Thoughtful News and Information
I'm an independent internet strategist and blogger living in rural Vermont. I became an Apple and Google enthusiast about 5 years ago and originally thought that "Google" was the whole internet.
I am also a Rotary Exchange Student traveling abroad in Belgium for the 2010 - 2011 School Year.

I'm accepted into Belgium for A Year abroad!
Hey everybody,
Just a few minutes ago I was eating breakfast with the Rotary Club ofCambridge Vermont as they were announcing where I will be staying a
year abroad. I am pleased to announce that I got my first choice of Belgium! This
means that next year, my junior year, I will be spending the entire
school year (and Christmas) in some part of Belgium. There is a video attached that shows my location getting announced. It's very exiting! Wish me luck, -Oliver

Helping the iPad to Run your Desktop Computer OS - Remote Access to Windows and Mac with Fullscreen Remote Connectivity
Will riding in the car today, I had an epithany. Before I tell you what this realization was, I'll give you some background.
When Steve Jobs blessed the world with his latest creation, the iPad, there were complaints that the new device didn't run a full version of Mac OSX Snow Leopard. Instead, the iPad ran an upgraded version of iPhone OS. Although iPhone OS is Mac OSX at the core, people were complaining that the functionality of iPad OS is not what it should be.
Fortunately there is a way to run Mac OSX Snow Leopard OR a Windows Operation system! It is quite simple actually, an iPhone app like LogMeIn Ignition can be used to share the screen of the computer on the screen of the iPad. Because of the large screen, the user can run their home computer full screen and use it like a touch version of OSX or Windows 7. The iPhone apps will run 2x so this fullscreen deffinately possible.
Since things like touch and hold are not implemented in most remote access apps, developers should make their apps for iPad and have touch and hold and several other additions like two finger tap for right click.
So who said the iPad didn't have functionality? It can run Windows 7 AND Mac OSX.

Saab Dead? Nah. That Was A Rumor - Introducing the 2010 Saab 9-3X
A friend of mine recently told me that the Saab line was dead. GM had cut the stuff much like Pontiac. Apparently, he was incorrect (thank goodness). Saab is not dead. In-fact, Saab has been bought by the Dutch super car company Spyker. If there is any company to take Saab over, its Spyker. Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the Spyker C8 Aileron recently and thought it was brilliant. Hopefully, Saab can be pulled back into life by this brilliant company.

The 2010 Subaru Impreza - The Impreza XV
The latest Subaru upgrade has been to the Impreza. This "new" car has a Boxer Diesel engine that is turbocharged rather than the normal 2.0 liter engine that exists in most of Subaru's earlier models. The XV does have other engine types available like a 2.0 liter boxer gas engine which is not turbo charged.
If you aren't a fan of it's looks (I most certainly am not) then hold your breath because this car won't be coming to the states. European's will be the only ones with this new Impreza. Subaru seems to be interested in making their cars bigger and more strange. Not really a good move in the constantly changing car world.
