The New iPad

Apple has come out with a new product called the iPad. It looks like an iPod only with a bigger screen and it can do a lot more. You can use it to go on the Internet, get email, watch videos, and even write down notes on it. It can even download music like an iPod and also books. Most people would think that it would cost more than $1000, but it only costs $499. There are six different versions of the iPad. The difference between them is that three versions are powered with wi-fi and the other three are powered with 3G. It has been released in the United States already and it will be released internationally on May 28. Many people have already said that this is one of the best things Apple has come out with yet.

Please Rob Me

Today, we found out about a new website called Please Rob Me. It is a website that is just like a post on Twitter that uses information from another website called Foursquare. The founders are using this website to show people that when they make a post about leaving home, a robber can easily find the house and steal from you. The founders say that it is dangerous to post where you are. Anyone can get information off of Please Rob Me. The founders of the site hope that people will become more aware of how much of a risk people are putting themselves into when they post where they are and maybe even get some people to only post things that won't give that kind of information away. I have never told anyone where I was because I don't have an account on any social network site.
