• reading the US iPad press release, they only say battery life is "up to 10 hours". Which is not enough for me reading a book. #
• It seems to me that the iPad will be a bit of a luxury item. It'll compliment your PC/iPhone, but not replace either… #
• I mean, you need a PC. You need a phone. Do you need an iPad? I'm doubting it… but will wait until I've played with it before deciding #
• Time to put all this iPad aside and have some breakfast… #

• Despite faking a "product in ice" demo today (which is really quite offensive), Kudos to Sony for using flickr for product pics. Convenient. #
• Funny that the product we signed an NDA on this morning has been discussed online since January 20. What's the point? #

A great read on the war against games resales. Personally, I like to collect games – unless they’re absolute shite, I won’t resell anyway…

The Games You Won’t Sell, The Games You Can’t Sell | Kotaku Australia.

I know the pic is poor quality, but it made me chuckle. At the bottom of the massage menu was this disclaimer:

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Merkas Health does not provide sexual massage.

I wonder how many menu’s it took before they decided to add that little footnote?

I have a tough job. Today I had to get up super early to write about the new Apple iPad, then have a couple of hours worth of briefings about cameras. I told you it was tough.

But then I had to go on a ride at Luna Park in Melbourne, before a 2 course lunch and a trip to Brighton Beach where photographer Ken Duncan gave us pointers on shooting bikini clad models in front of colourful beach huts.

And tonight I’ll be sitting in Rod Laver arena watching the men’s semi final at te Australian Open. Tough.

I don’t care what anybody says… There’s something magical about looking down at a soft bed of clouds while flying. One of my favourite things about hopping on a plane, and a key reason I’ll ask for a window seat if given the option…

So what’s it been? 3 months? I know I always promise to spend more time on the Shuffle, but I never actually do. Still… Maybe this time…

Actually, I just discovered that a local draft for a post on my birthday. It was a drunken ramble, and will consequently stay as a local draft, but at least you know I’m not totally negligent.

In any case, I’m currently at the airport waiting to leave on my second junket of the year.

The video of me appearing on the Xmas special of Byteside has just hit the web, and I have to say that it looks good. Mind you, bright lights make my forehead shiny, but that’s the price you pay for having shorter hair, I guess.

Thanks to the beauty of video embedding, you can watch the vid here, although I’d suggest you head over to Byteside.com as well so you can check out previous episodes and the games show.
