Last week, Facebook held its annual F8 conference. Much like Apple's WWDC, F8 is an event where Facebook shows off new innovations to the media and its developers.
While there were a number of announcements made on Thursday, there was something noticeably missing from Mark Zuckerburg's keynote: the iPad app. We know it exists, so why hasn't Facebook released it yet?
Are things not looking so bright for Apple? A report by JP Morgan this morning claims that the company has been cutting iPad orders from vendors. Several of those supply-chain vendors indicated that Apple cut iPad orders for the 4th quarter of 2011 by 25%.

I've had stands that have acted as cases, cases that have acted as stands, portable stands, stationary stands, and more. In other words, I've see a lot of good, and I've seen a lot of bad.

The first vending machine, according to Wikipedia, was invented by Hero of Alexandria. The Greek engineer's machine would dispense holy water upon coin deposits. Obviously, it's come a long way since then.
Nowadays vending machines carry everything from drinks to candy. And in some places, (mostly airports) you can even score a digital camera and other small electronics from these digital kiosks. So, where do these things go from here?
When you went in to your local Apple Store to buy your shiny new iPad 2 this year, did you see a place to donate your old iPad? While most of us would rather sell off our old gadgets instead of giving them away for free, it was definitely for a good cause.
TechCrunch spotlights the cool Apple project that allows users to give their old iPads to the Teach for America organization. The program takes used iPads, refurbishes them, and then distributes them to teachers of the TFA foundation...
