The New iPad (3rd Generation)

Apple announced the NEW iPad today, surprisingly they didn't call it the iPad HD. With it's stunning 2048x1536 "Retina Display", 4G LTE capability, a "brand new" A5X processor (dual core, Quad Core Graphics) and of course the 5-Mega Pixel rear facing camera (5-element lens, 1080p video capturing). We are all left drooling by apple but here's the thing... They could have blown us away more.

My problem with the "New" iPad is it's the same design from the second generation iPad (ehem 4S). It's really getting annoying that they introduce us a new products with the same design (no changes at all) and call it new. Well I guess we still need to give them credit for making the impossible, possible. Finally turning the iPad resolution into a RETINA DISPLAY. With the 5-Mega Pixel camera I guess we'll see more people trying to make the 9.7 inch tablet into a freaking camera. Could have been better if they also updated the front facing camera (VGA). I really don't care about the 4G LTE thingy for the internet here in the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) really sucks big time so there's that. Here's a given there's still no SD card slot for the iPad which I think will never happen anymore considering they're selling a 64Gb iPad for 699 which is a lot of money for storage.

All in all I think this was a decent launch by apple. Like I said, they could have done better but what the heck the Retina Display is the killer punch here. Imagine the apps that would be supporting the 2048x1536 resolution of this device.. *drools again.. But then imagine the space that it would take up in your device. Yep it's going to be a problem cause "RETINA DISPLAY" supported apps would eat up a lot of space in your storage. Making that 16GB storage look really small. That's why I thought the SD card slot was a miss by apple.

The new iPad doesn't change anything about my opinion when it comes to tablet PCs. You don't need it unless you don't have a freaking smart phone. Apple will still sell millions of these new iPads cause the world thinks it's cool to have one of these. But one day you'll realize that buying either a new PC or a Mac is still the way to go. The iPad is an accessory you don't really need but Apple tells you that you do. 

SONGS SONGS SONGS...

I always considered myself as a "Frustrated Song Writer". I even put it on my bio every time I get a chance. I love writing songs even if I'm not a superior guitar player, heck my girlfriend's even a better guitar player than me. I love playing with random words inside my head. I wanted to learn piano but you know guys will be guys and most of us guys are lazy when it comes to those things.

I started writing random verses of words when I was a Junior in high school. I thought they were poems but as the days passed by it became a song. The first problem I had that time was how to put those verses into songs. Since I had a guitar at home I just started strumming random chords then boom we have a song. Then I got deeper into it and I realized that maybe it's a talent. I got a little bit serious with it during my Senior Year in HS. I was so afraid of criticism of other people so I just decided to keep the songs that I wrote to myself. Not even my parents know about it. It was until one of my closest friend discovered my song "Heavy Heart" which became a little famous to my batchmates. They liked the song so it was really heart warming hearing them say good things about it. The best feeling was when the official YFC band sang it in the MEC event on Bahrain back in 2008. Sad to say that I wasn't there when they sang it but I'm happy that at least out of the 8 Billion people in this world someone actually appreciates my talent and my work.

Let's just say I got my heart broken so bad. It was like kicking me when I was down. 2 Birds in one stone.. Well I'll admit that yes I was deeply in love and was writing like a bunch of songs for this certain someone. She never got the chance to listen to any of them btw but it came to the point where I just gave up song writing cause I thought there was no point to continue it and such. ATL's The Girl's A Straight Up Hustler says every thing.. "I'm sick and tired of writing songs about you... This is it this is the END.."

After moving on from what happened.. I tried picking up the pen and write a song.. but it was hopeless. There's about 20 unfinished songs on my notebook. And I have no plans on finishing them. I tried everything. It's kinda funny that whenever I started to like a girl, I always give myself a challenge.. To end my so called "drought" with her.. (no not the sexual drought... SONG WRITING DROUGHT). I thought I was never gonna write a song again but that changed a month ago.

I was lying in bed getting ready to sleep after talking to my special someone then there's goes the words... So I picked up a guitar and I was recording whatever comes out of my head then a week later. I finally made it....... I wrote a song again!!!!!!! It was actually my Valentines gift to her and I'm so happy that she liked it. Even my dear father liked it.. Which was a little bit awkward cause I really didn't mean to share it with them but I'm a happy camper! :)


In case you're curious here's the link to the song.

I don't why I wrote this entry here on Random Blogging. I usually don't post personal stuff in here but I guess I wanted to share with you guys my story. There will always be a struggle in your life, all you have to do is face it cause running away from it won't do anything it's just like you're showing the world how weak you are.

iPad HD.

The day has finally come, The iPad HD or whatever it's called is just around the corner. In case you didn't know I'm not a fan of tablets anymore. I have just given up on them, so obviously I'm not really excited with the launch of the iPad HD today but I am kinda looking forward to it. 

Don't get me wrong tablet PCs are awesome and in my opinion the iPad 2 is still the best tablet out there right now. I just think that smart phones are better and tablet PCs is just an accessory. For short don't buy it cause you don't really need it unless you don't have a smart phone in hand. That's from a person who owned an original iPad and the iPad 2. Both iPads aren't in my possession anymore which says a lot. Funny that my iPhone 4 survived two iPads. But today apple has a chance to change that. Apple will finally launch the iPad HD. After like a million rumors, our questions will finally be answered.

I'm not expecting much from apple right now but I'm kinda hoping that they blow me away with their launch today. It's like preparing for the worst and hoping for the best? Well here's me hoping that there will be no gimmicks anymore. Just give us something that we're asking for. Give us what we like, not what you like us to like.
