I've been reading a lot of comments about the Apple iPad and I would say 90% of the comments are negative. Here's the most common complaints. 1. No Flash. 2. No multi-tasking 3. No camera 4. Tied to AT&T 5. Oversized iPhone 6. iPhone OS? It's funny how the Internet dismisses a product that hasn't even come out yet. And they they are already predicting it to fail. Sound like when the iPhone first came out. Sure, there is no guarantee the iPad will sell. Yes, a netbook may be better since it is a full computer. But have you actually used a netbook? It's small, but the performance is horrible for a full computer. If you are using a netbook for its intended purpose of e-mail, web browsing, chat, photo and video. Then yes, the netbook is more capable than the iPad since it can do Flash, video chat, etc. But the netbook is a horrible e-book reader. Who wants to read the New York Times on a netbook? I can barely read the article. Not to mention you can...

Brian Klug, a software engineer in California found a curious listing on Amazon for a Discover Channel "Cells" CD-ROM for sale on Amazon for $2,904,980,000. It was being sold by a third party seller called Suburbankbooks. Oh and get this, they charge $3.99 for shipping. Being mischievous, he ordered the item and it was approved . He writes on Reddit that Amazon called him to make sure he received the order cancellation e-mail from them and confirm that everything was OK on his end. Amazon said that they have software checks to make sure orders with erroneous too-low prices are caught, but they don't have checks for the other extreme. They said they will be implementing changes ASAP. Read the posting from Brian Klug here .
