5:01 AM - The Amazing Spider Man Will Be Released in 3D on July 3

Directed by Marc Webb, starred by Andrew Garfield, The Amazing Spider Man will hit the cinema on July 3rd. This new sequel is still produced by Sony and Columbia Pictures. The story background in this movie will back to the time when spider man was still in high school, and just like other Hollywood movies, it will be released in 3D.

About who would play Peter Parker before it was decided, there were many choices. But before that, we should know why Tobey Maguire quits. Well, the reason is simple, because Tobey is no long suitable to play a high school student. So there were six candidates to play this role, including Andrew Garfield from "Boy A", Aaron Johnson from "Kick-Ass", Russia handsome actor Anton Logan from "Star Trek", Logan Lerman from "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief", Jamie Bell from "Billy Elliot" and Alden Ehrenreich from "Tetro". In the end, the company chose Andrew Garfield, who has an excellent performance in Social Network.

About him, Marc Webb, the director said, "Even his name is not yet known by everybody, but no matter who has worked with him can feel his talents. He is one of the very rare actors who posses wisdom, gentle and humor. Just remember what I say now, you'll love the Spider-Man played by Andrew Garfield." Fans of Andrew Garfield, you can watch it and other free ipad movie after being released.

So what will happen to Peter Parker in high school? Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. And then the story begins.

Cast members in attendance included Spidey himself, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Rhys Ifans (The Lizard/Dr. Curt Connors), Denis Leary (Captain Stacy), Martin Sheen (Uncle Ben), Sally Field (Aunt May), Webb and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.

As to the 3D release, the producer has something to say. The use of 3D made possible due to recent advances in technology, said producer Matt Tolmach. "It was very, very clear to all of us that this is a movie that was meant to be told in 3D. 3D is a form of storytelling, not just a way to sell the movie to audiences."

I guess most people will go to cinema to experience 3D effect, of course, if anyone who thinks there is no need to spend the money to watch it, you can convert dvd to ipad on mac, if you own an iPad and a Mac. But to me, I'm look forward to this movie with all my expectations.

5:26 AM - Features of iOS 6: Siri,FaceBook,FaceTime and So On

WWDC was held at the Moscone in San Francisco, Apple brought us the whole new iOS 6, which has more than 200 new functions, certainly can give users better experiences. This new update is only not available for iPad 1, iPod touch 1-3, so most Apple users have the chance to enjoy the functions that iOS will bring us this fall. Now let's see what features Apple has introduced about iOS 6 at WWDC.

1. Siri. This voice assistant is always the first one to recommend. Siri is one the most impressive features in iOS 6, but only new iPad can use it, of course and iPhone 4S. The voice functionality of Siri will be richer and more humane. In the future Apple will cooperate with a number of car manufacturers to develop products that can support Siri. Now except for figuring out how to transfer dvd to ipad to watch DVD movies, new iPad users also can play jokes with Siri. Siri in iOS 6 can support Chinese, French, Italian and other new languages, which means this voice assistant is more international.

2. 3D Map App. The most direct result of competition between Apple and Google is that Apple will have its own map app. iPhone users have been using Google Maps for a long time, but this time, Apple released 3D map app at WWDC, the cooperation between Apple and Google now is over. Apple promised "vector-based map elements" that provide for smooth graphics and text, as well as "incredibly fluid" panning, tilting, and zooming.



3. FaceTime. As iOS user, who wouldn't use FaceTime to video chat between each other? But there is one disadvantage about FaceTime, that we only can use it via Wi-Fi, well, this issue wouldn't exist any more. iOS 6 enables FaceTime calls over a cellular connection, 3G network. So now even we are outside, there is no Wi-Fi, we still can chat with friends via FaceTime, Apple will also unify your Apple ID and your phone number, enabling you to not only take calls on the move but answer calls from your Mac or your iPad with FaceTime.

4. Facebook. Finally, only Twitter integration is available on iOS devices before, now Facebook has been added in the list too. We can now post to Facebook directly through Apple's app. If you have watched some interesting movie on iPad with dvd to ipad converter, you can just share it to Facebook directly and introduce it to all your friends, very nice right?

