| Rumor says iPad 3 will launch on February 24, Steve Jobs birthday Posted: 24 Dec 2011 11:37 AM PST If Apple sticks to its usual schedule, it will likely unveil its third-generation iPad in early 2012. But when exactly will we get our hands on the shiny new tablet? A new report from the Economic Times, picked up by Focus Taiwan and 9to5Mac, says Apple will launch the iPad 3 on Feb. 24 in honor of Steve Jobs's birthday. As 9to5Mac noted, Apple typically unveils its gadgets at press events on Tuesdays or Wednesdays and launches those products on a Friday or Saturday. Feb. 24 is a Friday, so if there's any truth to the rumor, the iPad 3 would probably hit stores that day but be introduced earlier in the month. The iPad 2 hit stores on Friday, March 11; it was unveiled on Wednesday, March 2. Jobs, who at the time was on medical leave, returned to show off the new tablet. "We've been working on this product for awhile and I didn't want to miss today," Jobs said at the time. The first iPad was unveiled on Wednesday, Jan. 27 and hit stores on Saturday, April 3.

| GoDaddy backs down from SOPA support due to backlash Posted: 24 Dec 2011 11:27 AM PST Domain name registrar GoDaddy on Friday withdrew its support for the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) amidst a backlash from customers who were vehemently against the legislation. In a statement, GoDaddy CEO Warren Adelman said the company will support SOPA "when and if the Internet community supports it." A previously published, lengthy defense of SOPA now points to GoDaddy's updated statement, which the company said is intended to "eliminate any confusion." The move comes after a Reddit user called on those with GoDaddy domains to move them elsewhere by Dec. 29, prompting godaddyboycott.org. Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh quickly pledged to make the move. "We will move our 1,000 domains off @godaddy unless you drop support of SOPA. We love you guys, but #SOPA-is-cancer to the Free Web," Huh tweeted yesterday.
