New iPad is Hot!... Literally.

With the release of the new Apple iPad3, consumers are rushing out to the stores trying to get their hands on one. But, should they? After a recent report by consumer goods the iPad3 has reached a temperature of 116 degrees Fahrenheit, this temperature change makes it difficult to hold onto the iPad3 for no longer than about a minute. This temperature change is due to running multiple programs at once and the iPad3 not being able to handle it. This is a major design flaw and needs to be fixed, but I have faith in Apple to pull through and make a great product.

No Love Here..

Last Wednesday Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts released Manning due to a neck injury that caused Manning to miss all of last season. The Colts organization saw the end of Manning and the beginning of new "Luck" , Andrew Luck that is. Andrew Luck is the believed replacement of the Hall of Famer. Manning was sad to say goodbye, but he understood the Colts decision making. Although he is not playing for the Colts, Manning says that he is not done. Many teams around the NFL and starting to propose offers to Manning. So where will he go, will be in the discussion for months to come.

Whats With These Ships?

Due to a fire aboard the Costa Allegra, passengers were stranded on the ship for three days, in the middle of the Indian Ocean. One of the three diesel motors caught fire, and due to the fire, hours later the ship's generators had failed, stranding the passengers and crew in the middle of the ocean. A French tuna-fishing boat helped tow the boat to safety. One of the main concerns of the crew was of the Somalian pirates nearby. So they decided not to launch the life boats due to that. The only casualties of the incident consisted of broken wrists and arms from people falling in the dark. This has been the second incident for the cruise line Costa Cruises, and hopefully the last.

It's Electrifying!

As of a report Monday, it is rumored that the "hacker" group by the name of Anonymous will make an attempt to take down the nation's electrical power grid. Anonymous has said that they have no intent of attacking the grid. The NSA (National Security Agency) has taken defensive precautions, to prevent an attack, even though the group has the ability to go after computer networks. The main target of Anonymous' is the websites of the agencies that they disagree with so people are not too concerned that they will go after power grid.

It's Lin-sanity!

New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has gained major spotlight lately with his recent performances on the basketball court. Since becoming a starter he is averaging 26.8 points per game, 8 assists per game, and 4.2 rebounds. He really brought the spotlight upon him when he dropped 38 points against the Los Angeles Lakers. Lin, a graduate from Harvard University, was dropped twice before joining the Knicks organization, was thought to be nothing special, teams thought he was good enough to keep for the practice squad. He saw his playing time as an opportunity, and he took it. Since becoming the starting point guard he has lead the Knicks to 5 straight victories. We look forward to seeing more "Lin"sane player.

Hacking Going to Far?

A group by the name of Lords of Dharmaraja allegedly have hacked and have stolen sources codes from Symantec (computer security software). The group is trying to extort the company for at least $50,000. They say their intention was never to get money but to embarrass the company.Due to this attack Symantec have offered free upgrades to the newest software version, because the newest version is safe from this attack. The contact has been going through law enforcement, so that the law could track down the hackers. There is no official word that the hackers do in fact have the source code, but Symantec isn't taking any chances.