5. Safari. First and foremost is the ability to sync open tabs from Safari on a desktop to Safari on an iOS device via iCloud. Brand new safari browser will also add offline reading feature. Now, Safari can cache full websites for offline reading, not just links.

2:53 AM - Five New Features iOS 6 Will Have, According to the Rumors

WWDC is coming in a week, however, according to the rumors, we won't see any iOS device in this conference, but what we won't miss is the information about iOS 6, Mountain Lion, iCloud and so on. iOS 6 will meet us until this fall, but there are many guesses about it, one of them is that many new features will be added to iOS 6.

The first one is MountainLionCenter, it is a Cydia tweak, which can allow users to freely control the notification center, In addition, it supports both portrait and landscape screen mode. Just like how Mac users open the notification center, users can tune out the interface via slipping the screen from right to left. In addition, if using MountainLionCerter, some icons in status bar may be hidden so developers add those icons to MountainLionCerter so that users can view them conveniently.

The second is Siri. Right, you may feel excited about this news, because generally, iPhone 4S is the only device that can use Siri right now. We can not only rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies on the Retina Display, according to 9to5Mac, Siri will come to iPad with iOS 6. However, only new iPad can have it, so if you own a new iPad, you can talk to Siri at that time. It will come complete with music playback, iMessaging, calendar managing, reminders, weather, maps integration, emailing, notes, contacts searching, Safari integration, Worlfram-Alpha searching and more. The only thing missing from Siri for the iPad will be the phone-related commands.



The third one is iCloud Tabs. iCloud Tabs allows iCloud users to view the labels in Safari on multiple iOS and Mac devices. After clicking the iCloud Tabs on the iOS 6 device or Mac, the opened label on each device will be displayed in a synchronized list, so users can quickly select the label. iCloud Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch was hidden in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Another one is Do Not Disturb. This feature lets users turn off the notifications and messages from notification center. Sources say that while the option is present directly in the Mountain Lion Notification Center, the Do Not Disturb toggle is stationed like the Airplane Mode button in settings.

Of course, the new features of iOS 6 are more than these. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac relays what trusted sources told him, that iOS 6 will also include Mail VIPs, which is a new feature Apple announced in OS X Mountain Lion that works in a manner similar to Gmail's Priority Inbox in that it automatically collects your important email messages.

We can do many things on iPad right now, like how to transfer photos from pc to ipad, and if these rumors about iOS 6 new features are true, it will be more convenient for us to make the most of iPad and other iOS devices, so about the authenticity of these information, we just wait for the WWDC in next week.

Last week, Apple updated "Free App of the Week" in App Store, even we don't know if the developers of those apps agree to reduce the price voluntarily or Apple has promised to make up for them, no matter what, for us, it is good news though. Moreover, another good news comes recently, which is Apple updates the "Editors' Choice" in App Store.

Apple says they will present the most innovative applications and fun game in the "Editors' Choice" to users. Taking a look at this section constantly to know the newest apps and games, information of updates in App Store, or visit the former "Editors' Choice" to add more excellent applications and games for iDevices. So that Apple can be more flexible when selecting applications. And Apple makes it clear in iTunes that all the recommended applications and games are screened by their editorial team. This function now mainly serve for iPhone and iPad, so if you own one of them, why not try the recommendations, also, if you prefer to watch movies on iPad, you can transfer a tons of movies to it with ipad converter.

"Editors' Choice" will save a lot of time for users who want to choose the wanted games and apps. If you trust Apple's editorial team, then now you can go to "Editors' Choice" to see what apps they are recommending. Some current Editors' Choice picks on the iOS App Store include the new Facebook Camera app, Extreme Skater, Sketchbook Ink, and Air Mail. On the Mac App Store, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Cobook are being highlighted as Editors' Choices.



So you can see that this activity is not just helpful for us users, it's also a chance for game developers, obviously, after all, most people will try the app that recommended by Apple's editors. You know, there are millions of apps and games in App Store, and not every of them will be known by users, unless an app appears in the various stores' top 10 or at least top 25 lists, chances are that most users will never see it unless Apple decides to feature the app in its "new and noteworthy" section.

