We’ve heard some pretty awesome stories before about how “Find my iPhone/iPad” had been used and actually managed to recover said stolen device, and here’s another one we can add to the list, although this might be a tad more exciting than your typical story as it does involve one of the criminals escaping in a vehicle, although there was no car chase, unfortunately. This took place in New Zealand where a father and son went out to their car after a meal only to find that it had been ransacked and with their iPad stolen (amongst other things). Thankfully they installed Find my iPad and fired up the app on their phone and discovered that the tablet was in a suburb nearby.
They called the cops who accompanied them to the suburb, which according to the dad, was “full of suspicious, sunglass-wearing scoundrels.” One of the criminals managed to escape and actually turned off the tracking feature, but thinking quickly, the dad set the iPad to “lost” mode and sent a message saying, “It’s a small town. We’ve seen you, your car, and your friends. Drop the bag and iPad at Countdown by the Warehouse by 5pm tomorrow and we’ll leave the cops out of it”. Surprisingly they managed to get their iPad back, and the cops managed to nab the thief as well. According to Sgt. Jo Managh, “The fact that technology allows us and affords us to track our own stolen property is fantastic. It helped us locate and recover it back to the victim.”

After both new iPads were unveiled late last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company was on track for “an iPad Christmas.” Apple’s new tablets were expected to perform very well, and it appears that they just might have done so. Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, a market research firm, has conducted a new survey and found that the iPad Air was most popular among U.S. customers last month, beating out the iPad mini with Retina display by quite a margin. 
Going green these days involve some basic stuff – you bring your own grocery bag or box to shop, drive as little as possible or use a hybrid ride if you can afford one, as well as working in a paperless environment if the situation permits. The Kenyan Parliament has decided to take the paperless route as the government of Kenya has purchased 450 iPads for their members of Parliament as well as those in the senate.
One of the great things about tablets is that they incredibly light (for the most part) and portable, and they usually come with pretty nice displays too, which makes it a pretty handy tool for photographers to transfer photos on to edit or for viewing purposes. Sure, a laptop could get the job done but in the field, a tablet would admittedly be a lot more convenient. In any case photographers who do a lot of field work might be interested to learn that Adobe Lightroom could be making its way onto the iPad very soon, thanks to a recent leak.
Some games just play a whole lot better on the tablet compared to a smartphone, for the very simple fact that the tablet has a far larger viewing real estate. Of course, it also helps that with more screen space to look at, programmers and game developers are able to cram in a whole lot more stuff inside. 
A couple of years ago, Beamdog announced that they would be reviving the Baldur’s Gate franchise through “Enhanced Editions” of the game and its expansions. This basically meant that the developers would be updating the graphics while maintaining the tone and feel, while adding new characters and new quest lines, so that players who have gone through Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 will have some fresh material to play with. Well the good news is that if you’re already gone through Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, you might be pleased to learn that
