If so, stop it. Plus, the PR quote of the day; a Pennsylvania photog refuses to take pictures of ‘ugly people,’, more.{/%CAPTION%} {%BODYCOPY%}Call me old-fashion, but the idea of using my iPad in the bathroom just doesn’t appeal to me. That’s not the case for 35 percent of tablet owners recently surveyed about where they use the device. Meanwhile, 30 percent use tablets at restaurant, 60 percent take them on vacation,, 78 percent use them in bed. The alleged breakup of Will Smith, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith may have resulted in the PR quote of the day. TMZ called Pinkett Smith’s rep Karynne Tencer, who said: "What? In Touch said that? I know nothing about this ... Lord. I'm going back to bed." XXX VIDEO: Not only is it not NSFW, it’s probably in the best interests of company to be in the know on this. Are you still puzzled by Google Chrome? Maybe this will help. (via Creativity) If puzzles aren’t really your thing, Condé Nast has a game of phone-tag you might enjoy. In the September issue of its Glamour magazine, the publisher is hoping readers will interact with different logos, codes embedded in its pages using their smartphone devices, giving readers additional content, exclusives. After Missouri passed its “Facebook law,” which makes it illegal for teachers to contact students via social media, one educator is suing, claiming the decree technically prohibits her from contacting her own child. Four high school girls in in Pennsylvania are also having some trouble with Facebook, but it appears to be of their own doing. A photographer cancelled senior portrait sessions with each of the girls after discovering nasty comments on the girls’ profiles, saying she didn’t want to photograph “ugly people.” Even America’s sweetheart Katie Couric is getting the social media cold-shoulder after the reveal of her upcoming new talk show, simply titled “Katie”. Read some of the backlash here. My iPhone 4 is bigger than your iPhone 4. Just prior to the expected launch of Apple’s iPhone 5 in late September, an unidentified Asian supplier has begun manufacturing a cheaper, smaller 8 GB version. Speaking of small, now that’s a classic(al) mini-skirt. The 8 GB flash drive in that iPhone might be tiny, but its got nothing on what concert pianist Yuja Wang wore to her Hollywood Bowl performance this weekend, where critics were outraged over the inappropriateness of her attire. What’s to criticize? No, seriously—there’s nothing there. Critics aren’t the only ones outraged today. Toucan Sam just poured a Mayan group one big bowl of quit-using-our-logo. The Mayan Archaeology Initiative says that while similar to the Kellogg brand mascot, its “is based upon a realistic toucan native to Mesoamerica, while Toucan Sam is a cartoon character with the coloring of Froot Loops.” And finally, not everyone is taking threats seriously. Case in point: David Letterman. After Jay Leno a jihadist Website called for an attack against him, the funnyman returned to his late-night hosting duties with an inspired monologue as only he could. Watch.
