There is a JavaScript bookmark-thingy, which you save as a favourite, and then it'll reveal all the spoilers.
Hopefully somebody will post it, or was there a thread about it yesterday?

if it reveals all spoilers then it defeats the purpose of it
It's supposed to be a toggle bookmarklet, so just zoom in on the spoiler before using it and toggle it off before zooming out.
I think there is one bookmarklet that enables click to view as well.
On another note has anyone in the UK ordered an iPad recently? Is there really still a 1-2 week lag time before dispatch?

Thanks for the responses. I'll look into that JavaScript thing. If not, I'll just copy and paste like butter stick said.

WTF!!!!!
Apple didn't wipe my first iPad replacement, I see it in the Apple warehouse using my iCloud.com login
It's not like they won't delete it once they refurbish it.
On your iDevice, you just slide to the left on top of the device to delete it, just like how you would delete anything else from a list.
Pretty sure I've posted this one before...(so long ago I can't recall exactly where I found it)
iPhone/iPod touch spoiler bookmarklet

Thanks bunches.
So, I've given up trying to find a case for my ipad, so I'm going with the skin + smart cover route. Not really worried about drop protection, but I do want scratch protection.
So, I ordered a black carbon fiber skin from icarbons.com and a skin for the smart cover (to match), and I think I'll just leave it at that. The skins are a bit pricey, but they look to be good quality.

I hate it on iPad. Seems completely unneccessary.
On phone it's great, although I don't like the new version half as much as the old version.
Thanks so much. Now I can just use full-screen dolphin HD browsing instead of having to open safari to use the bookmarklet.
Mint.

Use the web app and just click on the spoiler. I use the web app over the desktop version on my iPad everyday. Dark theme is superior and the embedded YouTube videos are great too.

Guys come on. There is totally that bookmarklet that accomplishes exactly what he wants.

I've been wanting to support instapaper - you know, 1 man versus the evil readability but I've had enough. Tired of saving articles and then going to read them and seeing extra pages at the end of the article full of links, YouTube, comments, etc.
This is the original article I was wanting to read:
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-04-05/thorsten-heins-into-rims-ring-of-fire
In instapaper it is all sorts of a mess. In readability it is nice and clean (although seems to be missing the very last enumerated list...).
I want to take the moral high road but I'm switching over to readability. I wouldn't mind safaris reading list but tweetbot seems to not support it, so it's immediately kicked out.

I'm looking for some longer USB cables than the ones Apple supplies. Is there anything special with regard to the power supply that I need to be aware of? I thought I read that the new iPad's included USB cable is somehow different than the ones that have been coming with iPhones/iPods for the last several years.
Nope, it's the same 30-pin dock connector that works with all the other Apple stuff. If you want quality ones that are longer, get them from Monoprice. What you've read is that the internal cable that connects the display to the motherboard is different, understandable since it's a much higher resolution display.
No, spend the extra $100 to get the 32GB version.
Unlike laptops, iOS devices don't have fans, mechanical hard drives, or hinges. Those are all moving parts that can break and are the most common reasons for warranty repairs.
Check the screen after you buy and as long as you don't have any dead pixels, you're good to go.

Thanks!
Do you (or anybody) have any specific recommendations on a 6-10 foot cable from Monoprice? I've had a few hits but several misses in terms of quality from that site...I'd rather order something based on a recommendation.

Pretty much.
Any issue that could go wrong which is supported by iPad will be noticed soon out of the box and you have a one year warranty that will cover it.
Weird question: Anyone notice any weird graphical glitches in the iPad Facebook app on the new iPads? I saw a thin vertical black line flicker in and out of existence at one point when the app popped open, and wasn't sure if it was the app or my screen. Haven't seen it since.

