iPad Parody Highlights Device Shortcomings [VIDEO]
For all y’all out there who think that the iPad leaves much to be desired, we’ve got the video for you. This parody, made as an assignment for a Comm 340 class (I hope they got an A), highlights all that’s lacking in the mythical device. It doesn’t have a camera , you can’t use it to make a phone call, and the name itself has spawned countless parodies — not to mention throwbacks to ‘ 90s television — that’s basically this video’s beef with Steve Jobs’s newest shiny, shiny baby.

Apple Takes iPad Secrecy All the Way to 11
In order to have access to iPad testing units, developers and testers had to agree to keep the device tethered to a fixed object in an isolated room with blacked-out windows, according to a report by BusinessWeek . That’s pretty hardcore. It’s unclear from BusinessWeek’s report if that was a condition enforced before the iPad was unveiled to the public or if it’s something that will be kept up until the April 3 launch date. Apple is a notoriously secretive company, especially when it comes to new products. Outside of partnerships with content publishers like The New York Times, Wired and The Wall Street Journal who have either confirmed interest or already shown demonstrations of their applications, the few developers that do have access to the iPad are keeping their mouths shut

Social Networking Usage Surges Globally [STATS]
According to the Nielsen Company , the global average time spent per person on social networking sites is now nearly five and half hours per month (February 2010 data), with Facebook accounting for the majority of that time. That’s up more than two hours from last year. In arriving at that conclusion, Nielsen measured social network usage per person across 10 countries and compared that to data from the same time last year. When looking at specific countries, Italy tops the charts with social network time per person just under six and a half hours per month (6:27:53), and Australia is a close second (6:02:34)
