Pre Order Steve Jobs By Walter Isaacson

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." ~ Steve Jobs (1955 – 2011)


The official Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson just got a cover, new release date, and its third name change. Previously known as "iSteve: The Book of Jobs" and then "Steve Jobs: A Biography", the book is now titled simply as "Steve Jobs". The release date is also revised, moving up from March 6th, 2012 to November 21, 2011. Like an Apple poster, the newly released book cover features a portrait of Steve Jobs with minimal text.

Fling for your iPad



One thing that the iPad is used for by many people apart from being a relatively hassle-free device used for surfing the Internet would be casual gaming. Many hit titles on the iPhone has already been ported over to Apple's best selling tablet series, where the mechanics of the game remain the same - you will make use of your fingers to manipulate icons or characters on the screen to complete the game's objective.

What if there was a different - and more efficient manner of playing a game? That is what Ten One Design thinks, hence coming up with the revolutionary tactile game controller known as Fling for the iPad. Now, if it doesn't work for you because you're too used to your fingers, don't fling (pun not intended) your iPad against the wall out of frustration. Ten One Design has the pedigree to back up their cause - they are, after all, the creator of the first capacitive touch-screen stylus for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

The Fling is a patent pending device that adheres to the iPad's screen courtesy of a pair of suction cups located over the directional pad of any applicable game in order to offer physical resistance, and what they hope to be ultimate control and superb response for a fully immersive gaming experience. With Fling's special transparent and flexible spiral design, you will be able to enjoy an unrestricted view of all on-screen action.

Fling is compatible with any iPad game that sees the use of a directional pad, or virtual joystick within, and that includes Meteor Blitz, Across Age and Super Megaworm amongst others. Fling will retail for $19.95 for a single pack, while it will cost another $10 for a 2-pack. Are your fingers up to the challenge, and surely that small investment might make you hit that high score you've always wanted to achieve?
