UK Military Implementing iPad in the Classroom?
The iPad is seeing more combat than living rooms The Next Web reports. Young grunts at the Royal School of Artillery are getting key training and are learning faster than ever before via the slick device, thanks to the interaction and presentation of real-world combat situations.

Are We Apple Fans of Faith?

Should You Consider an iMac or a Mac Pro?
Yesterday Apple launched new iMacs, a new Mac Pro, a new Cinema Display and…a Battery Charger. Yes, it was a great day. And yes, many “pro” users still don’t know whether they should out their works in the hands of a Mac Pro beast or just go with an iMac by choosing the highest configuration.
