New iPad Ad

Apple has released a new iPad ad on their website. The new ad continues with the company's new "iPad is" campaign. Seeing how it is such a new product to many, the commercial seems to try and answer the question, "what is iPad?"

Google for Doodle - New Zealand Edition

Google is awesome! If you're in New Zealand and you go on Google, you just might catch a very rare Google logo.  This one was designed by Google's own Dennis Huang as usual, but by a little girl by the name of Amelia Abbott from Nelson.


The search engine giant held a competition to see what New Zealand youth find particularly Kiwi.  All of the entries were voted on and the winner won the prize of having her doodle displayed on Google New Zealand's home page for one day in 2010.
