Student's Ipod Explodes

an Ipod of Pentucket Regional High School student explodes during class. It made the class got an unpleasant surprise during the time. The source report that no body was hurt, and there's a perfectly good explanation.

The iPod did not just explode. It was broken so a kid took the entire thing apart and was rubbing wires against the battery, which became very hot, then exploded. This is not a faulty product that caused a danger to people. This was bored kids, in a classroom with a substitute all week, who found a dangerous way to entertain themselves.

From my views: There are no perfect factory-made, they also have a little weaknesses. Do not under estimate to Ipod. If you got your Ipod explodes or has a little trouble, check the warranty availability and then request the one. :D

Is There No Flash in iPad?

I really shocked when I knew that there is no flash in iPad. My mind pointed to this Apple's product with one question "Why?". I think no just only me that feel like that. When iPad is a device with priority on web experience, email and photos, but you never get the animated web content using flash including game and video. Because it is not cheap PC Tablet, iPad will not give relevant rewards from it's lack of flash.

How do you think about it's the best way to experience Web, e-mail, and photos device (iPad)?

Little mile for iPad

is iPad lack of flash? May be this problem will be solved. You will get full web experiences on iPad. Quoted from Technology Review blog, Adobe has a solution for iPad developers. Using packager for iPad which converts applications written in ActionScript 3 to other format, so flash content will run on iPad.

...Adobe does have a solution for frustrated developers. Its Packager for iPhone software converts applications written in ActionScript 3 to a format that will run on the iPhone. In fact, this solution may shed some light on why Apple chose to block Flash in the first place.

Perhaps, if Flash were supported, and it were easy to access rich applications through the browser, users wouldn't download quite so much from the App Store. Earlier this week, by launching a Web version of its Google Voice software, Google showed exactly how disruptive a powerful web application can be to Apple's tight control over the software that runs on its devices....
