Well well well, here's a tasty little morsel that we weren't expecting to crop up. If Mashable's Ben Parr is correct, and his sources aren't telling him lies, Facebook is set to launch its much-anticipated iPad app during Apple's yet to be announced special event for the release of iOS 5.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
OnLive, the fancy way of 'streaming' games to your computer or OnLive's own set-top box, excels at allowing those of us without monster PCs or Mac Pros, to play all the latest titles without needing to splash the cash on expensive upgrades by streaming the video to a client machine, and sending key and mouse commands back in the other direction. It works well, for the most part. The service even has iPad and Android clients, but that's not quite as exciting as you might think.
Social networking giant, Twitter, could have provided yet another clue as to the potential release date of the much awaited fifth release of Apple's iOS software.

With Apple's iPhone being a device that we carry around pretty much 24/7, we often want to share web content with each other, and thanks to the App Store, there are more than a few good ways to do just that.
When Apple introduced the App Store way back then, and later the whole notification system that has caused such uproar among iOS users, somewhere along the way ended up with notification badges.
You know the feeling - you've just picked up your brand new, shiny iPhone 4 from one of Apple's immaculate stores, but there's something missing, something intangible, but you can't quite put your finger on it. You tap and swipe your way effortlessly around the iOS interface, but it's just not right. It needs something. That's right, it needs more Windows! (No, it doesn't, really)
