Between Zite and News360, I don't have time to use my iPad for anything else :( Although that tells you how good these apps are :)

One word: Zite

One step closer to windows... the good parts of windows, anyway.

please please please let me win something for once in my life.

The amount of misinformation in these comments is absurd. If you don't know anything about the keychain, or iOS security, you probably shouldn't be lending your opinion on the validity of this hack.

Like it or not, iOS has piss-poor security from a professional hacking standpoint, and it puts all of your password data at risk.

This is a fairly large issue that Apple should address for the good of its users, and thankfully, it is easily remedied at the cost of a little user unfriendliness (which will most assuredly keep Apple from actually fixing the problem... oh the irony of all).

Too bad half this stuff did't make it into OS X. Talk about ahead of it's time.

It took 4+ revisions of iOS to get a brightness bar within 2 button pushes. Good job Apple!

As far as waking up in the middle of the night, i imagine you have screen sharing, etc., turned on?

its probably waking up to ping your airport (if that is what you are using) to let it know its still "there".

Lol, so true. Erica is one of the hungriest trolls on the internet. I know this is a mac blog, but many readers like microsoft products. Stop alienating them!

The Zune is hands down the best music player out there. Clearly you've never used one, which is sad because you're shutting out great products in return for a clunky user experience (itunes/ipod) instead of enjoying the Zune marketplace.

Here are some things you probably didnt know:

$15 a month gets you unlimited downloads, and you keep 10 tracks free every month.
Every song in the zune catalog is now backed by an mp3 counterpart.
When you "keep" a track, you actually get the mp3 counterpart, not the wma version.
A single subscription can feed 2 zunes, and up to 3 computers.
You can download any track over wifi straight from the zune (HD version only).
You can sync over wifi for any zune.

So yeah, Microsoft sucks at marketing, but they do everything else pretty damn well. If they ever decide to actually focus on a tablet product (Hello, Courier?? too bad they cancelled it), you best pay attention.
