    Apple's guided tour videos explain a device's marquee features. Apple released a set for the iPad last month, and this week it's added two more: Maps and the App Store. In the Maps clip, a user is in the now familiar "lap up" pose as she uses Maps to explore Paris. I must admit that the Google maps app looks fantastic on the iPad, though I doubt I'd walk around with it out as I've done with my iPhone. The App Store video starts with users playing Plants Vs. Zombies (get your feet off that table!) and a few others before demonstrating to how to find, download and use the app of your choice, as well as store features like categories, features, etc. The info in these clips won't enlighten most of us, but do send them to the novice Apple customers among your family and friends if they still need a little convincing on an iPad purchase.

  • Breakfast Topic: The perfect partner

    We've talked about playing with partners in the past. Many people reported that they enjoy sharing World of Warcraft with their significant others. I have to admit, time spent with my Mom on WoW has been a wonderful experience. I've been watching her explore classes and quests and I must say I am very proud of her. While sometimes solo play is the order of the day, it's great to have good company in the game. Just for fun I recently rolled new alts with my boyfriend. I wanted to play a Warlock and he wanted to play something complimentary, so he chose Priest. It's really awesome to be able to keep going non-stop with no mana breaks. I Life Tap, he Renews. With his Power Word Shield, we take very little damage. The two characters provide excellent synergy and seem to be the perfect pair. We've rolled together in the past, but usually we choose our characters based on what we want to play at any given time. When you roll with a partner do you choose classes that are complimentary?
