The things they say: Maradona “Scorpio is intense. It has an emotional energy that is unique in the Zodiac. If you use it constructively, it can help you become a great leader. It doesn’t bite its tongue and it can be very critical.” Diego Maradona’s description of the star sign is one that could just as easily be applied to him. The Argentinian legend, who turns 50 later this year, possesses all those characteristics and more. Considered by many to be the greatest footballer that ever walked the Earth, he is now preparing for the most searching examination of his eventful tenure as coach of Argentina: the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. Aside from his playing skills and status as a footballing idol, Maradona is also famed for his way with words. Sometimes blunt, sometimes irascible, but never dull, Maradona has made many an unforgettable appearance in front of the microphones, sometimes leaving his audience open-mouthed, just as he once did on the field of play. FIFA.com rounds up a selection of El Pelusa’s most outspoken and revealing observations on life and football. full article

Estimate says Apple already past 500,000 iPads sold

iPad sales have already cracked the 500,000 mark with less than a week on the market, an estimate by Chitika found today. Basing it on the amount of new iPads connecting to Chitika's ad network and accounting for the company's share of the market, it believes that over 530,000 of the Apple tablets have been sold as of Wednesday night. The prediction would have Apple almost doubling its 300,000 launch day units and passing that figure by the end of the week or sooner. The data isn't a direct reflection of sales, as customers won't necessarily reach Chitika ads the same day they activate their iPads. However, it does show trends and so far indicates that Apple has a fairly consistent sell-through rate each day. Unsurprisingly, the device is also the most popular in California, where 19.5 percent of current owners live, followed by equally tech-friendly states New York and Texas, which each have about 8.1 percent. If accurate, the calculation would be a symbolic win for Apple as it would see the iPad eclipse e-reader sales milestones far faster than any of its immediate competitors. Barnes & Noble is believed to have taken half a year to reach 500,000 Nooks sold, while the Amazon Kindle in the early e-reader market took all of 2008 to sell a similar amount. Apple is helped by coming later and by making e-reading just one of many iPad features; only 38 percent plan to read books. Still, the sales rate if true could give it one of the largest addressable reader bases within months.