Although the new applecare+ includes two replacements which could come in handy if you drop your iPad or it gets ruined some other way.
me long-bewaited impressions of my first two weeks w/ the ipad, and my first week with a tablet of any sort:
CONS
-heavier than i thought it would be when you are frequently using it. definitely not made for one-handing but everyone knows that.
-tougher to get a truly comfortable holding position for each app. really depends on the UI and they vary drastically. if i'm bouncing around through different apps i'll definitely have lots of awkward figuring-out-how-best-to-hold-it moments.
-now i can join the annoying chorus of "more apps need retina!" Several apps look quite fugly on here, but thankfully uptake of retina seems to be getting pretty good -- it's not overly common that I have to bail on an app just because it's so ugly.
PROS
-Apple GAF was right hotness not really an issue. Have been mostly playing games and browsing web so maybe that would change with lots of video but haven't noticed heat problems at all.
-Gaming on here is AMAZING! No not the wannabe console stuff that gets a lot of the attention, but strategy and board gaming. It has now become a tradition for me to bust out the iPad at the end of game night for a quick game of Carcassonne -- previously we used to have issues finding a game to play when we only had 20-30m left but now there are tons of choices. I'll say that the put-the-ipad-in-the-middle-of-the-table-and-pretend-it's-a-board-game move isn't perfect (screen is still too small and hard to see information if you're at a bad angle so the ipad winds up moving around anyway) but it's quite functional. Pass & play (more for 2p games) is very very good.
-Web browsing and little productivity/helper apps are great. Even the stupid comcast dvr app is so much more convenient to bust out on a whim. I've just started scratching the surface in this area I feel (frankly most of my iPad time has been on gaming).
NEITHER
-Battery life is right about where I expected it to be. At first my experience was amazing, but that was before I downloaded all my apps and was getting like 60+ notifications per day and also doing more power-usery stuff. Let's just say I've bought an extra cable for work as well as a juice pack for long trips.
All in all a very good experience. Looking forward to continuing to explore new uses for this, such as a video player and the productivity stuff mentioned above, as well as maybe some social uses.

Owned a iPad 2 for around 6 months before selling it on eBay and funding my new iPad purchase.
The pro's far out weigh the extra weight. The screen is just essential now, I can't go back and look at my GF's iPad 2. You just get used to being able to read a web page such as GAF in vertical orientation without zooming in. Looks a bit of a mess on the iPad 2 tbh.
Weight is not a issue for me. And yes I've noticed this one gets a bit warmer, but it's a non-issue. I can easily see me keeping this iPad for a few years easily.

I'm doing this. After 2 weeks I had the 16GB half full with about 40 apps, a few books, with no videos or music.

I didn't even consider getting anything less than the 64GB version and I'm glad I did. It is easy to start filling it up when you have video, apps, games, music, and photos.
I'm picking up my replacement iPad tonight from the Apple Store. Battery issues continue to confound me, dropping 8-10% over night while on standby. Hoping this will solve the issue. I'll report back when I've had a chance to test.

I am not sure where this question goes but I am having some trouble with using my IPAD2 to read an e-book I downloaded to my Kindle Cloud account.
I can access it on my laptop (not a mac) but I can't seem to find it on the IPAD. I downloaded the Amazon and Kindle apps, signed into my account, but still don't see it.
HELP!

Downloaded all the apps I found that looked interesting and I've only used 1GB. I think the 16GB plenty for me. Hope that doesn't change going forward.
Should be a 'Cloud' option on the bottom left. Click that and you can download your books form the cloud.
The kindle app is amazing. Especially with the page sync feature. Too bad the page turning animation is slow as fuck.
In other news, the iPad is going great. It won't replace anything I have but it complements my iPhone, MB Air, desktop and Kindle well. The 5 things that I hold very close to me.
I know this is going to sound stupid but I just use my finger and hold my thumb under my index finger as if I was holding a pen in between (of zero thickness, of course). I find that this slight thumb bracing brace is enough for me to believe Im using a pen or marker with my index finger and I get enough fidelity on the ipad screen to keep doing this.
My handwriting looks and flows like my normal handwriting by doing this. and my little doodles look about the same as they would if i were using a medium tipped pen
maybe everyone does this but whenever I see videos of people using their fingers to write or sketch, it never shows the thumb in position, mimicking the pen grip. when I just use my index finger alone, it feels weird and my writing/ sketching never looks or feels right.
A new challenger has entered the ring:

Aka same Wacom stylus but now with a pen on the other end.
I have no real strong feelings towards it aside from the fact that it seems to suggest Wacom is still investing in doing iPads stylii and hopefully there will be a retina update for their app and maybe some experiments with Bluetooth 4.0 in the future

Lol, why the hell have I never thought of this? I feel like an idiot now trying to write with a single index finger.
