This week, Steve Jobs took the stage and held up the iPad, Apple’s long awaited tablet. Steve said, "Environmentally, the iPad is a good citizen." And, for good reason! The Apple iPad is made from infinitely recyclable aluminum. Matte aluminum wraps around the backs and sides of the iPad, tapering a bit around the edges. If you've ever held one of the latest unibody MacBooks, you know exactly the kind of feel and finish of the iPad's aluminum. Unlike the polished chrome of the iPod or glossy plastic of the iPhone, the back of the iPad seems less likely to show fingerprints and wear.
Besides recyclability, Apple added lots of other features giving the iPad a good grade for green. Features include LED-backlit display (means a longer battery life per charge), up to 10 hours battery life (about 2-3 hours better than the average netbook), rechargeable lithium-polymer battery (can be recharged up to 1,000 times while maintaining 80% of its original charge capacity over the typical 5-year lifespan), and arsenic-free display glass, mercury-free LCD display, and is BFR- and PVC-free.
In summary, Apple has once again built a product that looks good and will feel great in the hand. The glass and aluminum enclosure (Apple signature materials) means that the iPad will have the same solid feel of the newest MacBook Pros which are also made from infinitely recyclable aluminum!
Why is gold used in electronic products as a conductor instead of
silver? I believe silver is the better conductor of the two metals,
but sometimes they seem to use gold instead of silver. Could this be
because the electricity passes on the surface of the metal and
silver's surface is more easily tarnished than that of gold which
doesn't tarnish? (The tarnished silver surface doesn't conduct as well
as gold.)

Coalition Petitions Homeland Security to Suspend Airport Body Scanners
EPIC and a broad coalition of organizations sent a formal petition to the Department of Homeland Security to demand that the agency suspend the airport body scanner program. The petition states that the "uniquely intrusive search" is unreasonable and violates the Constitution. The petition further states the program fails to comply with several federal laws, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act , the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Administrative Procedures Act.

I must congratulate Apple on the I-PAD. It's really a fantastic, unique and effective piece of useful gadget.
But really - there are some elementary things that the entire public would happy to have and somehow there isn't! I talk especially about scanner and printer inside or outside the I-Pad.
How bad could it be? How complicated? It could real nice.

When implementing process or information system changes, slow and steady doesn't necessarily win the race. You have the need for speed.
