Being one of the few people in the world to have given the iPad a proper workout, I can tell you that once you get it in your hands, it’s good. “I love it; it’s going to change the world. I want to lick its screen and take it away with me now,” said Stephen Fry beside me. He was right: the iPad has that tactile and aesthetic appeal that rivals struggle to match. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/personal_tech/test_bench/article7008551.ece

70% of Employers Have Rejected Applicants Over Online Info [Switched.com]
In a survey of Web-surfers, human resource workers, and employment
recruiters across the U.S., U.K., Germany and France, researchers
found that, although most people acknowledge that their personal
online behavior may have ramifications in their professional lives,
comparatively few actually consider that fact when publishing photos
or posts online. A full 70-percent of surveyed HR workers in the U.S. admitted to
rejecting a job applicant because of his or her Internet behavior. Meanwhile, about 60-percent of surfers admit to being concerned that
their online behavior may affect their professional or personal lives.
A mere 15-percent of them, though, actually take these potential
repercussions into consideration when posting content. http://www.switched.com/2010/01/28/happy-data-privacy-day-70-of-job-applicants-rejected-over-onli/
