10.1-inch Apple Tablet in Early 2010?

As we last noted that the Apple Tablet is due next year, in comes an analyst's opinion stating that production of the Tablet will begin in February. Yair Reiner, a research analyst at Oppenheimer, stated that Apple's upcoming Tablet would have 10.1-inch LCD screen in a note to investors. This Apple Tablet is anticipated to be launched in March or April next year. He also added that Apple has been talking with book publishers for content offering as well.

The device would sport LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicion) LCD technology based 10.1-inch display. Apple would take at least five to six weeks for building up the inventory.

Reiner added that Apple has been approaching book publishers with very attractive proposals to the book publishers for distributing their content. His notes stated, "It should also make eBooks more relevant for education by simplifying functions such as scribbling marginalia." But do we really need yet another eBook reading device which is bound to come a premium price? The average sales price of this tablet is presumed to be $1000, which is as much as the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro.

One must consider that Apple has recently taken over the Tablet Mac trademark from Axiotron, the MacBook modding company. Probably the Tablet Mac is indeed in the making or at least a prototype is being tested. We can't say for sure if Apple Tablet really exists until some grainy photo is leaked or Apple confirms it.

Ten things you're not supposed to know about the swine flu vaccine

(At least, not by anyone in authority...)

#1 - The vaccine production was "rushed" and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu vaccine this fall...

#2 - Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

#3 - The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.

#4 - Doctors still don't know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they're not testing it, either...)

#5 - Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren't responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).

#6 - No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That's an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.

#7 - Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don't need one! (Because it can't spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated...

#8 - Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket -- even if you don't get the jab -- because it's all paid by the taxpayers.

#9 - When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: "The number saved is far greater than the number lost." Of course, the number "saved" is entirely fictional... imaginary... and exists only in their own warped heads.

#10 - The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren't completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn't some sort of blue dye that we could tag 'em with for future reference...)

The lottery, they say, is a tax on people who can't do math. Similarly, flu vaccines are a tax on people who don't understand health.

U.S. Collapse in 2010

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that a Russian professor predicts that the U.S. will collapse in 2010.

"For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010," writes Andrew Osborn for the Wall Street Journal. "For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument—that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S.—very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media.

"Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure," Osborn continues. "A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations."

According to the article, Prof. Panarin, claims "mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces—with Alaska reverting to Russian control."

Japanese Macintosh User's Group

I recently found the World's Largest Japanese Macintosh User's Group Outside Japan『虫喰いリンゴの会』online.
The location is Gardena California.
The meeting is held once a month.
I attended the group meeting on Saturday, October 17.
There were about 10 people showed up this month.
Most of attendees were beginners.
The topic was "How to create Christmas Card Part 1 - Using iPhoto".
The topic of next month is "Part 2 - Using Illustrator".
in December, * Christmas Party *.
It sounds good.
However...I wish they had more technical topics though...

Google Voice

Is Google Voice worth?

Google Voice gives you a single phone number that rings all your phones, saves your voicemail online, and transcribes your voicemail to text.

.......... '_'

I created a Google Voice number but......am I going to use it..??!!

I have AT&T for my mobile service and if someone who has AT&T service calls to my Google voice number, the call will be charged. This call doesn't apply to"Free mobile to mobile".

............ -_-;

Google says anywhere in the US is free.

If I want to call international, I would use Skype.

hmmmm.....
Any advantages of using this Google voice number?
