The idea here isn’t that you could install a nefarious extension; proposed is a malicious thought that a developer could gain the trust of a large user base, before updating the extension with bad code. Because Safari automatically updates, imagine the potential for wrong doing: nobody is watching.

Apple has just released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone and iPod Touch and 3.2.2 for iPad. Do these new firmwares fix the PDF issue used by JailbreakMe? Does the iPhone 3G come with better performances? What about proximity sensor issues on iPhone 4?

A Full Metal Jacket Case John Connor Would Carry
Whether you’re dodging bullets from a rail gun or deflecting laser blasts from clumsy Storm Troopers, the Full Metal Jacket iPhone 4 case offers the most extreme protection as you outrun the SkyNet.
The iPhone, iPad Controlled Massage Chair You Want to Have
I’m sure Steve Jobs has upgraded his squeaky office chair for the Human AcuTouch 9500 by now. Not only does it automatically adjust to all those tender spots on your delicate body, it remembers how you like to lounge and transitions any susceptible being into a state of orgasmic relaxation. I’m not kidding when I say this is the most advanced lawn chair/massage ornament in existence.
The iPad TV - Relive the 80s Era of Fuzzy CRT
The iPad has found its way onto refrigerators, toying with Legos, reviving an iMac G4, plastered onto walls with velcro, and now into the set of your favorite 1980’s television.
iPad Camera Kit vs. Chinese Knock-Off

Gruber: iPod Touch with Retina Display and Dual Cameras Coming “In A Few Weeks”
John Gruber, while talking about the Dell Streak:
“That’s almost twice as much as a good iPod Touch, and if you wait a few weeks to buy the Touch, you’ll get one with a Retina Display and dual cameras. If Dell can’t make an iPod Touch competitor, who can?”

Apple Opens Up Compatibility Labs for Developers
If you’ve been a member of Apple’s Developer Connection program, you’ve no doubt taken advantage of Apple’s compatibility labs. If you’ve ever wanted to test the next hit application on a variety of hardware, Apple launched on Monday a $99 Single Day Lab Day Pass for compatibility lab testing inside the Tokyo and Cupertino campuses.
500 different hardware configurations are available for testing from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and while Apple Lab Engineers will be on hand to assist you with configurations, items such as certification and engineering support aren’t available.
It’s suggest that you’d inquire for a Day Pass three days before you actually need to use the labs, and while the $99 Day Pass makes Apple’s labs accessible, you can’t forget about the travel and lodging fees you’ll incur along the way. Hopefully you’re a native on the American West Coast (or metropolitan Japan).
Apple has a spiffy compatibility lab site you can check out here.
