Apple's iPad 2 augments but doesn't reinvent the tablet

People lined up for blocks to buy an incremental update to an established product. In the gadget market, that's not ordinarily rational behavior.But Apple's iPad and the iPad 2 that arrived in stores Friday are not ordinary gadgets.

Asmer makes F3 return at Spa

Marko Asmer will return to the British Formula 3 Championship at Spa this weekend for the first time since winning the series in 2007. The 26-year-old Estonian will drive a Dallara-Mercedes for Double R Racing alongside regulars Scott Pye and Pipo Derani, but will not be eligible for championship points. The team had hoped to run Asmer's countryman Kevin Korjus, but the Formula Renault 3.5 racer will compete in Auto GP at Oschersleben instead.

Google Chrome and Chromium add protection against malicious downloads

google chrome malicious download
Google Chrome already sports a number of security-minded features, from Incognito mode to a software sandbox which makes exploiting the browser a Herculean task. Now, Google has announced additional protection for Chromium and Chrome users.

Built upon the Safe Browsing API, the new feature introduces protection against malicious downloads. If a download link appears in the Safe Browsing blacklist, Chrome and Chromium will warn users against downloading -- a save button is still presented, of course, in case you're convinced a file is perfectly safe to download.

We'd like to see something a bit more eye-catching than the red warning icon -- like perhaps painting the entire bar red. Many of the people a feature like this aims to protect probably won't notice the icon or change in wording as they'll be focused on clicking the save button.

Google is initially making download protection available to Chrome dev channel users, and you'll likely see it in Canary and Chromium snapshot builds as well. After thorough testing, beta and stable users will be next in line.

Actress Used CGI Nipples to Fake a Nude Scene [WTFriday]

Olivia Wilde, beautiful actress, has a nude scene in the upcoming movie The Change-Up. Which is funny because she wasn't actually naked in the scene—she wore pasties to cover up her bitties. Turns out, they CGI'd her nipples in post-production. More »
