Stanford University is really great

In 2010, the University ranked 4th in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Stanford is well known for its academics in social sciences, technology / computer science, life sciences, biomedicine, humanities, natural sciences. The S Uni is one of the world's top 5 universities along with Tokyo, Harvard, Keio Universities and University of Pennsylvania.

Note that, students are really into fitness (California baby). You can see sexy men running on the campus (sweaty no T Shirt and some 200 IQ brassy blondes too).

A few Stanford alumni created some small companies such as Hewlett-Packard (William Hewlett and David Packard), Cisco Systems (Sandra Lerner and Leonard Bosack), NVIDIA, SGI, VMware, MIPS Technologies, Yahoo! (Chih-Yuan Yang and David Filo), Google (Sergei Brin and Lawrence Page), Wipro Technologies (Azim Premji), Nike, Gap (Doris Fisher) and Sun Microsystems.

Here is a treat for you ladies: The Stanford Men Swim team.



Sweet dreams ;-)

Next iPad won't have wings

We all know that the iPad is nice product. However, here is a quick list showing all the missing or negative points.
- No multi-tasking (no music while browsing. However should come up in the next OS)
- No drag and drop file management, must use iTunes
- Long synchronization
- Single device (mac, PC...) association with your iPad
- No USB port. iPad will sync itself via USB but only when plugged in via its proprietary dock connector, that you need to purchase.
- Limited storage (16, 32, or 64GB)
- No SD slot
- No support of Adobe Flash
- No HDMI output (to get video out, you’ll need a proprietary dock to VGA adapter, limiting to VGA resolutions
- No full HD (no 1080p)
- No native widescreen (no 16:9)
- No camera
- No GPS for wifi only versions

On the other hand, iPad is a high quality finished product. It's a nice and light object proposing many great applications. The next version of the iPad will hopefully be more complete.
