One of the primary colossal improvements made to the recently-launched iPad 3 is the Retina display, a vibrant, extremely high-resolution display which makes pixels as hard to spot as Waldo. However, Apple did not address an issue which has impacted the device since day one: You cannot use the iPad in the portrait orientation while wearing polarized sunglasses. Bad news for all of you who planned to do some reading in the sun by the waves this summer (avoiding glare issues by wearing your polarized sunglasses, of course).

The SwipeCam tweak by developer Ron Melkhior that has been released in the last day or so is no different, and offers iOS 5 users the ability to gain access to a few different system toggles through the use of a swipe gesture.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the time has come for you to stop worrying about receiving an astronomical monthly bill from your network provider telling you that you owe them an extortionate amount of money due to the fact that you have massively exceeded your cellular data download limits. In my experience, cellular data is a varying beast.
