What do you use your iPad for the most? If you are like me, playing casual games is probably the main use for the iPad. Of course, there is the occasional sending of emails and browsing the Internet when I’m out and don’t feel like taking the laptop with me. Then again, the iPhone can do the same things, so the iPad is rather redundant for me at the moment.

For those of you who are heavy iPad users, however, you probably use the on screen keyboard regularly. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have many issues with that keyboard. If you do, then you might be interested in this iPad app called TypeWay. [Read more…] about TypeWay for iPad

Recently, however, TripAdvisor has gotten some flak from the advertising watchdog of Britain. The agency has publicly reproved the travel web site due to its claim that all of its user-generated reviews are genuine; that is, all of them are written by real travelers.

I honestly do not know if I would, assuming I had more than enough money to burn. Then again, if you were a hardcore collector of everything that can be related to one of the greatest fantasy authors that has ever walked this earth, then I suppose GBP 1,700 is not that big of a price to pay for something handwritten by Tolkien.
