Ipad overview

First lets deal with the jokes
then the basic stuff -well no frills writing -
you'll get the positives from every site -but i have listed down some key omissions

what was Apple thinking .ipad .i mean .really ? didtn they not have any women in their team
-whats the next version gonna be Itampon?
Smaller ,comfortable & easier to use
oh sorry that would be the Ipad nano
-great product ,pity we can only use it 3 weeks of the month
or the reverse
-Ipad-we have priced it low as you can use it only 5 days of the month
-itampon -for those days at the beach
-now i know why no camera .Ipad -Yikes
-3 versions Ipad nano for the small girls .IPAD classic for the big girls & regular for the others

Now the things which are a dealbreaker
Ipad-NO multitaskng -i mean its a tablet not a phone . i want to do 3-4 things at once or atleast keep them open

Ipad-NO USB- so you cant plug in that spare HDD of yours or SD cards
Ipad-NO 16:9 so no widescreen
_ipad-NO HD- i mean cmon -what do we do with all our collection
IPAD_NO drag drop -goddamn Itunes again
Ipad-NO camera -cmon videochat ?
Ipad-NO flash -Not a big deal fr me ,but might be for others

Great pricing (thought it wll atleast be 900$)
great Books (kindle is pretty much f#ked )
Great for gaming it will be
Iworks ,never used it so cant comment

pretty much it

pl comment if anything

How to save Rs 20000 p.m/Top10 tips to avoid a personal recession

A lil' something ,you can add your own....


1-Stop shopping – things you can live without –like that new jacket the chic salesgirl said would look good on you ,new glares, the must have new cd of your fav band ,sneakers ,jeans etc .atleast rs 5000 a month
Im not even referring to LV handbags or jimmy choos

2-Stop having those endless cups of Rs 70 coffees at barista or CCday just because you have 20 minutes to kill.you can whip a mean frothy cappuccino at home .rs 1050 saved in a month over 15 cups a month

3-Reduce eating out twice/thrice to once a week .here;s the chance to really experiment on your culinary skills and show everyone too
Atleast Rs 2000 a month

4- Big nights OUT get translated to big nights IN. every night out a club is min Rs 4000 per couple if both drink . Find that friend you always ignored if he’s got a nice pad ,and lets parttayyyyyyy at his place.
Drink Indian instead of Imported .do you really need that rs 800 per peg of Grey goose
the entire frigging bottle of Smirnoff doesn’t cost that much+ plus you’ll be helping the economy but not your liver
two such outings cut down =rs 8000 per month

5-big nights out doesn’t mean big car procession .8 people going ,need not mean 5 cars going to a club ,just because everyone has one. take just 2
Plan your trips and pool up friends in day time
20% saving on your fuel bill will be atleast Rs 1000 per month

6-you don’t have to watch every movie that comes to town .movie outing at a multiplex for family of 4 costs rs 1000.I know Dark night is great ,but 4 times !!!!!grab a frigging DVD instead .Trade with friends
One movie a month instead of 3 .will save Rs 2000

7-Supermarket trips need to be written out in advance and stuck to.No impulse buys it will avoid that expense of Rs 450 on a jar of imported flavoured margarine which you don’t know why you picked up and lies there on your shelf
Atleast rs 200 per week

8-This one for the ladies .do you really ,really need that spa,facial,massage ,haircut just before the big do on Saturday
No figures on this one .it could be 1000’s

9-do you really need to send that lame joke to 17 friends on SMS.trimming little extras & charges on your phone bill can save Rs 500 per month

10-Finally the obvious Credit card Bills , electricity & Travel.
pay off all cards to avoid the interest trap.on the other hand cash purchases done on card intead could rack up points
Switch off appliances /lights when you don’t need them
A simple experiment in a office of 60 people –switching off AC’s/lights during lunch time ,and when people are not around –yielded a savings Of Rs 13000 on a bill of Rs 87000 per month
And do you really think you’ve done so much work that you need to spend 1000’s on a 3 day break every month ..nnnnnaaaa
If you do ,go by road instead of by flight ,and stay somewhere cheaper .you can shop more ..
Now start again from point 1.
Cheers ;-)