Now here are the questions. Are the "Editors' Choices" selected by curators based on what they consider a top app product? We don't know. What the criteria would be to have an app be selected as an editor's choice, we have no idea. Even Apple has declared that the editors are from Apple, still we don't know. But one thing is for sure, which is the app or game must be worthy, if not, there is no chance that it would be chosen by editors.

When you really don't know what apps and games to install in iDevices, you can consider "Editors' Choices", and download them in iTunes, and here is a tip for you, if you have downloaded anything in iTunes that has DRM protection, free drm removal can help.

3:51 AM - The Great Gatsby Starred by Leonardo DiCaprio Will Hit Theatres in December

In the end of this year, Leonardo DiCaprio's new work "The Great Gatsby" will hit the theatre, which is adapted from the novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. After the first trailer being released, this remake of classic novel has attracted the full attention. Moreover, the mysterious poster really surprise and confuses audiences, also lets people more interest in this movie.

The Great Gatsby was published in 1925, is a short story based on New York and Long Island in 1920s, and it's regarded as the symbol of the "Jazz Age" of American literature. However, it was not popular when published, the sales was less than 24,000 copies when F. Scott Fitzgerald still alive. And it was ignored in the Great Depression and World War II, until 1950s reprinted, it only received extensive attention. In subsequent decades, it has become the standard textbook for high school and university literature courses. If is called one of the greatest English novels in twenty century. Available downloaded at Amazon, and if you want to read it on other portable devices, you may need drm removal free to remove DRM protection.

About the plots of this novel or this movie, I bet most people already know. The protagonist of the novel is Nick Callaway, who is a stock trader in Wall Street, the neighbor of Gatsby. Gatsby is a very young and rich person. Callaway later experiences that no matter how dignified on the appearance of these wealthy people are, actually they all are very indifferent. Gatsby loves Daisy, who already marries to Tom. In a car accident, Daisy kills Tom's lover, and to protect Daisy, Gatsby says it's him who kills Tom's lover, because of this, in the end, he is killed by the woman's husband. Almost on one participates in Gatsby's funeral, including Daisy. Callaway finally found Jordan, a man who plans to attend the funeral, and aware that the so-called identity of Gatsby is just an illusion. In the end, Callaway moves to the Midwest, leaving Gatsby's wishful dreams and sorrow behind.

The remake is directed by Baz Luhrmann, the cast includes Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. Judging by the amount of hits on youtube (1.5 million +) in two days, and if you have downloaded the trailer and want to watch it on your iPod, change it to the supported format with m4v to mp4 converter. The trailer gives us a taste of Luhrmann's classic over-the-top visuals and beautiful imagery. Not to mention some fantastically sparkly flapper costumes.

Costumed by Catherine Martin, this new movie definitely has style, at least as far as we can tell from the preview. With the glitz and glam of every flapper dress, cloche hat and fur wrap, we definitely felt like we had traveled back in time when watched the trailer. But as fashion sleuths, of course we wanted to know: will the movie accurately depict 1920s fashion?

More information about this movie will be known with the coming of second trailer, and there is much time for us to imagine the details about it, after all, we won't watch this masterpiece until December, so keep eyes on this movie.

2:43 AM - Three Best New Games for iPad

With the Retina Display, new iPad is the best portable device to watch HD movies and play games, we can watch our favorite DVD movies on the big screen with mac dvd ripper for ipad, but mostly, I guess we prefer to play games on it when we are waiting for someone or when just feeling boring. So except for Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, these two most-frequently played games, what are the other latest and most fantastic games we can play on iPad?

1. Virtua Tennis Challenge.

As fans of Tennis, I bet you all have played this game if you have Android devices. Yes, Sega has released this sport title masterpiece for Android a long time ago, now this game comes to iOS for the first time.

Seriously, if you love this sport, then Virtua Tennis Challenge is the best game for you to enjoy the fun to play tennis. In this game, you can imagine yourself to be anyone, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, whoever you want to be. Slice, lob and hit your best top spin as you take on the world's best and compete against 50 players in 18 stadiums around the globe. Build concentration by making plays that match your player's style; unleashing a super shot that will make your opponent sweat. Sounds very exciting, right?



