Hi, I like sci-fi movie very much, especially the Star Wars. I have watched all the three Star Wars movies ever since they're in theatre. And now, I have got a Blu-ray player and an iPad 2 to watch my favorite sci-fi movies. Can you tell me the release date of Star Wars Blu-ray discs? And if possible, can you tell me what software should I use to rip Star Wars Blu-ray discs to iPad 2, as I travel a lot, which makes it impossible to watch these Blu-ray discs on Blu-ray players? Thank you in advance.
Jimmy, by email.

A few days ago, I visited a friend and when I arrived, he was watching the Love and Other Drugs DVD on his iPad. I had also heard about this movie a long time but never had the chance to watch it. So I joint with him and we spent two hours in watching this affectional drama Love and Other Drugs. And as soon as it ended, I asked my friend on why Jamie finallly wants to be with Maggie, because of love, or just a sense of responsibility, or even just for sympathy?
If he is really back for love, so why did he leave Maggie in the snow when Maggie insisted on Jamie leaving for Maggie's strong self-esteem, as she does not want to get Jamie in trouble to take care of her. However, Jamie just put all his luggage into the trunk, left words "That's really stupid" and then went away.
I truly believe that no matter how much the love is, when facing with the grave responsibility to take care of him/her life long, anybody would become to hover. That is why Jamie was desperate to visit every famous doctor he knows. Maggie has revealed the truth by directly saying: your intense longing to cure me is just because you can't accept the truth to take care of me for a life. What kind of courage has made a lady to sharply point out the reality?
So they just broke up. And Jamie makes big success in his business and wins enormous favors from various beautiful ladies. But Jamie still feels that he lacks something in his life, a woman to share his success with him. So at last when flying to Chicago, he finally realized what he wanted and went back to Maggie. I was just surprised by the changes of Jamie and thought it might be too sudden. And so I wondered why Jamie could return to find Maggie after so long a time, really because of love, responsibility or just sympathy?
My friend said that love itself is in fact not simply love, but mixed with responsibility and sympathy. But these things could not change the nature of love. I guess so.
Due to some reasons, I haven't even watched the complete movie of Hereafter since it's in theatre. Yesterday, one of my friends gifted me the newly released Hereafter DVD disc to fulfill my expectation of this movie, so I have got something to say in this review.
As I was going to New York on business so I ripped Hereafter DVD to iPhone with a professional DVD to iPhone converter and then I finally had the chance to fully watch this movie on my way train.
What to start for the review? Actually, my head became blank after I finished the 126 minutes watching. The only thing in my head is about what happens when you die, the question inputted to Google search by Marcus, a 12-year-old London twin boy who has lost his brother, who he idolizes and says "Good night" to every night. There are many different answers to this question on Google. But in this movie, it provides some material explanation with no scientific sense.
In Paris, the French television journalist Marie Lelay starts to write a book "Hereafter: A Conspiracy of Silence" after her near-death experience in which she sees a vision of human figures inhabiting a realm of light, among them the silhouettes of the mother and daughter holding hands. In San Francisco, former professional psychic George Lonegan would abandon his old wealthy career and look forward an average life, rather than becoming a genuine medium with a gift for communicating with the dead. He repeats saying "It's not a gift, it's a curse." But the most impressive figure to me in this movie is the little twin boy, Marcus, a clean and lovely boy with limpid eyes. Even though they have an alcoholic and heroin-addicted mother, and have to struggle for living in a despairing circumstance, the angel twins still fell happy and Marcus would always say "Good night" sweetly to his idolized brother. However, the cruel reality envies such simple happiness of the twins; Jasson is hit by a van and killed. And from that day on, the younger Marcus wears his brother's cap, becomes desperate to retrieve his brother and still says "Good night Jasson" to his non-existed brother before sleeping, like nothing has been changed. When Marcus finally talked to his brother with the help of George "don’t go Jason, please, I need you." I can't control my tears any more. What kind of love would be contained in such calling from this little boy?
At last, little Marcus takes off his brother's cap, though still hold it tightly. And George and Marine also get a desired ending in this movie.
If you ask people whether they believe there is an afterlife world, they may be not sure about this. But most people would be sure that their loved ones would not leave them even after death, as they are in the memory of people alive. Maybe that is what this film tries to reveal.
Note: If your computer adopting Mac OS and you want to watch this DVD movie on your iPhone, you can use DVD to iPhone converter for Mac to convert DVD to iPhone on Mac before you can watch Hereafter DVD to iPhone.

Hi, guys. It seems that I'm always providing some solutions and assistance for people to solve their problems in daily life. Now, I have got a tough one, which would need your help. As you all know, the Women's Day is just arriving, but I still could not decide which gift to give to my dear lady. So, could you guys give me some suggestions?
Currently I have several optional gifts on hand, and I need your advices to decide which one to be gifted. The first optional gift is about creating a DVD movie for her as we have just made a very happy travel and captured so many happy and interesting pictures and some lively video clips. I'm thinking about creating a DVD movie disc with my DVD creator. And very lucky for me, I just got to know how to create picture videos from an online course (http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/demo/). Making a DVD movie disc is my first choice, but she had been long longed for a digital camera, so there is the option 2: buying her a digital camera. However, I have planned this for her birthday party. I just didn't which one to gift for her and need suggestions from all you guys.
As a way to thank you for your good suggestions, I would like to share some humors with all you guys about women, marriage and others.
1. Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without... but whatever you do, you'll regret it later.
2. You can't buy love, but you pay heavily for it.
3. Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.
4. They said we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash.
5. My girlfriend and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.
6. Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.
7. They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.
8. Saving is the best thing, especially when your parents have done it for you.
9. Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.
10. Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.
When you are to make a long journey alone for school, tourism, business matters, or far place your loved ones stay, what would you do to kill the long boring time on train, airplane or coach?

