The Green Latern

I finally got around to watching The Green Lantern yesterday.

It wasn't a bad movie but if you're looking for action, you won't get much of it from this movie.  This movie focuses on how the first human ever became a green lantern.  They did a good job on the story though. 

After watching it though, if you don't know much about the green lantern, then this movie seems to be the last you'll see of him on the big screen.  They need to take that yellow ring that was made and make another movie involved with that so it can flow back into this first story since the yellow ring was made in this movie.  Watching him train to become a better green lantern wouldn't work to well for a movie but a quick glimpse of some training would probably help the crowd understand how he got to the point he is.  That and I don't think earth is the only planet in his district to watch over, so he should go to another planet to protect another species as well.

I wonder what the chances are they will make another movie with The Green Lantern is.  The action will have to be bumped up and show more stuff with the ring as he should be skilled in the 2nd move for sure.  Here's hoping they don't completely abandon this hero.

iPad 3

Well, I officially own an iPad 3 now.  It'll be my wife's but I do have one so I can see how much difference there really is besides just reading on it.

The best part is I got it for $150 but that's on top of the iPad 2 that was messing up.

My wife's iPad 2 hasn't worked quite right since we've gotten it.  It has major issues on connecting to a network and then keeping the connection.  Sometimes it just wouldn't connect at all.  Didn't have if we turned it off, hard reset it, or whatever else we found to do online.  It strictly had a network hardware issue.

With in the past couple weeks, the button wouldn't actually work either.  It just wouldn't take a click and being stuck in an app with no way out of it is no good.

So took it to Best Buy yesterday as we have the warrenty on it.  Talked to them and they can't send it off to repair because the iPad 2 32 gig model isn't made any more.  So it's a scrap and you have to get a new one.  Here is the better part, since it's actually a manufacture issue and not any issue caused by us, we got to keep the warrenty without having to pay for it again.  That made my day. 

Of course since we bought the iPad 2 back in Feb, they already took off some of that deduction for the time frame of it not being new anymore.  So that added another $20 onto my bill.  I can't really complain though, with only having to pay the $100 to get the newer version of the iPad, I got to keep my warrenty, plus the warrenty does start over being a new product, and having to pay for the oldness or whatever they call it for the depreciation value of the product.  I can't complain paying $150 and walking out with a brand new iPad 3.

I got everything setup on it for my wife yesterday, so all is back to normal for her.

KeyPoint's Adaptation Keyboard

Now why haven't I seen something like this on the iPad?   Oh wait,  you can't, can you.

KeyPoint's Adaptxt keyboard enters beta for Android tablets, adds handwriting for that extra touch

Smart Screen On

This is going to come in handy.   As much as my phone is always setting on a desk being able to swipe my hand over it to turn it on will save me from trying to pick up or fumble to push the button in to see that notification that I just missed.

I will definitely have to see how good this is as the Dolphin browser they mention is a fast browser.

The Fancy Pants Adventures

I haven't played this game in awhile. Last time was probably close to my last achievement on 7/11/11. I left off with one achievement left in the game. The time trial runs. So I started earlier this week on it and I finished them all off tonight. Another completed arcade game for the week. I'm hoping for one more but I don't see it happening unless by chance. Since I haven't posted on this game I'll add a bit more info on it. I originally bought this game because it looked liked a huge upgrade compared to N+ which I don't think I'll ever be able to finish that game. Anyway Fancy Pants is a fun game to game. It has to be if my kids enjoy playing it. Being able to characters look helps add more fun into the game for them. Their is a collection aspect and finding everything can be hard but there are plenty videos online to help you find everything if you can't or find them all just running around the board having fun trying to figure it out. I guess I should add your guy is a stick figure jumping off walls to get around everywhere in the boards you play. That looks like enough info for anyone. 8)
