Champions of the printed page, rejoice! A new study found that reading speed declines anywhere from 6.2-10.7% when using a Kindle or iPad instead of an old-fashioned book. This is probably because people keep asking to touch your iPad. [Mashable]

Global Mundo Tapas, a restaurant in Sydney, Australia, has replaced its menus with the MenuPad app for iPads.

The mania for Apple's newest gadgets isn't confined to frighteningly obsessive consumers; filmmakers are now touting movies about, shot through and even edited on iPads and new iPhones. This gimmick content isn't nearly as bad as you might think.

The iPad security breach earlier this month didn't just expose thousands of email addreses, but could also help hackers track down users' physical locations, says a growing chorus of security experts.

Every day, it seems a new iPad feature gets demonstrated on the Internet. Watch as artist David Kassan uses his iPad and the Brushes app to finger paint a man's portrait with a stunning level of detail. Electronic art, indeed!

In cities across America, throngs of fanboys are lined up for the new iPhone. There are too many customers, and too few of Apple's shiny new product. The chaos is rising with the summer temperature, and so is the anger.

Amazon.com cut its Kindle price by $70 to $190, and Barnes & Noble did likewise with the Nook. This is no doubt to fend off Apple's fast-selling iPad, but should also keep people buying those high-margin $15 e-books. Clever.

Apple has a new privacy policy letting it collect and retain the "precise... real-time geographic location" of users, and share this with outsiders. The data is supposed to be anonymous, but you know how that goes. Enjoy that new sp-iPhone!

Two iPad shipments to Apple stores in NYC have been intercepted by robbers this week.

A member of Goatse Security had his home searched by the FBI yesterday before going to jail for drugs. The group gave Apple and AT&T headaches over weak iPad customer security; now it's been punished with headaches of its own.

Apple should be angry that AT&T exposed iPad 3G owners' private information to hackers. Layoffs in AT&T's top security office, which reportedly took place just weeks before the debut of the iPad, should make it positively livid.

Apple has proclaimed an iPad "revolution," and has already picked the winners and losers. Banned in its cultural shift are literary illustrations of gay couples making, and of Ulysses. Allowed are heterosexual couples making out and swimsuit editions.

Two young businessmen have been arrested in Arizona for trying to trade an iPod touch and a quarter-ounce of marijuana for an iPad. On Craigslist. Complete with a photo of the iPod... and the weed.

AT&T sent out an email to all Apple 3G iPad owners on Sunday night, apologizing for, and trying to explain, the breach that exposed some 114,000 email addresses, blaming the incident on the "malicious" work of "hackers."

This week we bit another piece out of the Apple. Or was it the AT&T? Whatever it was, it was a bite of something.

Two days ago, we reported that Michael Bloomberg's security may have been compromised in the Great iPad Security Breach of 2010. So how does New York's billionaire mayor feel about his private information being revealed?

The FBI has confirmed it is investigating how private information about iPad users was compromised via an insecure AT&T Web server, as Gawker first reported yesterday. The FBI also contacted Gawker Media today.

Apple remains silent on the breached privacy of upwards of 114,000 iPad owners, leaving its partner AT&T to apologize for the mishap—and to struggle to contain the PR damage.

Apple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians. They—and every other buyer of the cellular-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking.

Steve Jobs has already been busted for exaggerating the resolution of a new iPhone screen the Apple CEO unveiled yesterday. It's only the latest in a series of misleading videos, pictures and claims designed to part you and your money.
