The rumor mill is working overtime, when it comes to the iPad and most of these rumors are rolling in from China, where Apple iPads are manufactured. As if a retina display and A6 processor weren’t enough, the iPad might even come with an 8-megapixel camera. One more thing. In a weird twist, this rumor refutes an earlier rumor about a thicker iPad and states that the iPad 3 will be sharper and more tapered looking more like the current tablet – iPad 2.

Technology has impacted all sectors of our life. Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign reaffirms this. It was Obama who was the first to release an iPhone app to popularize his campaign. This time around, things are set to get even snazzier as he has set up a technology field office for the purpose.
According to Obama campaign press secretary Katie Hogan, "We learned from 2008 that using the talents and skills of our supporters was a key to building the most effective organization.We’re taking the next step by providing tools and space for supporters in the technology community to help the campaign extend our current tools like BarackObama.com and our mobile applications."
Apple’s new iPhone patent shows how to make sharing media easy as anything

Apple is out to change the way we share, at least according to their new patent filing. They have filed a new patent, which reveals that they are working on a technology that will let you share songs, videos and images – while you are on a call or sending a voicemail message and the receiver can receive media like they receive a call. In case this patent becomes a reality, we think it will suit our networking needs – whether it be sharing photos on Facebook for example or sharing an official document.
What’s even more interesting is how Apple plans to do this. Apple wants to create what’s called the ‘Binding protocol’ using which one or more items can be easily bound to a vice call which will make sharing and communicating faster and easier. Even the UI will have to change for good coming with a special ‘share media’ button.

These touch-sensitive toys seem quite exciting as they take your Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja to the next level.

Apple crossed new milestones of success yesterday, with its share value rocketing up to $ 501 .45 per share and continuing to rise. The most interesting part is that now it is cheaper to buy an iPad rather than a share of Apple in the U.S. The entry-level iPad is currently priced at $499, evidently cheaper than a single share of Apple. Whoa! The way Apple is growing, it seems there is no limit to its success.
While Apple shareholders are celebrating its success, we shouldn’t forget the man behind everything – Steve Jobs. Apple once was on the way to bankruptcy till Jobs was re-introduced to its board and took Apple from a dying firm to a technology stalwart.

Rumor has it that Apple might be launching its iPad 3 in the first week of March. One of the most exciting features that the iPad 3 should boast, is a full retina display, which will boost the iPad’s resolution to a grand 2048x1536 pixels.
While Apple currently features only 720p HD content in the iTunes store, with the introduction of the new iPad, it will cross into the arena of 1080p. Just think of it as watching a blu-ray flick on your iPad.
