This is a plain rumor since that's what Gruber, the source, called it himself. Gruber, known best for authentic Apple reports and leaks has quietly slipped a rumor in a footnote of an Engadget bashing post. Gruber wrote the post to point out that there weren't any eleventh hour changes like Engadget reported, in fact, the original reporting by Engadget was clearly wrong since nothing has changed in iPad 2 since January.

It's a bitter truth but we all have a little stalker inside of us. A lot of us at one point in time make use of Facebook to stalk the people we were in relationship with or want to get in relationship with.

If you're a PS3 owner, there's a little chance you haven't heard of the Sony-Geohot row that's around for a while.

Earlier today, we were tipped by a really awesome guy about UK carrier Three blocking Cydia servers on their 3G network. The block also affected Cydia in Ireland and China apart from UK. Three is known to block a lot of websites including but not limited to warez and P0rn. Speaking of p0rn, Cydia was also blocked in an effort to filter adult content and not to prevent jailbreakers, which by the way, was accidental.
