iPad And How You Can Get On For Free
Apple enthusiasts and technology geeks like myself have been waiting for January 2010’s Apple Computer’s CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote speech. During his presentation, it was rumored that he will finally reveal the release of the much anticipated first Apple’s tablet computing device. Somehow we have been calling it, “iSlate.”
Now we know it is officially called “iPad.”
My first impression: “It is a huge iPod Touch!” (with a big, big exclamation mark.)
Then, Steve Jobs convinced me by discussing the iPad’s features and its capabilities. The display area is definitely larger in comparison to the iPhone/iPod Touchs. It is actually more than twice, measuring 9.7 inch with 1,024 x 768 resolutions. Also it is really bright. The display uses the technology called IPS (in-plane-switching) LCD which provides wide viewing angles and quick response times.
The iPad supports multi-touch just like iPhone/iPod Touch. (of course!) If you already have an iPhone and/or iPod Touch, you would already know how to use 90% of the iPad features. In addition, iPad can run most of Apps that you already own for your iPhone/iPod touch plus many others. You do not have to re-purchase them again through the iTunes store which means it would save you hundreds of dollars if not more. You just “sync” your iPad with your iTunes. It’s just that simple.
iPad is not just bigger than iPhone/iPod Touch. It runs very fast because it uses the new A4 CPU (“A” presumably for Apple.) Do you remember the speed difference between the iPhone 3G and the newer iPhone 3Gs? Didn’t you feel really good? Then you are going to feel it even better this time and you are going to love it. I guarantee it.
The larger display has the almost full size software keyboard feature so you can use this device like a laptop computer. (I hope you are not going type with your thumbs like you do on iPhone/iPod Touch.) Apple is going to release their business application suites such as iWork which includes Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc. very soon.
“Sounds like an another expensive gadget from Apple. How much is iPad?”
We both agree that Apple is very famous for having expensive gadgets. It was rumored that it would be starting at just under $1,000 because of the recent successes with price reduction of the iPhones and iPods sales. Nope, it is Not. Think again. It comes in lower than that. The base model starts at $499 with 32Giga bytes of storage and wifi. (Cheaper than the original iPhone!)
Now the best news, there are several ways to get the iPad for $0.00 (yes, its FREE.)
“How?”
Currently there are several programs, contests and surveys are being offered in exchange with a free iPad. These are offered by third party sponsors and companies. You just need to follow their instructions to be eligible for a free iPad. To get started, go to http://www.GetFreeIPad.us

Interest Rates And How It Effects Us
Interest rates are a very important financial measure for the global financial system. Financial markets and businesses are dependent on interest rates and how they effect the economic market. High interest rates increase the cost of doing business and force many businesses that are highly leveraged into bankruptcy. Low interest rates help the economy as well as the business grow. One of the ways to profit from the increase or decrease in interest rates is by trading interest rate futures. Most popular are the Eurodollars and and the Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds.
As a futures trader, US Treasury Bonds Futures should be very important to you. But, in this decade the European Bond Market and the bond markets in China and Dubai are going to play increasingly significant roles. So the bond market is at the center of the financial world. At the center of the bond market is the US Federal Reserve (FED) and the way it raises and lowers the interest rates.
So, as a trader and as an investor, you need to understand how the bond market, the rest of the financial market, the FED and the interest rate changes work out. The understanding of this can help you in your trading and investing endeavors.
FED has got two policy instruments at its disposal. The first policy instrument at its disposal is the FED Fund Rate. This is the overnight lending rate that the banks charge one another for meeting their stipulated reserve requirements. FED sets the Fund Rate. The other policy instrument is the Discount Rate at which FED lends money to insolvent banks.
Suppose FED senses the inflationary pressure in the economy developing. It will increase the FED Fund Rate. With this increase the banks and the credit card companies. increase the prime rate the rate that they charge their best customers. When bond trader sense inflation increasing they start selling bonds. This increases the market interest rate. Mortgages and car loans are tied with the bond benchmark rates, so these rates also increase. This is how the increase by FED triggers a chain reaction that slowly works it way through the economy.
So, if you want to profit from the changes in the interest rates, you can trade FED Fund Rate Futures that get traded on CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). These futures contracts are a pure bet on the FED decision making at FOMC. You can also trade LIBOR Futures. LIBOR means that London Interbank Offer Rate. This is the rate that commercial banks charge each other and is widely used all over the world as a benchmark. Another popular contract is the Eurodollars and the EURYEN deposits.
