iPad wins the day

So I just bought a 3rd gen iPad. I just can't even begin to describe how awesome this thing is. You know why iPad wins over so many other tablets? Many analysts and bloggers will list off features and tout the quality and design, etc. But there is one factor that wins over all of them: when you pick it up, you just don't want to put it down, and that overrides any other consideration that the competition might claim to be able to do just as well or better and/or less expensive. There are good reasons for Apple's pricing and I'm not going to go into them. You can research interviews with Steve Jobs where he talks about that. What I will say is that I agree with those reasons and at the end of the day, what really matters is that you just don't want to put this thing down. It can almost replace your desktop and that's simply amazing. Of course, I typed this on my new iPad.

Top Cop Dead at 86

Sheriff Andy Taylor, Defense Attorney Ben Matlock and beloved actor Andy Griffith has died at the ripe age of 86. Andy was probably one of, if not the last of Hollywood's true 'heroes'. What I mean by that is those actors and actresses who, through their TV shows and/or movies, instilled wholesome decent values into the viewing public. Nowadays, Hollywood is just the propaganda machine for globalist governments. Everything on the big or small screen today has hidden messages and hidden political agendas. The Andy Griffith show was wholesome entertainment. Matlock was wholesome entertainment. He put away the bad guys, plain and simple. And they were always very obviously bad guys, no grey areas. Nowadays, the 'bad guys' are, more often than not, dissidents. Those who go against the grain, or more specifically, the government. Terrorism plays a large part now in movies and TV. Usually middle eastern terrorists, or former Russian Republic terrorists. Hell, if a terrorist had ever come to Mayberry, Andy would have had Aunt Bea fix him some cornbread and grits, and lectured him on the error of his ways. And it would have worked, too.

Andy Griffith's death isn't the final symbol of the end of an era. It's just one that made me focus on that end. And the beginning of the new one, for better or worse.
