Apple has just made the 2nd iPad. It has a 1GHz dual-core A5 chip and cameras, both on the front and back. The new CPU is supposed to be up to twice as fast with graphics performance up to nine times better than on the original iPad. While power requirements have been kept the same. Battery life is the same with Apple saying it has 10 hours of battery life. The prices have been left the same, starting at $499 for a 16GB WiFi-only iPad 2 and stretching up to $829 for a WiFi + 3G SKU with 64GB of storage. The new iPad will come with an HDMI output capable of 1080p which will cost $39 for an Apple Digital AV Adapter. You get an enlarged speaker grille on the back and the same 1024 x 768 resolution and IPS LCD screen technology as on the original iPad. 720p video recording at 30fps will be on rear-facing camera, which can also do a 5x digital zoom where the front-facing imager will record at a lower VGA resolution at 30fps.
The iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner than its the original at a 8.8mm, and a little lighter at just over 600g, and you get a choice between white and black.

Volkswagen’s new hybrid
Volkswagen’s latest car, the ultra-efficient diesel-hybrid XL1, debuted at the Qatar Auto Show, immediately garnering attention both for its looks and its specs.
The XL1 boasts both a teeny two-cylinder diesel and a teeny plug-in electric engine–the diesel engine puts out 48hp and the electric only 27hp–so though it may look like an electric supercar ,it isnt quite as powerful as it. Early impressions from drivers seems positive–Autocar liked the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and the gull-wing doors, though wished the engine had a bit more power behind it.
But that lack of power is responsible for maybe the most impressive spec the VW has is that it has 261 MPG. I think this is great for the future and the supply of diesel and gas. so we can have lower costs on the fuel economy.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2/2
Ok Multiplayer on Call of Duty Black ops is very interesting. All of the modifications you can get for each gun. You don’t have have a gun if you don’t want it. You earn COD points to unlock guns and to unlock killstreaks. Unlock camo for guns to make them look cool and deck them out with mods also. If you have an emblem you can unlock the emblem for your gun so people know your symbol so they know not to play with you since you wipe em. I have prestiged once because you only have to be level 50 to prestige. If you prestige you can keep some of your stuff but not everything. Zombies is very cool online too. You have a much more in-depth story to play from and can play by yourself if you so desire. But that is going to be all for this blog this week. Play the game.

Call of Duty Black Ops
Call of Duty Black Ops. It is one of the most sought after games of the year. Almost any fan of the game has either bought it or is very anxious about buying it. I have bought it and i enjoy playing it. They added zombies back on to it and have 3 different levels even a version like an arcade game. The campaign was very interesting because of the story line and the plot of it all. You play a man that is named mason and find out that he had been brain washed by the Soviet Union. But he was also counter brain washed by a captive in the prison he was in and his name was Resnov. He was telling mason to kill a German general named Steiner. It is a very good game and has a great campaign. The zombies is also very interesting with the characters you get in each level of zombies. Come in next week for more.
