QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) So I took the iPad on a trip to Reno this past week. Previous to leaving, I loaded it up with movies and books to read. At the airport, I was able to use the free Wifi and connect to the internet and navigate webpages very easily. The processor was fast and the signal was strong. On the plane, I watched the animated film "9" and was incredibly impressed by the picture quality. When I busted out the iPad and started the movie, the lady sitting next to me let out an "oooh, that picture is beautiful" and actually seemed to be watching most of the movie with me. As it was a short flight, I didn't finish the movie on the plane, but finished it that night in the hotel (although I had also rented Zombieland and found that iTunes' 24 hour rental period to sort of stink - I started the movie on the plane ride home but didn't get a chance to finish it before the rental period expired - so that was a waste of $3.99). At the hotel, I was able to read some of the books I had downloaded in bed with no real complaints about the supposed "eye strain" or whatever. The books are easy, actually even sort of fun to navigate through as you can scroll through one page at a time, or by the table of contents, however you would like. I hope Apple works out contracts with some other publishers so the selection on iBooks becomes larger. Not having the 3G connection was a bit of a disadvantage as I couldn't connect to the internet without paying for the hotel's Wifi signal, but that was ok, because I was able to check email and that sort of thing via my iPhone and it's 3G signal (one of the primary reasons I didn't spring for the 3G version of the iPad). I was gone for 4 days and did not charge the iPad once. When I got home, I still had 83% battery remaining, so the battery is definitely top notch. All in all, it's a very solid device. As many have said, including myself, it's not going to replace your laptop if you are a serious business traveler, and it's definitely a bit of a toy - certainly not a necessity for anyone - but it works extremely well for what it is designed to do and I had absolutely no issues with it whatsoever. Just wanted to give you guys sort of a review of my first trip with it. I'm amazed by the battery life. That's awesome. I think the movie rental price of $4 is too much

Can't wait to see this one

I got a Dell in '02 and it's just starting to show its age now, 8 years later. But I'm also really smart about protecting my PC online

Is cereal really that sugary to you guys? It's just a fraction of the sugar in a soda

With this article, you have gained my vote for several of the 2011 Soxtalk Awards categories. Bravo

New Top Chef Masters? Nice

I haven't felt like this since I found out Santa wasn't real

Also Duke was 1 foul away from putting Butler in the double-double so if Zoubek just makes the free throw they can foul Butler and not even allow them a 3-pt chance

No one for Butler stepped up enough offensively. Take out Avery Jukes and Butler shot 30%. Veasley missed all 5 of his 3-pointers which if I recall weren't that closely contested

Let's get a turnover Butler

Howard finally stepped it up for you fathom

Did Jukes even touch Scheyer there? That should've been on Hahn

Keep attacking that big oaf

If Butler is going to play man they need to stop leaving their guy around the 3-point line to try and double-team. Duke is too smart for that and Butler's lucky they've missed a few open 3s

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) If your guys can slip screens well, because they use lots of up screens to open up shooters. You're right, they're quite good at setting screens. And Zoubek seems to be able to away with setting a lot of moving picks

Jesus Howard is sucking tonight

Zoubek does pose a problem for Butler, but if they're gonna beat me, that's the guy I'm gonna make do it. Not by letting outside shots from the rest of the guys like Baylor let them do

Man-D is the best way to defend Duke, what do you guys think

I didn't realize Hayward was that tall

Then my confession is it's taken me far too long to tell Knight he has bad taste