This game just arrives in App Store, and I just can't wait to play it.

2. Fieldrunners 2.

Fieldrunners was one of the most iOS games before, but since it hasn't any update for almost one year, so maybe some of you have forgotten it. However, the developer just announces that Fieldrunners 2 will launch on App Store in a month, first the iPhone edition, then iPad HD edition.

Even we have to wait for a month, but we can know how this sequel will be from the images that have been published by the developer. It expands on the gameplay of the first one with more, and more varied, maps, over 20 upgradeable towers, and more than 30 enemy types trying to ruin them.

Considering the popularity of Fieldrunners, I bet Fieldrunners 2 will excite many game players.

3. Infinity Blade II Update-Vault of Tears.

About this game, I guess you don't need more information from me. In the conference of new iPad, we already witnessed the wonders of this work.

So what does Chair will offer us in Vault of Tears this time? There are two features about this update I have to mention. First, this update is totally free. Second, it's more socialized, adding a treasure map that marks treasure locations. Also, ClashMob is being expanded to allow anyone to participate in fights via Twitter or Facebook - no game required.

For game players, you mustn't miss these games, of course, except playing games on iPad, we also can watch movie, only there is one tip for movies fans, which is most videos have DRM protection, and we may need media drm removal. No matter what you would like to do on your iPad, just enjoy the excellent feeling that it gives you.

3:00 AM - Top Five Best PDF Readers for You

PDF is used widely nowadays, no matter for individual needs or for work. With the increasing demands to use PDF files, it's very easy to create pdf on mac and on Windows, also, it's very necessary to have a good PDF reader, but some of us may feel confused about which PDF reader to choose, so here is the list of best five PDF readers.

1. Adobe Reader X. Since Adobe creates this format, naturally, it has its own reader. With Adobe Reader X, you can view and print PDF files in a very easy and fast way. And the content can be any kind multimedia file, photos, videos, emails and so on. A great thing about Adobe Reader X is its ability work with CAD designs and geospatial maps converted to Portable Document Format. Also, in case you need to locate any element within a PDF file, the application offers a comprehensive file searching engine that finds what you need in a matter of seconds.

2. Nuance PDF Reader. Maybe you have noticed that most PDF readers that we can find in Internet are free, so is this one. What's importantly is that this tool also can help you convert PDF files to any other format, like Word, Excel, HTML and so on, of course, speaking of HTML, I have been asked for many times what is the best pdf to html converter for mac, well, looks like Nuance only can support Windows, so if you are a Mac user, try iStonsoft, it supports a very good converter to convert PDF to HTML.



3. Nitro Reader. According to the comments of users who have tried this tool, looks like Nitro is pretty good as a free gadget, offers PDF creation from over three hundred formats, offers in-application functionality to create PDF from any file, with predefined profiles, as well as completely customized output options, enables to save all images contained in a PDF document as separate files to any folder or destination without modifying the original PDF file.

4. Foxit Reader. The functions of this tool First I want to talk about humanized interface design. It has clean, easily distinguishable icons, and the toolbar is still customizable. In addition, you can now choose your color scheme (black, blue, orange, purple). It's not ground-breaking, but it's a nice touch. You can also choose a new ribbon-style menu and customize your own shortcut keys.

5. Sumatra PDF. Loading almost instantly, renders pages extremely quickly, and thanks to a huge number of keyboard shortcuts, you can zip through nearly any document with ease. Sumatra PDF, thanks to a lack of frills and extraneous features, is a great candidate for a portable drive or for in-browser use for someone who wants quick-loading PDF files without the lag caused by features they won't ever use.

Now you don't have to be bothered by which to choose among all those PDF tools, you can only test these five and choose the best one depend on your own needs.

3:23 AM - MacBook Air Will Feature Retina Display just Like MacBook Pro and iMac?

