People do some pretty crazy stuff with their iPads. But you won’t believe this. So a Canadian guy was going to the U.S. He realized he forgot his passport, but guess what came to the rescue, his iPad! How can this be? Well, he had a copy of his passport on his iPad. At first the guy who scans he passports was reluctant, but he took the iPad and scanned it. It worked.

iPad Gets BURNED
In the video just upwards of this post, you will see a video of an iPad 2 being put in lava. This is a bad idea, but it’s a really fun way to break your iPad. Don’t burn yourself though! A company that makes iPad cases and such, went to Hawaii and put an iPad 2 in one of Hawaii’s flowing volcanoes. Of course, they didn’t use their hands to dip it. The reason they did this was just so you could go get some of their products. Crazy!

iPhone Explodes On Airplane (again)
Do you remember four days ago, when that iPhone exploded on that Australian flight? Well, it happened again and this time on a Brazilian flight. According to some statements in Brazil,
The phone was plugged in to charge during the night, and a passenger sleeping right next to it while it was smoking, and sparking.
Hopefully very soon Apple will make a hardware fix to stop this.

Apple Removes Carrier IQ In iOS 5
Have you ever heard of Carrier IQ? It is kind of explains itself in the name. It takes keystrokes from your phone, and uses them to have cell phone diagnostics and improve your cell phone provider. But as a Verizon Wireless employee said on twitter (you can see it here) He said,
We do not add Carrier IQ to our phones. We do not use other similar software on our devices.
According to Apple, they do not. A website called AllthingsD got some pretty admitting words out of Apple. Here is the direct quote from AllThingsD.
Apple said,
“We stopped supporting Carrier IQ with iOS 5 in most of our products and will remove it completely in a future software update. With any diagnostic data sent to Apple, customers must actively opt-in to share this information, and if they do, the data is sent in an anonymous and encrypted form and does not include any personal information. We never recorded keystrokes, messages or any other personal information for diagnostic data and have no plans to ever do so.”
So be on the lookout for new updates that completely obliterate Carrier IQ in iOS.
