The new iPad 3 doesn’t look different than the second version of the tablet, with the exception that it is 1 mm thinner. The new product is also lighter than the previous one. The color themes that can be used include the following: gray, tie-dye, cobalt, black, white, or steel blue.

In comparison with the previous version, iPad 3 has a faster processor, bigger memory, better cameras and longer battery life. With three cameras, the user can make 3D photos. One of the best features of the new tablet is the possibility to make retina scans. The user is the only one who can turn the device on, if only his/her retina scan is registered.

A unique feature of the new iPad 3 is the control of a virtual mouse with the retina. Though controversial, it is true: the cursor can be controlled with the eyes. The user does not have to touch the tablet in order to manipulate the cursor.

One idea as a cool accessory for the iPad 3 and as a tribute to Steve Jobs (who was a practitioner of Zen Buddhism) is the bamboo keyboard and mouse.  The keyboard is the full type, similar to the one of a desktop computer, but it also includes keys that are specific to iPad functions. With a genuine bamboo finish and an optical mouse, the set can make people feel that they handle a classical desktop computer, instead of a tablet pc. The only inconvenience is the connection type, as the pair may require a 30 pin to dual USP converters.

An iPad 3 accessory that people can buy for a small price is a laminate snap on case, which can provide a unique aspect to a tablet. There are many themes to choose from and here is one idea: Click here

A third gadget (actually two) that people should acquire is the Hand-e-Holder and the Hand-e-Holder Tripod.   The holder is meant to make the handling of the tablet much easier, as it reduces awkwardness that is created by the back of the tablet. At least one hand is left free and typing can become easier.

The February issue of Fast Company had an interesting article about how the long career is dead.  A U.S. workers median tenure in their current job these days is only 4.4 years . In 1980 51% of men 35-64 had been in their job more than 10 years.  In 2005 it was only 39%.

Chaotic disruption is rampant, we are under constant pressure to learn new things.  It can be daunting, it can be exhilarating.  As my infograph indicates, businesses will rise and fall faster than ever.

The article suggests that the quest for solid rules is pointless.  Anything settled is vulnerable.  Technology focuses on disruption.  I’m not saying this is good, but just a brutal fact.

Nostalgia is a natural human emotion, a survival mechanism that pushes people to avoid risk by applying what we’ve learned and relying  on what’s worked before.  That’s not too useful right now.

And besides, many members of the American workforce are not pinning for a return of the long job.  The article suggest that established business models or the good old corporate ladder aren’t going to point the way like they used to.                    Source material: Fast Company
