There’s no word of any updates in compatibility for iPad, but it’s probably just too soon for that yet.
That “remember my password” fix will definitely come in handy, though. Get it while the gettin’s good!

We’ve heard a few reports of sync issues with the new Apple TV 3.0 software over the past few days, and apparently the chatter on the Apple support boards was on the mark: Apple has shipped 3.0.1, which is supposed to fix problems where 3.0 units would unexpectedly dump all their loaded content. You can get all the details from Apple’s tech note.
Since it’s a giant pain to resync gigabytes of media over the network link, it’s nice to see this fixed promptly…. but considering that the Apple TV 3.0 update was billed as a major improvement to Apple’s ‘hobby,’ this bug is not going to make any fans out of Apple TV foes.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

If you want to have a hot and steamy exchange with your sweetheart via AIM on the iPhone, you might want to think again — if you have an unlocked or jailbroken phone.
CrunchGear reports that Till Schadde with Equinux has discovered an iPhone exploit where AIM messages could be sent to random people without you even knowing it. Schadde discovered this when he was notified that a message he had sent to his iPhone version of AIM got intercepted by someone else. That person proceeded to contact Schaddle, sharing the screenshot shown at right with him. Schadde posted the screenshot and detailed the bug on Twitter after testing it once more from his computer.
The exploit is being blamed on iPhone 3.0’s push notification and seems to be limited to unlocked/jailbroken iPhones at the moment.

i have been getting bites every night for about 2 weeks. i don’t think they are from bed bugs because i think i would have seen them by now. i think they might be smaller. i’m looking for a safe alternative to calling in an exterminator.
For 2 weeks I have been waking up with bug bites all over my body. They started on my arms and legs, then when I wear long-sleeve shirt to bed, they moved to my hands. They moved to my necks some days later. Today I got 4 on my face. I think I have bed bugs on my bed. I already washed the sheet and comforter once, but it doesn’t work. What should I do? I don;t have any pet either.
