The TSA has some good news for frequent fliers. The next time you catch a flight from Hereville to Thereville, you'll be able to leave your iPad, netbook, and other similar size electronics in your carry-on luggage during checkpoint screening.
"Electronic items smaller than the standard sized laptop should not need to be removed from your bag or their case. It's that simple," Blogger Bob from the TSA Blog Team wrote.
So what exactly are you allowed to keep tucked inside your bag? The TSA lists a handful of items, including "iPads, Kindles, Neos, Nooks, Sony Readers, etc." Other items, such as a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video cassettes will still need to be removed. Also, if you don't want someone else putting their grubby paws all over your smaller sized gadgets, be sure to pack appropriately.
"It’s important to remember, however, that our officers are trained to look for anomalies to help keep air travel safe, and if something needs a closer look, it will receive secondary screening. The key to avoiding bag searches is keeping the clutter down. The less clutter you have in your bag, the less likely it will be searched."

Looks like someone was desperate for a Pre. Too bad BlackBerry and iPhone still pwn you…
NBC Chicago is reporting that an elderly woman who "apparently couldn’t wait to get her Palm Pre" from a local Sprint store — and yeah, we’re pretty sure that’s not the case — decided to plow her car right through the entrance. Best of all, a security camera captured the whole incident. No one was hurt and the store will apparently be fixed in time for tomorrow’s big day, so if that puts your mind at ease, head on over after the break to witness, and possibly enjoy, all the mayhem.

I’m selling my Jawbone. Since I have cartilage piercings, it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world. I wuvs my Motorola H350 and I’m going to have to remain loyal to it.
Barely used Jawbone II Bluetooth Headset. I got it as part of a promotion when I bought my BlackBerry Curve 8900. My ear is huge and I have cartilage piercings so unfortunately, it’s not as comfy as my Motorola H350. The unit retails for $130, but since it’s been out on the market for awhile, I’m slashing the price by nearly half. I’m willing to negotiate as well…
