Eve News 3/2/10

So, i shall try to do a daily update of eve online as best i can

todays map:

So today our war with UK starts, for me im not so bothered as i plan on leaving quick to skill upfor a good few days, while mining on akoya for a good few days. The alliance hopes to do a good bit of damage to UK on the logistics side, by disrupting their supply chains and killing any mission runners using small fast gangs of stealth bombers etc, shouldbe good

currently training cybernetics V on quickshot89, while im training cybernetics IV on akoya89. Id like to have them both with +5 implants so i can get training done quicker. I will be moving akoya into t2 building soon too, few more mining skills and i will be happy for her to mine in Amarr space, which should just be the t2 asteroid skills.

well thats abit it for today, not much else to talk about as the war has started.

The iPad, A success or a money absorber?

Apples latest device is a hand held tablet that is set to change the computing industry. For months now experts have been stating that apple will be releasing a device in similar expectations to the iPhone, which is one of the quickest selling devices. The iPad is a mobile device with a large touch screen that is similar to the iPod touch in the way it works, however the screen now supports 720p videos, a must have for all those gadget lovers. The list of features is impressive, but that’s where the problems just start. With net books being the choice of many for small cheap and portable media devices with web access, the iPad was suppose to support many different functions, such as multi tasking, but for some strange reason, apple have left this out. Why, we just don’t know. It’s a shame as many people would want to listen to music while surfing the web. Will this stop the highest of hardcore fans, probably not? Now let’s talk about how the device connects to the web. For starts the basic version only has wifi, and the much more expensive iPad has a 3G connection, but this is only able to use 3g with a micro SIM, and of course, no company will let you get this without some form of lengthy, rip-off contract. So, with the list of problems stacking up, can we say the market is ready for an expensive, basic functioning device for more than £500? Or are you paying for just a money sucking object? Apple needs to sort it out.
