 Apple CEO Steve Jobs sent the Internet into a tizzy yesterday with the introduction of the company’s latest product, the iPad.
Another must-have gadget, its size and practicality fall somewhere between those of an iPhone and a Mac computer. The iPad can play games, execute iPhone applications, serve as a replacement for your Kindle and surf the Web. Some gripes about the device include its inability to play certain types of video and how similar it seems to what fans likely already own: an iPhone.
The slim device measures about the size of two of Apples iPhones, but it does not come with a stand so that users can prop up the Kindle while catching up on their reading. Its starting price tag is $499 for a 16GB model, though 32GB and 64GB variations are also available.
The cool new toy hasn’t quite yet become the savior that print publications expected, the hot new system that gamers wanted or the innovative product that Apple aficionados have come to brag about. All that could change once the iPad’s start hitting the shelves in March.
Beyond what seems like an underwhelming product is name. Sure, it may regress us junior high to snicker at the iPad, but we’re not the only ones who think or thought immediately of feminine products. iSlate or iTablet weren’t cool enough?
Tweeters and Facebookers have vocalized their disapproval of the name, and now Predicto Ponders: will Apple re-brand the product by 3/25? 63% of voting members say no!

 Did Jennifer Aniston break up Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? She sure did — that is, if any of the celebrity weeklies are to be believed.
Brangelina has been caught up in a rumor for the past week about the status of their hotter-than-hot relationship. The couple — who isn’t married — has been together for close to five years. Their happy home includes three adopted children and three biological. How could they even consider splitting up what seems like such a happy home?
Well, there are those rumors about Brad and Jen rekindling the romance that Angelina reportedly came between. Then there have been other cheating rumors involving Jolie and a dialect coach from her forthcoming movie, Salt.
But gossip such as this has always been a part of one of this sexy couple’s everyday itinerary. Why is everyone taking these rumors so seriously now? Are the tabloids right on? Are the rumors correct? And, most importantly, will they attend the Oscars to battle these things that people are saying?
The Predicto Mobile community had its say and voting members said by an overwhelming margin (86%) that the pair will appear at the star-studded red carpet and ceremony.
“Yes, they will show up together because they still want to be with each other,” says member “QueenofMJ.”
“I think they will so everyone will stop saying stuff about them,” says “zqsa3338.”
“They are so not breaking up! Two sexy people argue, but never leave each other,” says “tyok2128.”

 Brad and Angelina: splitsville!
At least that’s what everyone was thinking when news broke over the weekend that Hollywood’s most glamorous supercouple had allegedly signed legal papers divvying up their estate and custody of their six kids. Their reps were quick to issue denials, but the rumors still persist.
It doesn’t help that they haven’t looked so glamorous lately, especially Brad with his billy goat beard (see the pic at left). There’s also the fact that the duo have not attended any award shows this season, even though Brad’s Inglourious Basterds has received many nominations, including kudos for Best Ensemble Cast from the SAG Awards.
Plus, the tabloids have been reporting that Angelina was having an affair with dialect coach for her upcoming movie, Salt. As StyleCaster notes, at least this gossip story has been debunked:
The supposed affair was rumored to have been between Jolie and her dialect coach, Howard Samuelsohn and was said to have happened while filming her new movie, Salt, due to hit theaters July 23, 2010. Samuelsohn stated today: “I’m 5’6″, I’m 51 years old, and I’ve never been to The Waldorf [Astoria Hotel in New York, where the alleged affair occurred]…I would like for someone to get the word out. [The story] is total bulls***.”
The fashion-forward site goes on to say, “If we think back on Jolie’s past conquests, a solid case could be made for the affair, BUT, we’re pretty sure she’s gotten past that man-eating stage (or at least we hope).”
StyleCaster has helpfully published a photo gallery of Angelina’s past loves, a list that can also be viewed as potential rebound relationships for the female half of Brangelina should the two call it quits. (Although, we can’t imagine Angie reuniting with Val Kilmer. Yes, that Val Kilmer).
With all the drama and gossip surrounding the couple, it’s no wonder that 51% of the Predicto Mobile community voted that Brad and Angelina will confirm they have split by 4/10.

 Music royalty has a name. It is Prince and he is funky!
The Minneapolis native has been soaring up the charts since the 1970s with such recognizable hits as “1999,” “Little Red Corvette” and “When Doves Cry.” As a talented musician, he’s inspired a generation of artists with his sometimes raunchy but always funky melodies.
Will lightning strike now that it’s 2010? His Purpleness recently recorded a song called “Purple and Gold,” an unofficial fight song for his hometown Minnesota Vikings. The football team is set to take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday for the title of NFC Champion. Whoever wins this matchup goes on to the Super Bowl.
The song — which sounds a little more like a prep school fight song than one made for gridiron gladiators — has been making the rounds on the Internet. His Majesty was also seen at last week’s game, where the Vikings knocked the Cowboys out of contention.
The coincidence between Prince’s color of choice and that of the Vikings is uncanny, but will his choice of lyrics rally the Vikings to adopt his composition as the team’s official fight song? 59% of voting Predicto Mobile members say yes!

Apple CEO Steve Jobs sent the Internet into a tizzy yesterday with the introduction of the company’s latest product, the iPad.
Its only natural that when a guy wins a Super Bowl ring, he gives his girlfriend an engagement ring, right?
When Conan O’Brien announced that
