Finally after month’s of speculation Apple have revealed their new product iPad. At the moment opinion seems split between the hard core Mac fraternity and the speculative Windows users. There is no doubt though that Apple are going to sell millions of iPads and just like the iPod and iPhone it will make a massive difference to our lives, the way we access the web, view video and still images, read books and manage our lives.
LIke the iPod, iPhone and iMac, MacBook Pro etc it has been designed by English designer Jonathan Ive. Ive’s and Apple’s Steve Jobs attention to detail and functionality is remarkable.

Carbon Cost of Christmas Dinner
A carbon footprint equivalent to 6,000 car journeys around the world will be produced by the UK tucking into Christmas dinner, researchers say. It is claimed the UK’s love of the traditional turkey dinner will generate 51,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Academics calculated the production, processing and transportation costs of the festive ingredients. The Manchester researchers estimate a dinner for eight generates 20kg (44lbs) of carbon dioxide emissions. They arrived at the total emissions figure by assuming one third of the UK population eats a typical Christmas meal.
