Heads up to anyone interested in the new HDMI adapter. I bought it, excited to use it to easily show apps/games on my TV, and I just discovered that with both of my new iPad 2 units, the HDMI adapter outputs an empty black screen to the TV. Fail.
Anyone experiencing this?
I imagine that a lot of TVs simply aren't going to like to see 1024x768 over HDMI connections. Wish Apple had considered that.

In a recent post that garnered some attention, I had said there were some new Insprion systems based on Intel's latest Core processors. Welcome Dell's new Inspiron R series laptops. That means these new machines will offer great performance across all kinds of tasks.
Pwn2Own had a tremendous start with a MacBook Pro getting exploited in 5 seconds by Charlie Miller who has now walked off with an exploit four years in a row. Just staggering. IE8 and Firefox also fell and Chrome was untouched (the exploit for IE8 is patched in IE9). But moving on to mobility, the iPhone 4 was cracked in 5 minutes. It’s ………..

A group buying website has been censured after promoting a cut-price iPhone sale when it only had eight handsets available.
Nearly 15,000 people registered with Groupola for the "misleading" sale, shortly after the iPhone 4 launch, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said.
But they were not told that only eight phones were on sale at the discount price of £99.
Found via Imgur, but I have also talked to people who live near SIU and they have verified that this is (sadly) real. Oops.
Cupertino, CA — Step aside, Perrier. Prepare for oblivion, Poland Spring. After steamrolling the music player, smartphone and tablet markets, Apple is out to disrupt a whole new category.

Peccato per il prezzo 
No multitasking! During his presentation of the iPad, Steve Jobs called netbook cheap laptops. Guess what Steve, I might have a “cheap laptop” but I’m currently typing this post on it with 2 Firefox windows opened, TweetDeck, a Word Document and Flickr Uploader running at the same time. Can your iPad do that? Netbooks are fulfilling a need. The iPad is not. It’s just struggling to create a one. Not having multitasking on the iPad really sucks.
No camera! If you’re going to create a mobile device for Mom and Pops, you’d better give it at least a front facing camera because Mom sure loves to Skype her daughter. I didn’t expect a back-facing camera on the iPad, but I sure hoped for a front-facing one.
It’s big! Of course it’s big, it’s the purpose of it. Still, I’m confused. Does Apple have to license plus-size pockets as an official iPad accessory?
It’s heavy! At 1.5 Lbs, I don’t think you’re gonna be able to hold this baby for 2 hours without developing a tendinitis.
No Video Output! If you thought about plugging your iPad in your TV to watch a slideshow of your latest vacation’s pictures, then think again because it’s not going to happen.