The new iPad features Retina display, so it's very good to rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies, but do you think iPad is the only iDevice that equipped with Retina display, of course not, according to the latest rumor, MacBook Pro and iMac will have Retina display, which we know about that, so how about MacBook Air, is it on the list too? According to 9to5Mac, the answer is positive.

Even the status of MacBook Air is not that important as MacBook Pro, but this time, Apple decides to treat them equally, so MacBook Air will be getting a retina display, too. That, for those of you following along at home, means that all the major products in Apple's Mac lineup - MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac - will be getting the same retina display treatment that the iPad got back in March.

There is a big chance that MacBook Air won't have an obvious improvement in design, but Apple is reported to be working on new 11.6 inch and 13.3 inch MacBook Air models. And it's said that Air will get Ivy Bridge processors, and better graphics technology needed to handle Retina-level resolutions. Batteries will also allegedly get an upgrade, much as the third-generation iPad did, owing to the extra power consumed by high pixel densities.



But we won't see the next generation MacBook Air in WWDC next month, because Apple is still working on the unfixed problems of Air, including a Retina display (and more powerful internals to handle it) poses a significant challenge both in terms of heat and power consumption for the device. So unlike the MacBook Pro, which is expected to launch at WWDC, we may need more time to see new Air.

So until WWDC, I guess Apple won't tell anything to media, at least the official statement, but from all kinds of signs, some of us can forecast a little, like the new operating system running on the MacBook Pro - Mountain Lion - could come to us in less than a month. In June, we'll know if all these rumors are true or not, but the Air we are talking right here, we just need to continue guessing.

Whether the retina display will come to all these computers in all their size variations, nor whether there will also be (cheaper) non-retina display models available, nor how much a retina display Mac will cost, we still know nothing, but considering Retina display can give us more excellent feeling to watch movies or play games, which has been improved on iPad if you have tried to put movies on ipad. Nevertheless, assuming these reports are accurate, then this year's WWDC should offer quite a lot to look forward to.

After less than a month, we'll know everything about new Apple devices, even there won't be much information about Air, but still we are looking forward to it.

Mac users are lucky, especially when they need to create their own PDF files, because Mac can create PDF files without any additional software, which is very convenient for users who need to use PDF files in work or just to meet personal needs. If you haven't tried to make PDF on Mac, then keep reading.

Why Mac would add this built-in function? Simply, because the application of PDF files is more and more extensive, especially as a file transfer medium, PDF is more popular than other formats, like word and so on, what advantages does PDF have to let itself become the main tool to fun files. Then let's see the basic information about PDF, first from its name. PDF is short for Portable Document Format. We can see its features and functions from the name. Portable, which means it certainly can support most portable devices, with the fast development of handheld devices, especially the popular Apple devices, PDF is needed more than ever. It's very convenient to read magazines, files and eBooks in PDF format.

When using PDF files on Mac, it's more convenient than Windows, if want to create PDF files on Windows, we need a pdf creator, however, on Mac we can use the built -in function to do that. Now let's see how to do it.

Step1. Open the files you want to save as PDF. Here, you are allowed to run the application which the PDF files will be used as the basis. For example, if you want to make a PDF document and sent to others by e-mail, just press the "Mail" of your Mac computer.

3:25 AM - The Share of iPad Is Increasing in SMBs

With no doubt, the status of Apple in big businesses is incomparable, let's see, iPad is always the first choice when those companies decide to utilize Tablet as office supply. But Apple wants more than this, so they continue to extend their occupancy in small-to-medium-sized businesses, and they succeed. According to iGR, more and more small businesses begin to use iPad run business.

When individual plans to buy a Tablet, he only considers the price and fashion, which means iPad could be the first choice, when companies are ready to buy Tablets to run business, they also consider two things, price and functions. If they don't want to buy the newest iPad, then the price is totally acceptable, as to functions, we not only can download free movies for iPad to watch them, but also do lots of works in business, so the vast majority of those interested in a tablet only want one -- the Apple iPad -- according to a new study by wireless and mobile market research consultancy iGR.



