AT&T just sent me a nice email about the theft of my private data last week. I find it interesting that this message was sent at 9:45PM on Sunday night.

Dear Valued AT&T Customer,
Recently there was an issue that affected some of our customers with AT&T 3G service for iPad resulting in the release of their customer email addresses.…

With just over a week left until Steve Jobs takes the stage for the keynote address at this years annual World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, I am thinking about what we might see. After every keynote there is always a short-lived euphoria that results from being inside the reality distortion field followed but a postpartum depression.…

There are a number of big magazines out there that have created their own iPad application such as Wired, Time, and Popular Science. At $5 per issue it is hard to justify buying them over the newsstand version. Wired magazine as a monthly is a pretty good deal because the digital version is less expensive than the paper version.…

Once of the best features of Amazon Kindle is the ability to sync your location between devices. I would love to have that ability in my Audible.com audiobooks. I often listen to books on my iPod in my car. I have the same book on my iPhone but it is very difficult to get back to the same spot.…

I was just wondering this morning if Wired would ever come out with their iPad version and behold it is there. For $4.99 you can have access to the June issue with Buzz and Woody on the cover. $4.99 seems like a fair price for this issue when you consider what the newsstand version costs.…

I’m away from home and using my iPad to keep In touch. My only WiFi access is very limited and does not allow basic services like IMAP, SMTP, or VPN — only web access is allowed. That should not be a problem because I can get my email in Safari by going to me.com…

Unfortunately the NasaTV web page is not designed to work on iPad. It relies on RealPlayer for some reason. Hop over to SpaceVidCast.com and click on the home page link. You can watch full screen.

If you want to send insecure email from your iPad,
there’s an app for that –or at least an open port. After setting up my iPad 3G I noticed that I had an extra SMTP server listed. This server was both unprotected and insecure.…
