Hold onto your glasses, geeks! The iPad 3 might get here sooner than we all thought. I have the iPad 2, and to be honest with you, I’m completely in love with it. I don’t go anywhere without it, and I can’t quite remember what I did before I had it in my little technology obsessed hands. When the iPad first came out, I was definitely a bit skeptical. Why would anyone need an oversized iPhone? Now I can’t imagine life without my oversized iPhone.

iPad has so many great features from its amazing display to its incredible battery life. It stays charged longer than my laptop does. Apps on the iPad make life easy with project management tools, iBooks, and magazines right at your fingertips. I’m a Mac in every aspect of my life, but even my PC friends can’t get enough of the iPad. In addition to being a great education and business device, it’s also fabulous in terms of entertainment whether you’re playing Angry Birds or watching Netflix. But that’s enough bragging on the iPad.

Rumors of the iPad 3 have been circulating like crazy around the interwebs, and Apple fans couldn’t be more excited. Although most of the rumors have been based on speculation, there are some recently leaked photos of the iPad 3. It appears to be a little bit thicker than the iPad 2 with a better rear camera. It will have more tapered edges, and is allegedly set to be released on March 7! Oh, and there might also be the release of a smaller, iPad Mini. Leave it to Mr. Steve Jobs to always have one more thing.

Do you have an iPad? Are you excited about the iPad 3? Would you invest in it?

In fifth grade I did a project about Steve Jobs. I had to dress up like him and read the biography I had written in front of the class. At the time, I didn’t appreciate his wisdom the way I do now. Steve Jobs has always been my hero but when I was little, I probably wouldn’t have been able to tell you why. Now, however, I try to keep his wisdom in the back of my mind at all times. The truth is, it takes a special person to be able to so beautifully put into words the ideas that Steve Jobs was often quoted talking about. In my opinion, his Stanford Commencement Address has to be one of the most influential speeches in history. I can’t even imagine how inspiring it must have been to hear such a speech in person.

Today is Steve Jobs’ birthday so I’d like to leave you all with a few of his words of wisdom. They will definitely give you something to think about…

Last night we learned who Barbara Walters chose as her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011. She chose some truly fascinating people like Amanda Knox, Pippa Middleton, Jesse Tyler Ferguson & Eric Stonestreet and Steve Jobs. But she also chose some really random people who aren’t as fascinating as they are annoying. The Kardashians? Herman Cain? Really, Barbara Walters? Those people are so random.

We got ahold of 10 more things that Barbara Walters thinks are fascinating (and they are just as random as the people who fascinate her).

Um, basically…. this video is ridiculous. If you haven’t seen it, you should.

Yes, Tiki, Steve Jobs has actually died. Moron.

The cosmetic guru of the century (sporting the ugly, unfinished bronzer Bobble-head look) attacks Jobs and the Apple industry for overpricing their products.  While she pays respect to Jesus – who apparently died a million years ago – she asserts that Jobs should have tried harder to emulate the Son of God by donating all of his money to those who needed it.

Our suggestion? Basically, like, build a bridge and get over your bronzer…because it looks like you played Mr. Potato Head with your brown head and your white neck. 

The Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York City’s financial district have spread across the country, uniting Americans against corporate, greedy interest. Or at least, that’s what we think they’re uniting against. The movement is highly unorganized and without any clear demands. On the one hand, this makes it harder to actually accomplish anything tangible. But on the other, it makes the movement all the more authentic for every person who shows up with handmade, anti-Wall Street poster in hand (such as Penn Badgley…) Protests have spread to every major city, including a notable, 4,000-strong demonstration in Portland, as well as many universities. As for the unavoidable, stupid response from a politician, presidential candidate Herman Cain weighed in: “Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks, if you don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself!”

The co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, died on Wednesday after a years-long battle with pancreatic cancer. But if you have a facebook, twitter, internet connection,or any sort of a life, I’m sure you already knew that. Thousands of people gathered at Apple stores across the world to mourn the death of the innovative visionary, who was responsible for many products that changed the way we interact with each other and the world.  Plus, he’s the guy behind Pixar’s success- so no Jobs, no Finding Nemo. He was 56-years-old.