Apple has been trying to enlarge the influence in SMB, after all, that's also a big market, so Apple has to ensure that when those SMBs plan to buy Tablets, iPad will be the first product that comes to their minds. And I think the search result from iGR won't disappoint them. The survey, by iGR, shows that about a quarter (24%) of SMBs supply their employees with tablets as part of an official policy. While tablets are often positioned as augmenting laptops and PCs, 26% of the SMBs surveyed indicated their company would be buying fewer or far fewer laptops as a result of their tablet purchases, and iPad occupies a large share. Of course, 47% of respondents said they use their tablets for both business and personal reasons, personal reasons only can mean to have fun with iPad, like watching movies with dvd to ipad converter or playing games.

Then why do SMBs focus on Tablets more often? The most reported reason for purchasing additional tablets in 2012 was "substituting for laptops" (31.9%), followed by "workforce is increasing" (31%). 55% of SMBs managed and maintained tablet devices, so this is definitely good news for Apple. But the change is not easy to make, even iPad has been used in many industries, including schools, governments, airlines and so on, but to make it become the main tool in business needs more time, the majority of companies with plans to buy tablets indicated that their plans to purchase notebooks remained about the same. IT departments surveyed were likely to oversee the purchase, management, maintenance and support of desktop computers (90%), and laptops and netbooks (89%).

Even the situation is very tough for iPad to dominate small-to-medium-sized businesses, but the opportunity is still there, it's just Apple needs to try harder and uses the different marketing mode, like Lion Server, which is a very good method, if Apple can think more good ideas like this, I think iPad will be the first choice for SMBs too.

If you really love the zombie TV shows or movies, then you must know "The Walking Dead", it's not exaggerated to say that The Walking Dead is the first real Zombie theme TV show we have watched. The teleplay is adapted from Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse comic book series, except for the TV show, The Walking Dead app for iOS is going to be released very soon.

Telltale Games finally has the first episode (out of five) for The Walking Dead, many game players who have tried this game all say it's very exciting and thrilling, so we iPad users can't help wondering when this game will come to iOS, luckily, Telltale plans to release iOS app this summer. The Walking Dead for iOS is set to be an adventure-style horror game set in the same grisly zombie-infested environment found in the television series and in the monthly comic series. If you know how to put movies on iPad, you can watch this TV show on your iPad before the game released, I think it's more interesting to play this game if have watched the teleplay before.

Telltale has released the trailer for the first part of the five part series, entitled A New Day, in the hopes that it will hold fans over until the application arrives on the App Store. In this episode, you'll play through a vehicle named Lee, a loosely defined character with a mysterious history and innocence about him. The opening takes place right before the world goes to hell. Lee is in the back of a police car, handcuffed, talking to the officer driving when, suddenly, the officer strikes a walker with his vehicle. The crash is a stomach-churning, and the action after is intense. Lee survives, but finds himself in a world where the dead shamble and the living sprint.

Speaking of the TV show, "A New Day" does take advantage of the episodic format and presents itself as an installment in a longer story. If you know how to convert m4v to mp4, then you can upload the whole two seasons to your iPad, after watching the TV shows, you will be more familiar to play this game. You're warned at the start of the game that choices you make in this chapter might not have immediate repercussions, but could have impact on later episodes.

3:07 AM - Haywire-The Most Weird Spy Thriller Directed by Steven Soderbergh You Have Even Seen

So I totally understand all the weird aspects in "Haywire", let me see, the actress is an athlete who I never know before, the co-stars are a bunch of Hollywood super stars like Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbende and so on, but the most interesting thing is many of them only have few scenes, I mean they are the most expensive actors right now, why they are willing to just show their faces in this movie? Because of the director, Steven Soderbergh or the plot is really good?

First, let's see what "Haywire" is about. Before that, if you have downloaded this movie with DRM protection, you may need free drm removal to fix that problem. Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) is a highly trained operative who works for a company that takes on extremely dangerous assignments that the government cannot authorize, while on a mission overseas, Mallory is double-crossed by her own agency and has to fight to stay alive while attempting to learn the truth about why she was the intended victim of an attempted murder.



