Submission + - New iPad Jailbroken On Day One (zdnet.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Just hours after the new Apple iPad was released, it was jailbroken in three (how appropriate!) separate ways. This means that hackers have already found and exploited security holes to run custom code on the new iPad with iOS 5.1.

Submission + - A black background: Would it help conserve energy? 3

Snirt writes: "I have often wondered if webpages and applications built with a black background consumed lesser energy when compared with bright colored pages. Naturally, I am always inclined to use black background mode when presented with the choice just as in the case of the terminal, cmd prompt and autodesk autocad in order to reduce glare. Webpages are rare to find in black though, except for a few 'hacker community sites', which I find quite readable. Since black implies absence of light (I assume black pixels don't need energy), would this help reduce the carbon foot print of the pc monitors?"