Amanda Knox, who was convicted of murdering her British roommate four years ago, headed home to Seattle on Tuesday after an Italian Appeals Court overturned the ruling. If you don’t remember when all this first went down, it was a big deal- a Casey-Anthony-Style big deal. Knox was just a 20-year-old, junior in college (scary, right?) when she was convicted of killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher, in a “drug fueled sex game.” Her guilt later came in to doubt, however, when key DNA-evidence that led to her conviction was discredited. What do you next when you’ve suffered such a traumatizing event? Knox’s plans are anyone’s guess, but she’ll undoubtedly make serious bank.

This week, the media discovered Herbert Chavez, a 35-year-old man from the Philippines who has had surgery after surgery since 1998 to transform himself into his favorite cartoon character, Superman. His house is filled to the brim with Superman memorabilia, but I won’t really be impressed until he figures out how to fly.

Last night after work, I signed onto my Macbook and saw the news. The innovator who created the computer I was typing on…had died. Steve Jobs changed the world, and we can all learn a few things from him. Whether you’re a freshman just starting college, or a senior on the verge of graduation, you could probably learn a little from Steve Jobs.

1. Trust your instinct

Jobs once said, “And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” If your instinct is telling you to be an art history major even though you don’t think you’ll make tons of money, go for it.

2. Take Risks

If Jobs and the rest of Apple never took risks, you probably wouldn’t be playing Angry Birds on your iPhone right now…or be able to FaceTime chat with your parents to tell them you need more money.

3. Be a Genius

Obviously Jobs was a genius. If he weren’t, we wouldn’t have all of these cool Apple products making our lives easier. So hit the books, and start learning. You may do something awesome.

4. Don’t take no for an answer

Another gem from Jobs was, “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” So when someone tells you no, beat them up. Just kidding. You should just ignore them.

5. Change the World

Don’t settle. Jobs kept creating products that changed everyone’s lives. Keep trying and you could do something really cool.

After months of bloody fighting, Libyan rebels swept into the capital city Tripoli and claimed victory. The former leader of Libya, Moammar Gadhafi, has finally been defeated after 42 years of tyrannical rule. But… where is the guy? His whereabouts are a total mystery. Even though the rebels couldn’t find him, they did get a look at his possessions: a $130,000 electric Fiat 500, gay porn, an elaborate mermaid couch, and a thick album filled with pictures of his diplomatic crush Condoleeza Rice were found at his place. Gadhafi’s fate isn’t the only thing that’s up in the air — now that Libyan rebels have won, nobody is quite sure what will happen next. Will war break out between the rebels? Will there be enough resources for Libyan citizens? And will Libya become a stable nation? Let’s hope the answer to the last question is yes — Libyans have dealt with enough over the past year.

Steve Jobs resigned from his position as CEO of Apple. Jobs was more than just a CEO for the mega-successful company. He was the face, the brains, and the legend that propelled a small, underestimated start-up into the iPhone, iPad-creating business richer than the U.S. government (which doesn’t sound like much nowadays, but it is). Jobs has been suffering from health issues since 2003 when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but you wouldn’t have known it from the creations he’s released over the past few years. Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will be taking over, but will Apple still be, you know, Apple without Jobs? I have my doubts.

Astronomers discovered a new planet made largely of diamond. Not even Kim K or Katie Middleton could boast a rock this big — it’s about 34,175 miles in diameter. We won’t be harvesting it for engagement rings any time soon, though. The as-of-yet unnamed planet is about 4,000 light years away. In fact, astronomers aren’t quite sure what outer space’s new bling even looks like yet. Travis Metcalfe at the National Center for Atmospheric Research said that “it’s highly speculative…  [but] if you shine a light on it, I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t sparkle like a diamond.”

Only days after a rare earthquake rattled East-coasters, Hurricane Irene descended. The 5.8-magnitude earthquake was felt from Georgia to Canada, but there was barely any damage. Unless, of course, you count the damaged pride of us frightened Easterners- Californians loved mocking our freak-out over such a minor quake. The West Coast was definitely not laughing at the other natural disaster that hit the opposite side of the country this week, though. The much-hyped Hurricane Irene caused extensive damage along the coast, and as of last night the death toll was at 20. Here’s hoping that number stays put. Irene makes 2011 the most expensive year of natural disasters. Did someone say global warming?

A new, $120 million monument honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. was unveiled in Washington, D.C. this weekend. Even though the dedication scheduled for Sunday — 48 years after King’s “I have a dream” speech — was cancelled because of Irene, visitors showed up anyway to see the 30-foot statue. Some critics claim that MLK looks “too white” and “a tad pouty” in the piece. What do you think?