And Lee, one of my best friends, who travels a lot, prefers to watch movies with his notebook. But unfortunately, yesterday when he was on train towards California he has to kill his boring long journey by playing cards with others, which he hated most. Why? "Yesterday I forgot to bring DVD discs and the journey is really hateful. Do you know what the best software to use for I am trying to rip my DVDs to AVIs or WMV's so I can have them on my laptop all the time, instead of having to bring my DVDs with me on the journey?"
It is quite possible that a lot of people would have the same question. Have you got any suggestions for my friend, or do you know any good DVD tools to easily rip DVDs to common video files with good output quality

Well, here I would like to recommend the best DVD tool for you to rip all kinds of DVD discs to popular video formats so as to playback DVDs on your portable devices – DVD Ripper, a professional DVD converter for you to rip, backup, edit and convert DVD to video in variety of formats.

For long waiting, the Apple iPad 2 was finally introduced in details on its March 2 launch in Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who made surprise appearance on the iPad 2 launch to introduce this much-anticipated gadget, had provided specifications about the Apple iPad 2.
Maybe for most people, the big news from Silicon Valley should be Steve Jobs' appearance on the iPad 2 debut, instead of a result for all anticipations towards iPad 2. "Jobs took the stage to a standing ovation, and shares of Apple, which had been flat, climbed as much as 1.4 percent," a report from Reuters. "He looks thin -- but not more so than he did at September's press event -- but upbeat." The appearance of this legendary leader who leads Apple to such top-notch in electronics had made a big surprise and excited all Apple fans. "Didn't want to miss today", Jobs said when strolling onto stage.
Anyway, the presence of Steve Jobs was to add stimulant to the iPad 2 launch. And let's just take a look what Steve Jobs had brought to Apple fans on the launch. Here I have collected the big staff of the new iPad 2 gadget. Check these specifications to see what anticipations about the Apple iPad 2 have been realized:
1GHz dual-core A5 CPU
RAM currently unknown, presumably 512MB
16GB, 32GB, 64GB storage options
Front & Rear Cameras, front is VGA, rear is 720p
9.7" LED display with 1024×768 screen resolution at 132ppi
GPU said to be 9X faster
Video output supports up to 1080p
Runs iOS 4.3
10 hour battery life
White & Black color options
3G models are AT&T and Verizon compatible
1.3 lbs
Thinner
Most of the features are just as people anticipated before. But rarely would people guess the "video output supports up to 1080p", which has successfully made it a surprise by Apple. And for the price and shipment availability, Steve Jobs also mentioned in the launch. The price would still start from $499 while white iPad 2 would be available on March 11 in America and "in at least 26 more countries on March 25".
Well, it seems now we only need to wait for days to get the newly iPad 2. Believe that the Apple iPad 2 would make a better performance than anticipated.
Today, March 2nd, will be absolutely a worthy exciting celebration day for Apple iPad fans, as the long long awaited Apple iPad 2 would finally be released in Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco.
So many rumors in the past days had been pushed on the release date and the new functions of this new gadget. People around the world all show their anticipations towards the new coming features and performance from Apple iPad 2. And after numerous delays on production or other reasons, the Apple iPad 2 was confirmed to be released today in San Francisco.
As the Apple iPad 2 has not been released officially, the specifications about this new popular gadget are still in guess. But so far, some features of Apple iPad 2 could be confirmed on the latest leaked news and pictures about iPad 2.
The main feature in the near upcoming iPad 2 that catches consumers' attention is the front and rear camera with a display for FaceTime. The rear camera will be able to take both high definition videos and photos. It will include a larger processor and hard drive, with a nifty feature with the ability to print wirelessly. And other supposed new features would include Multi-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, Dual-core SGX543 GPU, high definition 2048 x 1536 display at 260 dpi, GSM/CDMA chipset, SD card slot, larger memory space, etc.
There are also concerns about the shipment of the Apple iPad 2 since its launch today. Reports have indicated that hang-ups in the device’s production could cause some delay in the actual release of the new iPad. But Apple Insider sources say the tablet may arrive much faster than anyone expected. Some even rumors the Apple iPad 2 would be available immediately since the launch of March 2.
Besides the gadget, Apple fans also concern that whether Apple CEO Steve Jobs would be able to be there in San Francisco for the iPad 2 release. Steve Jobs, who is in medical leave for battling cancer, has been seen around Cupertino in recent weeks and had dinner with President Barack Obama last month. But, his appearance is still not confirmed. For Apple fans, it might be a pity if Steve Jobs is absent from this long anticipated launch of the Apple iPad 2.
Whatever, these are all something we expect or concern about. Let's just wait for good news from Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco.
