Facebook finally releases iPad app
I didn’t think this day would ever arrive, but finally, Facebook has released its iPad app. After playing around with the app, it’s a much improved experience than using the Safari browser, especially scrolling through the News Feed and viewing photos.

Meet Siri, your new personal assistant
Apple announced several new products yesterday, but the most anticipated announcement was the new iPhone 5 iPhone 4S. In case you missed it, the iPhone 4S has several new features, including a faster processor, better camera, improved optics, but the feature that is most interesting to me is that it understands human speech.
Siri takes voice recognition to the next level. It not only understands what you say, but it’s smart enough to know what you mean. For example, when you ask “Any good burger joints around here?” Siri will reply “I found a number of burger restaurants near you.” and displays a lists of restaurants found online. Siri can read messages, search Wikipedia, make a calendar appointment, set alarms and reminders, search Google Maps and much more.
Human personal assistants everywhere… it might be time for a career change.
What are your first impressions of Siri?