Ok, pause here, the plot is quite clear and exciting, but you may wonder who Gina Carano is, and why I never hear about this name before? Neither do I, and that's not our faults, after all, we don't watch MMA quite often, yes, Gina Carano is not an actor, at least not the kind of actor we think, she is a MMA fighter, and her on-camera experience has been limited to crushing the competition on NBC's American Gladiators, if you want to know what she looks like when she fighting with real fighters, you can download the videos and learn how to convert m4v to mp4 then enjoy them on your portable devices anytime anywhere, so why she just suddenly appears in Steven Soderbergh's movie? That's because Steven Soderbergh, the genius found her in Comprehensive combat tour performance.

After the actress, let's talk about those actors, Ewan McGregor-the former boss, Channing Tatum-the ex-lover Aaron, Michael Fassbender- a partner meant to be trusted by Mallory and Bill Paxton-the father, so do you want to know how it is going with so many big shots in the same movie? You can convert the DVD to your iPad (if you have one) with free dvd to ipad mac, and we can see one thing from this case, which is Steven Soderbergh has some kind of magic power to make so many big shots listen to him.

Some people say Haywire is the another version of The Bourne Identity, just the protagonist is a woman named Mallory, not Bourne, but there are few people agree with this opinion, the extreme idea is this movie is much worse than The Bourne Identity, so those people who have this idea may really feel pity for the actors who only count as figurants in this movie. But no matter what, this spy thriller which is directed by Steven Soderbergh and acted by so many great actors, we have no reason to miss it.

3:26 AM - Whether the Involvement of Apple Has Reduced the eBooks Price or not

Just in earlier time, the DOJ accused Apple and a number of publishers of raising the price of e-books, but not everyone thinks that's the truth. According to the article from Wall Street, they think it's just because the efforts of Apple and publishers, the monopoly of Amazon has been broken.

Due to Apple's proxy mode, the competitive pressure from iPad and Barnes & Noble Nook has made the market share of Amazon fallen from 90% to 60% and price of eBooks also has more changes, which means consumers have more choice, ranging from $ 5.95 to $ 14.95, not just the Amazon standard-$ 9.99. The article also pointed out that Apple charges a 30% profit in games and other applications, , the same with the ratio of eBooks, newspapers and magazines, so it's hard to let people believe that Apple raised the price of eBooks. The competition between Apple Amazon is not anything strange, they all protect themselves with one hundred percent efforts, generally if you have purchased a book or a movie from any of them, you only can play it on other device with media drm removal, we all have been through this kind of thing.

Apple is so different from Amazon, because it offers the service for consumers to read eBooks only aims to attract more people to buy iPad, just like the apps to watch TV shows and read magazines and work. So not like Kindle, users can do many things on iPad, like watching DVD movies with best dvd creator review, Apple really counts on eBooks to make money? To honest, iPad is just a device to read eBooks, it has nothing to do with the price with eBooks, let me tell you this way, the games we play on iPad, is there anyone think the price is not reasonable? No? Now you know what I mean.

As long as you are an Apple user, you would know that Apple's platform is a multi-use platform, offering Internet browsing, word processing, music, apps, and other products, of which books probably accounted-and still account-for a relatively small percentage of revenue. We can download everything we want in iTunes, even sometimes we are bothered by DRM protection, which means we need mac drm removal software to break it, but Apple has many options for promoting adoption of its platform-not least, the "sex appeal" of Amazon's famously glam products, as to Amazon, it's not exaggerated to say that it competes largely on the basis of its content, and its devices sell only as long as the content is attractive and attractively priced.

Not just Wall Street thinks Apple has made a contribution to break eBooks' monopoly of Amazon, another article from Technology Liberation Front also says that Apple is fighting against the price standard of eBooks, but we can't be sure from its analysis that if the price really has been reduced, or Apple's "agency model" is really decided by the demands of consumers just like they said.

5:42 AM - Top 3 Free DVD to New iPad Converter for Mac

Many people are Apple users nowadays, some of them are very extreme, like they will buy every new Apple device, new Mac, new iPad, iPod and iPhone, even they already have a bunch of old devices. So my point is we have to admit that Apple devices are indeed very popular worldwide, any of us may have at least one iDevice, but do you really know how to make the most of your iPad like watching DVD movies on it?

