So apparently data usage growth is declining on AT&T. Sadly, it is still growing fast, just not quite as fast as it has been over the past three years. Perhaps this is the time when AT&T will finally start to catch up to a point where it can meet the demand (says the girl who experienced two dropped calls today thanks to AT&T, yea I'm a little bit bitter). Bottom line, data usage is just going to continue to grow as more information and technologies become available. It would be nice if we had a network to meet that growing demand.

Before I begin...
Before I begin, let me state that if I had the obscene money to spend, I would own an iPad. They are not as powerful as most laptops and small things like non-removable batteries bug me; however, I can imagine myself using the device and being slightly more productive. At the very least I want to play the racecar game…
My initial point is that the iPad is more of a trendy gadget, than a useful device. Exclusions of a physical keyboard, USB ports, and removable/replaceable batteries, will continue to divide iPad users from non-iOS tablet PC users. The Crux 360 (others as well) is making an effort to bridge this divide and allow iPad users a physical keyboard solution using bluetooth.
The Crux 360 is an iPad case with a bluetooth keyboard built into the cover. It’s slim and sleek design do well to complement the iPad, and the overall package is very professional looking. The Crux 360 costs about $150, but consider that is after the purchase of the iPad itself. After its added up, users have shelled out a minimum of $750 for the device and accessory. Certainly, netbook or tablet PC alternatives are much cheaper and fuller featured, but the Crux 360 is a good step in the right direction to bring the iPad closer to the competition.

Google employees really have it made! In a world where other companies are facing suicides from unhappy workers (http://www.tomshardware.com/
What started with incredible dining facilities, and electric scooters to traverse the large office spaces, has quickly taken an even greater turn. Google recently teamed up with an online service that bids out odd-jobs to anyone willing to do them. Employees no longer need to fret over getting the laundry done, or the house cleaned; furthermore, they also will not need to despair over paying for this service. Google will be picking up the tab offering the service as perks to employees.
Now if only Google had slides or pool tables or cool offices…
Touchè Google, touché…
