If you actually stayed online during the weekend when both Orthodox and Catholic religions celebrated Jesus turn into a zombie, then you father’t need to read this because the mere whisper of the news iPad, combined with your already fragile mental commonwealth, may cause you to go to your nearest Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) Store and begin pumping rounds willy-nilly into anyone with flannel headphones coming out the side of their drumhead.

For those who wish to melodic line in to what happened, net ball’s pump out some news!

Apple’s iPad came out on Saturday, and 24 hours later a pressure release came out of Cupertino saying that the troupe sold over 300,000 during the first base twenty-four hours.Angst ridden white kids, who live in some random suburban sprawling, and ar pickings far too much Ritalin, bought an iPad and took an aluminimum baseball bat to the damn thing. They recorded a video recording.Those guys who shuffle that liquidizer that can blending just about any physical object known to man shoved an iPad inside said liquidizer and the results speak for themselves.iFixit not only took the iPad apart, but they also teamed up with Canadian capital based (Canada for those of you who ar geographically challenged) Chipworks to tear apart the A4 processor inside! The type of item they go into is usually found in reports that sell for upwards of $10,000, so consider yourselves extremely lucky to get approach to such rich information.Some cable car alteration place shoved an iPad into a cable car’s splashboard, because when I think safety, I think of Tyrone updating his MySpace status piece a spliff is suspension out of his mouth and Dead Prez is blasting out of the 12 speakers in his trunk, 10 of which ar subwoofers.Less than 3 days after the iPad came out Apple invites a whole lot of pressure folks to an event to appearance off iPhone OS 4.0.

He says the OS is roadster, isn’t really that much better than previous versions of Symbian, and that piece the first base device to ship with Symbian^3 volition be pretty on the outside, it’s going to be as dumb as Forest Gump on the inside. He’s thrown in the towel for Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s 2010 smartphone lineup, and he even goes so far as to defend himself against the citizenry who title he is anti-Nokia. Eldar loves Nokia, a lot, but he’s upset they’re not workings hard to compete with the best that the contention has to pass.Palm (NSDQ: PALM), who is in worse shape than a deaf, dumb, and blind paraplegic, has decided to get rid of the advertising means that did those stupid commercials with that creepy ultra pale lady and flight Chinese citizenry.Someone overclocked a Nokia N900 and made it hit 1 gigahertz.