For many Apple users who also are movies fans, I believe that you certainly know how to watch your favorite movies on iPad, at least it is the first trick I want to figure out when I have a new iPad, but not everyone knows how to put movies on ipad, especially newbie, so here are top 5 DVD to iPad converter that can help us rip DVD movies to iPad.

1. Handbrake. It is not a strange tool for all of us, even you don't have Apple devices, you still may heard it before, what can I say, for many people, it's a very useful gadget, more importantly, it's totally free. But I know that lots of people are not satisfied with this freeware, too many bugs, the quality is not good enough, the video resolution is a little low and so on, but generally, if you are not very picky and don't want to cost much money, handbrake is a good choice.



2. iSkysoft. This is a pretty famous brand in technology industry and it has lots of products, including dvd to ipad converter, which can convert DVD to iPad video and audio on your Mac directly. The default presets are the optimized settings for iPad with best video quality and sound effect, making the most of your iPad's big screen and HD feature. It is perfectly compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

But there is one thing you need to know first that iSkysoft products are not free, still they have free trail version though, but if you want to enjoy the completed functions, there is money you need to pay for. So you may wonder why not to choose the free tools like handbrake, just like I said freeware always has drawbacks, but paid ones, they need to be responsible.

3. Videora. I just think most people prefer to freeware not paid ones, so it's much wiser to introduce freeware. Just like Handbrake, Videora is a free app too, but I really don't know which one is better, if you want to choose one from these two, you'd better try them yourself, than can be used on both Mac and Windows. This freeware works similar as the Handbrake to convert all types of video files to playback on iPad/iPad 2 and the new iPad.

Among all these DVD rippers, you may want to try one or two. With a good dvd ripper for mac, it won't be a problem any more to enjoy DVD movies on iPad,

4:35 AM - Next Generation iPod Touch May Feature A5 or A5x Processor

So after all discusses about the new iPad and new Apple TV, Apple continues to reveal a little information to seize people's attention, so what it is this time? Ok, here is a hint, you haven't heard about the update or any information about iPod touch for a long time, right? Now according to the news, new generation iPod touch is on the way.

9 to 5 Mac said that Apple is working on a new iPod touch. If you already have an iPod touch, you need to know how to restore ipod without itunes, which is a very important protection for iPod touch. Of course, if you have more interests in the coming iPod touch, then you may don't need to care about much. The new iPod touch will come to us eventually, it just on one knows what it will be like, but there is one thing which can be sure, the processor. Obviously, Apple won't let iPod touch be the special one, we all now that the iPod touch is the only current-generation iOS product with a single core Apple A4 processor, all current iPhone and iPad models have faster dual-core A5 or A5x processor, so there is a big chance that Apple will update the processor in new iPod touch, which is just a common sense.

Some of us were really disappointed about the update of iPod touch in 2011, which was just the addition of a model with a white case. I mean every year Apple would release new iPod touch, but last year? That was really hurtful, why? Because it was the only iOS device not receive internal nor cosmetic changes last year.

If the guess about processor is true, the change of new iPod touch will not just add a new white model or anything facial. Until the end of the year, all iOS devices will run A5 or A5x processor, if this change won't appear, then Apple must lose its mind, you see, Apple is the kind of company that cares about consumers, at least that's what they said, so what consumers will say when they get a new iPod touch with A4 processor, while other people are all using A5 or A5x processor, Apple would not keep the promise like this.

So according to a file inside of an internal iOS 5.1 build, the fifth-generation iPod touch Apple is working on is labeled iPod 5.1 internally. We haven't heard any specifics regarding the new iPod touch hardware, but the jump from 4.1 (the current internal iPod touch label) to 5.1 indicates major internal changes, at the very least. After all, the iPod touch is one of the most popular gaming devices on the market, and Apple's dual-core iOS device processors offer top-of-the-line graphics performance.

When we are waiting for the further information, we may just make the most of the devices we have right now, learn how to extract files from ipod to computer and others tricks, maybe also we can guess what's name of the new iPod touch.
