Mountain Lion From Apple – A New Way To Work From Home
Apple released news about their upcoming OSX update, Mountain Lion, and there are a ton of really great features (and I’m sure at least “one more thing”). But here’s one that caught my eye:
Why An iPad Is Better Than A Laptop – 9 Months Later
Nearly two years ago, I purchased the first iPad. I still have it, and haven’t moved to the iPad 2 for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that the original iPad hasn’t slowed me down at all.
Then, about nine months ago, I wrote up a few notes on why I felt an iPad is better than a laptop.

It was super easy to install (one HDMI cable, one power cord), and relatively painless to set up (we had to restore since iTunes wouldn’t hold onto our account credentials).
The interface is much more clean and the hook into Netflix is nice, especially during our free trial period (more Arrested Development and Coupling, please!).
Now that we have it up and running and have been playing with it for a good while, here are five things to keep in mind before picking one up:
