Apple has ordered more than 10 million units of a smaller version of the iPad for the fourth quarter — about double the amount Amazon has ordered for the Kindle Fire — according to a report.
The Wall Street Journal cites unnamed Chinese suppliers for the report about the 7.85-inch tablets. Apple hasn’t confirmed the launch or existence of such a tablet, but the company is rumored to be planning an Oct. 17 launch event for the product, which has been called the “iPad Mini” by the press.
An order of 10 million illustrates tremendous confidence in demand for such a product. In its fiscal third quarter, which ended on June 30, Apple sold 17 million iPads vs. 11 million in the second quarter. It’s not clear what effect a smaller iPad would have on the larger units. The production of a smaller version is something of a surprise: Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs had previously pronounced 7-inch tablets dead on arrival.
Now you can watch your Youtube better Via Big Screen thanks to the new Leanback upgrade!
YouTube has quietly rolled out what looks like major update to its YouTube Leanback program, making it easier for users to watch and control videos on a big screen.
The new mode, accessible via YouTube.com/TV, allows users to more easily control the YouTube experience from a TV or large monitor.
You control the interface with your keyboard — using the arrow keys to navigate and certain letter keys to access various functions. For example, the “G” key acts as home and “S” acts as search.
My-Even though Google TV has an app for Youtube on it I tried it on Google TV works great-actually better than the actually app for it! It do have to take some getting use to but it was fun to see!
“Apple’s power adapter is clearly a high-quality power supply designed to produce carefully filtered power. Apple has obviously gone to extra effort to reduce EMI interference, probably to keep the charger from interfering with the touchscreen. When I opened the charger up, I expected to find a standard design, but I’ve compared the charger to the Samsung charger and several other high-quality industry designs, and Apple goes beyond these designs in several ways…
“Apple’s design provides extra safety in a few ways… the super-strong AC prongs, and the complex over-temperature / over-voltage shutdown circuit. Apple’s isolation distance between primary and secondary appears to go beyond the regulations…
“Apple’s iPhone charger crams a lot of technology into a small space. Apple went to extra effort to provide higher quality and safety than other name-brand chargers, but this quality comes at a high cost.”

I am completely obsessed with this celebrity gossip blog, http://www.dlisted.com. I find myself reading it all the time, whether it’s on my iPhone or at home. Now that I work from home I actually read it less than when I worked at an office. Reading dlisted was totally my escape from the boredom of my job. I just can’t get enough! The guy who writes it has a mean sense of humor, so my husband thinks it’s mean-spirited and thinks I shouldn’t read it. He hates it so much that he has threatened to take away my clear wireless privileges! I know the blog can get a little catty, but I really don’t think it’s that bad. The way I see it, if you are a celebrity and you do stupid things, you are opening yourself up to that kind of criticism. How am I supposed to feel bad for people who make millions of dollars a year for being pretty and only mildly talented? It’s not like I’m out there writing this stuff. I really don’t get why my husband has such distaste for it. Sometime I think he’s just jealous that I’m not paying all of my attention to him.
