Lockerz Redemption?

Woot! Lockerz redemption! I got enough points for something good! *logs on* WTH!! Why can't I redeem anything anymore?

For people who don't know about lockerz. Check it out here. http://www.lockerz.com/

And!! For everybody who had logged onto Lockerz today in hopes of finally redeeming something after accumulating points by logging on EVERY SINGLE DAY and answering their survey questions (Dailies), sadly everything was redeemed by others in a matter of seconds. When every they announce an redemption date, I believe that their are thousands of people out there sitting in front of their computers all trying to get that same laptop/netbook or the same game console/game or the same camera. You know what I mean. And they don't have enough for all of them so while a few people get happy about it. Thousands of other people arn't. I seriously think its unfair for the rest of the people (including me haha..) who didn't get a chance of redeeming something. After all we do provide them with information they are looking for everyday (the Dailies). I seriously think people are going to give up on Lockerz. 

I wouldn't mind if Lockerz raised their points for the items a bit higher so its not as easy to get the items that we want, but make sure the items are in stock. So people like us will look at the items and know that they are there and there is a chance for us to actually get them. That would probably make us all happier. Unless you like to race with thousands of other people to get prizes once a month.

Lets all hope that they change up some stuff and make it easier for all of us to redeem things. Please leave a comment on what you think about Lockerz and do the poll at the side. Thank you!

iPad! And... Modbook??

We all have been anticipating for a new tablet product that apple was working on, and now they have finally shown us what they were working on, the iPad! A blown up iPhone/iTouch. To put it simple, the iPad is like a blown up iPhone. Does bassically everything an iPhone does but more and on a larger screen (9.7-inch). I don't feel like listing out all of the specs so check out this link http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/. So if your just someone who doesn't do much other than surf the web, read ebooks, listen to music, watch movies and other simple things. Then the iPad is for you.
For the others who really wished that apple was going to release a tablet version of the MacBook, sorry but Apple disappointed you. But!!!! There is a solution. The Modbook by Axiotron! What Axitron did was bassically take a MacBook and mod it into a tablet version. It is not some fake thing or something that some guy sits in his garage and modded himself. It is a fabulous tablet that runs Mac OS. Just mentioning it for the people who don't already know about this product. Click here to check out the Modbook in action. Check out this interview with someone from Axiotron at MacWorld Expo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cKtd2zTNEk. The price is currently $1649 from the Axiotron site, but you can supply your own MacBook to be modded for $699.
In the end...
iPad by Apple = Blown up version of iPhone/iTouch with some new features
Modbook by Axiotron = Tablet version of the MacBook
