For the announcement, lick here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n + Apple Completes iLife for iOS With introduction of iPhoto for the iPad\u00a0 and Major Updates to iMovie and GarageBand.\u00a0 You can now edit photos on your iPad. Click here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n + Apple Brings 1080p High Definition to New Apple TV. Keeps price the same at $99. Click here. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n All this is not good for Hewlett-Packard or Dell, <\/strong>but\u00a0 could be really good for IBM, Oracle and Salesforce. They’ll sell the corporate apps to run on the iPad. <\/strong><\/p>\n AGNC does new offering. <\/strong><\/span>They’re selling 62 million shares at slightly below the latest price of $30.25. AGNC’s price will, as a result, fall. Making this offering is a positive sign. It means management thinks there remain good opportunities in the mortgage REIT business it operates in. My temptation is to watch the stock and buy some more on a decent drop — if there is one. Spring break in Mexico.<\/strong><\/span> It’s dangerous down there. Really dangerous. If your kids must travel to Mexico, here are just-released General Safety Tips from Stratfor:<\/p>\n + Do not drive at night. This is my latest best backpack. <\/strong><\/span>It’s called the North Face Surge.<\/p>\n It’s handsome. Its has many large compartments, including a separate padded one for a laptop. It has\u00a0 many zippered compartments of various sizes.\u00a0 I’m using it for business,\u00a0 for travel and for tennis. It will happily hold two tennis racquets and two cans of balls, or one can and a bottle of water. The thing holds an amazing amount of stuff. I especially like the fact that it has a sternum strap and a waist strap. They make the bag very comfortable to carry. You could happily use it for day hiking.<\/p>\n You can buy it in black for $87.99 (click here<\/strong><\/a>) or at\u00a0 Zappos in my favorite zinc-grey (as shown above) for $115.

Despite years of urging and oversight by American advisers, President Hamid Karzai’s government has yet to prosecute a high-level corruption case in Afghanistan. To read today’s New York Times article, click here. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Meantime in today’s Wall Street Journal, “KABUL-The U.S. is investigating allegations that some officials in the Afghan Air Force, which was established largely with American funds, have been using aircraft to ferry narcotics and illegal weapons around the country.”\u00a0 Click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Makes you wonder what fools we’ve been played for. Karzai is an impressive thief.<\/p>\n Favorite recent New Yorker cartoons.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n My partner and dear friend Gerry Friesen sent me this photo. He said it made him laugh. Me too.<\/p>\n Harry Newton who revels in the smell of orange blossom presently exploding in California’s Coachella Valley. What a gorgeous place — for a few months of the year, before it climbs over 100.<\/p>\n Wall Street is a product machine. It creates what it can sell you. It has NO interest in the future of what it sold you.<\/strong> <\/em>That was the title of yesterday’s column.\u00a0 Some readers liked it. Some hated it. The comments are\u00a0 really worth reading. Click here.<\/strong><\/a> A new clearer, brighter screen. A new faster processor. And new communications — WiFi + 4G\/LTE. And that may be the clincher to move the iPad squarely into the corporate market. Skip buying a new laptop, anyone working for a corporation will now want the lighter, classier iPad, the device with ten hours of battery […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12057\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\n+ Use only pre-arranged transportation between the airport and the resort or hotel.
\n+ If at a resort, plan on staying there; refrain from going into town, particularly at night.
\n+ If you do go into town (or anywhere off the resort property), do not accept a ride from unknown persons, do not go into suspicious-looking or run-down bars, do not wander away from brightly lit public places and do not wander on the beach at night.
\n+ Stop at all roadblocks.
\n+ Do not bring anything with you that you are not willing to have taken from you.
\n+ If confronted by an armed individual who demands the possessions on your person, give them up.
\n+ Do not bring ATM cards linked to your bank account. (Among other things, an ATM card can facilitate an express kidnapping.)
\n+ Do not get irresponsibly intoxicated.
\n+ Do not accept a drink from a stranger.
\n+ Do not make yourself a tempting target by wearing expensive clothing or jewelry.
\n+ Do not venture out alone. But being part of a group does not guarantee safety.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
