The Pot Belly Stove

Sex ed in NJ is required to be taught to seniors only. Well at least that's how it's been set in other schools here

Correct. We have a semester of health and semester of PE each year.

....how do you fail Sex Ed? It's mainly common sense!

Most of what we learned in that class was just plain boring and disgusting. Most of the other people in my class are failing the course.

That's a plus side of PE. I always liked PE. I never understood why people hated it. My school also offers PE as an elective after school

I'm still in adaptive PE which is better than regular PE because it focuses more on physical fitness rather than sports (which I don't have interest in), the class is smaller, and the activities are less rigorous. I like it.

In Illinois, PE is required each semester you attend, in order to graduate.  Health is put in place of PE during 10th grade.

So basically it is required for all of your HS career?

Correct.

The network has picked up the pilot for 'Justice,' a legal show created by Conan's production company, Conaco.

Apple has just announced their latest creation: the iPad
A tablet with iPhone software.

Love the product, hate the name. >_>

[tpirfan28]

Wanted more, left disappointed.  As a user with an iPhone (already have the apps) and netbook (Windows and it runs everything that I need)...why would I need this?  Looking at an ebook reader (have lots of PDF computing manuals) but I'd go with a Sony device that smaller and a lot cheaper.

[TWCToday]

iPad is stupid. Its an over sized iPhone. Now there is no doubt that I LOVE my iPhone but I can not stand this new product.

1. No multitasking
2. The screen is 4:3 for christ sake! Thats going to be nice
3. No USB or any port for that matter. For something meant to be a netbook replacer that is a critical need.
4. No SMS and you are stuck with only ATT for 3G.
5. Seriously the onscreen keyboard looks horrible. That may work for a phone but not for a device meant for web browsing and typing stuff.
6. NO FLASH support!
7. No kind of camera or anything
8. Same tired "iPhone" type design

Apple cut a lot of corners to get the price of this thing down. Its a nice little device if you use it only once in a while but I can not see people using this daily and still use their iPhone/mobile phone.

[Anistorm]

The only thing I like about the iPad is that it has its own ebook store. Maybe I can "go green" and read textbooks on there.

For other stuff, <3 my iPod touch. I can do anything with it.

First off I am not going to buy an iPad, I was all set to buy whatever they came out with today but the iPad is lacking a WOW factor and give me no reason to want one. But to those who complained about the name... Did you think iPod was a good name for an MP3 player when it first came out? How did that name make any sense?

But that aside I want to comment on a few things Martin said...

2. The screen is 4:3 for christ sake! Thats going to be nice

Who cares? As long as it looks good. See one in person then you have a right to complain

... you are stuck with only ATT for 3G.

No you are not, it is unlocked so you can use T-Mobile if they have Micro-SIMs

5. Seriously the onscreen keyboard looks horrible. That may work for a phone but not for a device meant for web browsing and typing stuff.

It's meant to be portable, and it's fine for light browsing but they are selling a keyboard dock for when you need a keyboard.

7. No kind of camera or anything

Seriously? How often would you use the camera? I've had a webcam for years on MacBook/Pros and I've never turned it on.

[Tyler]

It is stupid. I won''t use any network but Verizon... and the camera is a huge feature, I mean I Skype all the time. And there's no way I would buy it since it can't even multitask.

I was really hoping the would announce a Verizon iPhone today, but that didn't happen.

But with everything going 16:9 it would be nice. Plus they are advertising this as a multimedia device. Yes you can use Tmobiles Edge network but you can't use their 3G. I have no AT&T 3G signal at or around my house which sucks. Would be nice to have the option at least.

[tpirfan28]

Can't use T-Mob 3G network.

Somewhere I read the iBook store was going to be in ePub format, which could lend to purchases for other devices.  Maybe.

16:9 or even 16:10 should have been used - they stressed 16:9 HD video a ton during the event today.

Is Facebook running slow for anyone?

My sister is moving out...and somehow I am not excited at all. 

Is Facebook running slow for anyone?

No...

Wow, I just tried using the internet on a cell phone for the first time ever today. I tried using my mom's enV touch, and it took 5 minutes just to log in here (slow phone). I could not click on the "new replies to your posts", so I just gave up, after about 15 minutes of messing with the phone. Not sure how some of you do it
