iPad 2

I really am enjoying the new iPad 2.  A huge plus is being able to take photos with the iPad.  The new iPad is thinner and the cases for the first generation do not fit it well.  The only other drawback I have found it that without a cover it comes on automatically and therefore I have to charge it more often than I did my previous iPad.  Transferring my information from one iPad to another was easy but I am very familiar with iTunes which helps.  I did have to add my wireless key codes and add my email password in order for  those operations to work again.   I would like a iPad compatible printer next...just in case Santa is reading my blog....

For All My Facebook Friends....

I am all about cybersafety and digital citizenship.  If you use Facebook, then you should pay a visit to your security settings.  Here are some items to consider:
Go to your "Account"
then "Privacy Settings"
You will see  "Apps  and Websites" in the bottom left corner
Choose to "Edit Your Settings"
I would look at each of the setting listed.  If you edit the "Apps You Use" section, you can click on the box beside any application listed.  You will want to do this for any questionable or spammy apps.
I would also take a look at the Public Search setting at the bottom.  I chose to edit these setting by unchecking the public search box.

Also under "Account", I edit my friends and create lists.  All of my friends are assigned a list.  Each list has different privacy settings.  With these lists I can limit what information the people that I don't  know very well can see, while allowing my closest friends full access to my Facebook pages.  Lastly, all of my settings are set to "friends only" instead of including "Friends of Friends".

Happy FB!
