If you really love your iPad you can get it its own easy chair. Or at least the US$34.95 iPad Recliner from LapWorks (http://www.laptopdesk.net).
Okay, so the stand isn’t meant for the luxury of the tablet device. It’s for letting you view the iPad hands-free. The iPad Recliner adjusts to a variety of settings for watching videos, reading or viewing photos. You can adjust the angle via the turn of a knob.

Pixelmator (USS$59) from the Pixelmator Team (http://www.pixelmator.com) has a practical feature set for creating, editing, and enhancing images. Originally released in 2007, version 1.5 for Mac is only compatible with Leopard and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later), taking advantage of Apple’s OS X Core Image technology. And it’s fast: booting in two seconds and processing and applying one of 50 effects filters to large files in approximately three seconds.
