Happy belated birthday to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia turned 10 on January 15, 2011.

I always used to turn to Google when I wanted to find out about something.  Now, I usually end up on Wikipedia first, collect some relevant information (at least according to the Wikipedia article's author(s)) then turn to Google to do more detailed search and research.

Happy Birthday and here's hoping for many more!

EMail recall

As mentioned in this post, hitting "Reply All" in an email could be an embarrassing thing.  If you happen to use GMail, you might have an out--the timing of which is even up to you!  Check out this post from a friend of mine who owns an IT consultancy.  As an aside, he's a good guy who knows his stuff.  Check out his company if you are in the market for IT services!

Take a tablet and call me in the morning?

Okay, I want a tablet PC now.  Of course, the front runner is the iPad.  However, there were a number of tablets introduced at CES and Laptopmag.com has their top-10 here.  Are these your top 10?  What others would you include in the "top" list? (This is purely selfish, of course.  I just want to get more options! :) )  Personally, before I even saw this list, the Motorola Xoom and Asus slider were up there for me.

Boom! Tablets come out of nowhere! And everywhere!

According to this story from USA Today, tablets sold 21 million units in 2010 after literally no market in 2009.  2010 saw the introduction of a number of tablets, but by far, the Apple iPad was the most popular.   Apple is estimated to have sold 13+ million units of the iPad itself according to this article.  And 2011 is expected to be even bigger.  The USA Today story states that a number of companies will be bringing out their own tablet and there are also rumors of an updated iPad.  Like I said before, I can't wait!

iPad "2" rumors

PCMag.com reported about some leaked images for an iPad "2" case.  Unfortunately, the pics have been taken down, but based on those pics, PCMag is guessing that the iPad redesign will have it looking more like the iPhone 4, have a rear facing camera, and a possible USB or memory card slot (some kind of slow anyway).

I can't wait to see what Apple has in store (no pun intended) for us in 2011!

EDIT: Here's USA Today's take on what Apple might possibly have in store for the new iPad.

Christmas vacation is as good a time as any...

I'm going to start (restart?) my Mac and PC postings on Blogger.  Off and on I've been trying to figure out an automated way to move posts from my other blog on WordPress over here to Blogger.  I just haven't been able to find an easy way, so I guess I'll just do it by hand.  If any of you out there have a nice, easy way to move posts from WordPress to Blogger, I'd love to know how you do it!

Where will you be Dec. 17, 2010?

Me?  I'll be at the sequel of one of my all-time favorite movies: Tron.
