Check them out in the gallery below to save the images in their native resolution, or…

If You’re Still On the Fence About Buying an iPad…

This Is What the Inside of an iPad Looks Like

Here it is, splayed open for examination by the FCC. At first, it reminds me of looking under the hood of a modern car—its core components are barely recognizable as such. Well, until you really tear it apart… The first thing you see behind the screen is a somewhat baffling wall of silver and black;…

Cory Doctorow, You Are a Consumer, Too

I saw a—the—Rally Fighter, an open source car in Austin. This is what the “finished” interior looked like, more or less. That’s what Cory Doctorow wants you to drive. Okay, not really. I can’t be too mean to Cory. I’ve got too much respect for him. He’s plucky, and the world needs pluck. In fact,…

TweetDeck on iPad Makes Use of That Wider Screen

Porting apps from iPhone to iPad isn’t just resizing all your assets, your app needs to be re-adjusted to use the larger space and how your fingers don’t cover up 1/5 of the screen when in use. TweetDeck does this. The landscape view looks like it does on the desktop, giving you multiple columns for…

iPad Is the Future

Normal people don’t like today’s computers. Most loathe them because they can’t fully understand their absurd complexity and arcane conventions. That’s why the iPad will kill today’s computers, just like the latter killed computers running with punchcards and command lines. Of course, the iPad—the actual product that millions will buy in the coming months—won’t replace…
