AT&T did it again. After exposing private data on more than 114,000 iPad 3G customers, Apple's cellular partner has inadvertently shared iPhone account data amid a flood of pre-orders. And a customer sent us screenshots to prove it.

Apple should be angry that AT&T exposed iPad 3G owners' private information to hackers. Layoffs in AT&T's top security office, which reportedly took place just weeks before the debut of the iPad, should make it positively livid.

Apple has proclaimed an iPad "revolution," and has already picked the winners and losers. Banned in its cultural shift are literary illustrations of gay couples making, and of Ulysses. Allowed are heterosexual couples making out and swimsuit editions.

Two young businessmen have been arrested in Arizona for trying to trade an iPod touch and a quarter-ounce of marijuana for an iPad. On Craigslist. Complete with a photo of the iPod... and the weed.

AT&T sent out an email to all Apple 3G iPad owners on Sunday night, apologizing for, and trying to explain, the breach that exposed some 114,000 email addresses, blaming the incident on the "malicious" work of "hackers."

This week we bit another piece out of the Apple. Or was it the AT&T? Whatever it was, it was a bite of something.

Two days ago, we reported that Michael Bloomberg's security may have been compromised in the Great iPad Security Breach of 2010. So how does New York's billionaire mayor feel about his private information being revealed?

The FBI has confirmed it is investigating how private information about iPad users was compromised via an insecure AT&T Web server, as Gawker first reported yesterday. The FBI also contacted Gawker Media today.

Steve Jobs has cast Apple as the most pristine of tech giants, but his sanctimony sometimes backfires. Here, the CEO says Apple guards each use of private customer data—days before Apple partner AT&T exposed iPad customers' private information.

Apple remains silent on the breached privacy of upwards of 114,000 iPad owners, leaving its partner AT&T to apologize for the mishap—and to struggle to contain the PR damage.

AT&T just issued an official statement concerning the iPad breach. We've updated our original post.

Apple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians. They—and every other buyer of the cellular-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking.

Guess there was only so much time before even dogs had tech devices for entertainment. Watch as this dog has a blast playing air hockey on an iPad.

Last Tuesday, the New York Times raved that the "stylish and easy-to-use" iPad app Pulse gives "hope... [to] news organizations still puzzling over their iPad strategies." On Monday, New York Times lawyers had the app banned. That'll teach those hopemongers.

Steve Jobs has already been busted for exaggerating the resolution of a new iPhone screen the Apple CEO unveiled yesterday. It's only the latest in a series of misleading videos, pictures and claims designed to part you and your money.

The iPhone 4 was (officially) announced mere hours ago, but the Internet has already produced a great parody ad featuring Jane Lynch and KassemG. Inside, video of Lynch and her cohort lamenting "leaked" features and name-checking Gizmodo in the process.

Steve Jobs is the king of product demos, which only makes his glitchy unveiling of the new iPhone today all the more embarrassing. Witness the Apple chief's seething frustration on stage—and guess how many employees he'll fire. [Gizmodo]

New York's attorney general is investigating complaints that Apple mistreated customers of Asian descent at Gotham stores, demanding to see their passports, saying their English sucked and, worst of all, denying them precious, sweet iPads.

The demo iPads at Apple stores are like something out of The Andromeda Strain. The Daily News swabbed a couple and found staphylococcus aureus, "the most common cause of staph infections", as well as yeast and a rash-causing bacteria. [Gothamist]
