The iPad is quite the sexy machine, I'll give it that. But the sexiness of the iPad comes at the cost of functionality. The iPad is not the powerful and fully functional device I had hoped for. Instead the iPad is essentially an oversized iPhone, that cannot make calls, without usb, Flash, or a camera. I love my iPhone, but I love my Macbook a whole lot more because it can experience the web as it was meant to be seen. Unfortunately, a true web experience is impossible with the iPhone, the iPod Touch, and now the iPad. Apple makes millions from the cut they take from every app sold in the App store. Since there are thousands of Flash games and apps on the net already for free, these would certainly slow sales in the App store. Consequently Apple has decided to disable the functionality of Flash, thus making a true web experience on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch impossible. Apple has made a huge mistake by seriously inhibiting one of the most important and prolific technologies on the web, and they should correct their mistake.]]> http://interawesome.com/2010/02/02/a-google-tablet-could-dominate-the-ipad/ January 7th, 2010 | By: Garin Kilpatrick Mozilla’s Firefox, is an open source web browser, and the second most widely used web browser in the world. Initially Mozilla’s browser was named phoenix, then firebird, and then after heated trademark dispute Mozilla settled on the name Firefox. The Firefox logo has evolved during these naming disputes, in step with the convergence of traditional and web 2.0 design.

HD. This is Cinema 2009. This video is the product of 12 Months of Hard Work from editor and YouTube user Kees van Dijkhuizen. Although only uploaded a week ago the video has already over 400,000 views and is well on its way to viral status. Kees has an eerily blue avatar for his YouTube profile picture, within which he is wearing a Santa hat. Although I have certainly seen better Avatars I feel that Kees more than makes up for this shortcoming with the exceptional video below.]]> http://interawesome.com/2009/12/30/342-movies-7-minutes-hd-cinema-2009/ December 29th, 2009 | By: Garin Kilpatrick Google had a big year in 2009.
