of all time has recently come out. The SpeechJammer makes a person unable to talk in comprehensible sentences. This cool gun was created at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science in Japan. It works because we both talk and listen to ourselves while we speak. This device messes up how we listen to ourselves when we speak. The gun listens to words you say and shoots them right back at you, kind of like an echo. What the SpeechJammer does to people is called Delayed Auditory Feedback. This is how it works. The device has a microphone that your words go into when you speak. The words you speak in to the microphone are quickly transferred into the device's speaker system. The speakers burst out the words you had just said a hundredth of a  second ago, which screws up your train of thought and your next words come out in a non-existent language. In total, this is a pretty awesome device if you really want to irritate someone.
