02 Buying a Car Online? Read This First
FYou can buy almost anything over the Internet --
including clothes, a pizza, music, a hotel room, even a car.
And while most transactions are conducted lawfully and
securely, there are instances when criminals insert
themselves into the marketplace, hoping to trick potential
victims into falling for one of their scams.

03 An iPad for Everyone
"For the first time since kindergarten, I will have to
learn how to go to class again." That is what Freed-Hardeman
University prospective student Katie Scott said when she was
told about iKnow 2.0. Beginning in the fall of 2012, iKnow
2.0 will provide an iPad to every student who enrolls as a
freshman at Freed-Hardeman University as well as every
faculty member at the institution.

----------------------------------------------
06 Prepare for Back To School
What's on top of the school supply list this year? It is
not a lunchbox or a backpack but rather a smartphone, a
tablet or a cool fun educational app that runs on both. Kids
as young as elementary age are looking for smartphone
upgrades, while the college students are living the advent
of tablets into their classrooms. Developed universally for
the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, NxtApp 4 Kids is the
perfect back-to-school math app with which kids learn number
sequencing, thinking they are playing a game.

On iPadForums, "Bremen" posted: "Free ebook sites,
already in iBook (ePub) format. I have posted a few of these
in various places, but thought I would tie it together here.

12 When the going gets tough
Will you be juggling inventory in the warehouse,
re-routing a tractor-trailer already on the move, or
relaying instructions to emergency workers approaching the
scene of an accident? Do you need to connect the office,
foreman, or dispatcher directly to the forklift operator,
dump truck driver, or police interceptor no matter how tough
the conditions. Do you need to manage data, people,
equipment, and logistics with maximum efficiency. Do you
need a laptop or tablet that just won't die, won't break,
won't freeze, won't sink?

13 Quotes: Einstein; Huxley; Hill and Blake
"The secret to creativity is knowing
how to hide your sources."
- Albert Einstein
"There's only one corner of the universe
you can be certain of improving, and
that's your own self."
- Aldous Huxley
"Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts.
If you don't control what you think,
you can't control what you do.
Simply, self-discipline enables you to
think first and act afterward."
- Napolean Hill

- William Blake
