Weird "Infinite @ reply's" bug in Twitter for iPad - Video
Weird "Infinite @ reply's" bug in Twitter for iPad - Video
I was just sitting around this morning and I was checking my Twitter feed when I came across this. It is a bug wherein after clicking an @reply, you can build an endless Twitter pane (and slow your iPad to a crawl in the process). It’s a really weird bug, but no harm done (and it could be a neat joke to pull on someone).
Anyhoo, what you need to do is find an @reply to you with no links and it has to be a reply to one of your own tweets (like a thread), otherwise this won’t work. Tell us how far you get before your iPad gives up!

Watch - iPad Illusions that screw with your Eyes
The iPad is one of the last places you would think to find optical illusions, but yet add a stripe lined transparent sheet and run it along corresponding striped shapes and you got yourself some pretty inventive animations.

US and Canada have the most expensive cellphone plans in the world
“Oh! This is why my texting bill is so high!”
According to a new report from the New America Foundation’s Open Technology Initiative (OTI), smartphone and cellphone users in Canada and the US tend to pay much more for a cell phone package than anyone else in the world. It doesn’t come as that much of a shock, but hearing this over and over again really makes me wonder if we really are “world leaders” in technology when we can’t even manage to afford half of it. Here is a great quote from Ars Technica’s Arsicle:

Either someone is uploading their old UFO tapes to Youtube all at once, or there is a crazy co-incidence happening. It seems that in-fact there actually is something fishy going on, and we’re going to lay it out for you right now.

Former Apple CEO John Sculley talks about Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs is one of the most interesting and influential people in the world. He has built a company who’s core values contradict everything that the “rule book” demands, and he has always sacrificed cost, popularity and market share, for user experience. Some say he is an over-controlling overloard, and others say he is the best thing that has ever happened to consumer technology industry — but one thing is for sure, Steve Jobs is one of the most interesting people in the world.
