Death of the synthesizer? [permalink]
One more reason for people to by the iPad, you can now use it as a virtual synthesizer:
"iElectribe offers up 64 pre-set patterns ranging in genre from House to Hardcore, which allow the user to get up and going without having to create anything from scratch. The application also has 32 templates in a similarly large range of genres; this gives a basic framework which, with a little work, can turn into some pretty elaborate beats. For those who want total control, iElectribe has 64 user banks that have nothing more than a single synth trigger on the downbeat of each measure. You can load or write to any of these files using the browser functionality located underneath the application's faux LCD."

The average person spends about 4.5 active minutes on Google.com each day, spread out over 22 page views. That is about 11 seconds of attention on each Google search, wrote Rescue Time founder Tony Wright."
