By: Julian RossAfter existing exclusively in the rumor mill, Apple Inc. announced its heavily anticipated tablet device this afternoon. The internet had been on fire about this secret device for the past few weeks, as enthusiasts tried to guess everything from the size of the device to its name. iTablet, Apple Tablet and iSlate were all given as possible names of the new gadget, based on

As you know, I am a student at Hampton University, and any HU student cant tell you, there is a laundry list of things wrong with the policies and administration. Everyone knows about, and usually has first has first hand experience with, the "Hampton Runaround", I've had classes wholly canceled due to deteriorating buildings, and there is a broken window in the Freshman Honors dorm that has been

Edit- Added link to a counter-point---(WARNING------This is not a short quick post)Everyday, the city of New Orleans and its residents struggle to rebuild. Rebuild their city, their lives, and their homes, but lets be honest. New Orleans wasn't a shining beacon of prosperity and productivity even in pre-Katrina times. One of the poorest metropolitan areas, leading the nation in violent crimes (in

I had been kinda debating for a while as to how exactly to say this without sounding like a kangaroo jack, and initially just wrote it off. But the topic keeps jumping back in my brain. Coming through life, we have all heard more than our fair share of motivational (or otherwise) phrases and sayings. Most have good intentions and good messages, but every know and again, I run across someone

In response to Adrianne Curry's boycott of BET and Black History Month:ReadShe makes a valid point, but unfortunately America is not yet at that stage in collective thinking. It is very difficult to truly teach and preach equality when we find so many different categories by which to segregate ourselves. I'm not gonna get into naming these things but people are historically elitist to a certain

I'm tired and its late. For those that have been on the receiving end of some of lunar rants, you should already know that the night brings out my analytical side. Well on this evening / morning I've turned my all seeing eye towards Chris Rock's latest film effort, I Think I Love My Wife. For those who haven't seen the movie, Rock stars as a middle-aged investment banker Richard Cooper, that is

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and

Thankfully, I am not the only person with the sentiment that the Stop Snitching movement is crap. In a recent SOHH conducted survey, 86% of respondents said that unlike the Pink Panther himself, would in fact tell the police if the serial killer was in "4E". That to me is a positive sign that fellow hip-hop fans are also tired of violence and crime ruling our neighborhoods.SOHH Survey

Anderson cooper did a story on the movement and how in urban area's police are having a hard time getting cooperation when tryin to solve crimes, but not just from witnesses (because poorer people or people living in less wealthy areas tend to not like police anyway.) Victims are also not cooperating and they think its partially because of the commercialization of stop snitchin. In the

On April 18, 2007 I will turn 20 years old. Looking back through the years and recognizing how while I have lived a lot of life and learned a lot of things, its still only the beginning. I am definitely at a checkpoint in life where you up the difficulty. Switching from rookie to pro if you will. For instance, previously you were "the kids". Now there is a generation below you. Before if one of
