Google gave its search page a new look. Many Googlers are skeptical about the left sidebar. It looks very similar to bing and yahoo search pages.
I like the search results going all the way to the left for easy scanning. It’s sort of sad to see the familiar Google search page go.
I like the new logo without the shadow though.

The iPad is now for sale. Although the product got mixed reviews over 100,000 people were rumored to pre-order the device. I think Apple has potential to make bushels of money from the iPad. Yes, it may not have a camera, flash, usb, etc, but if they sold this well on the 1st generation think of what they could sell on a souped up 2nd generation iPad.
I personally would find no use for an iPad as I have a laptop and iPod nano. I am interested in tablet computers though, and would love to hear why you got (or didn’t) get one. Leave a comment below.
