Lots of interesting happenings on the web lately. Here are a few of the stories on my radar right now:

• This is Dell’s Windows 8 tablet - Dell does indeed look to be making a Windows 8 tablet. interesting how little RAM is in that thing too. All in all, not a horrible looking device. but, can it stand up to the iPad?

• The other Facebook news - You might have heard of a small IPO, but Facebook (who recently purchased a photo sharing app called Instagram) also released a photo sharing app called Facebook Camera.

• Canada’s Garage Sale Advisory - Heard of this? Neither have I. The Canadian Government recently released an advisory to remind us hat safety is more important than profits.

• Rogers customer gets $1,500 refund - The ever-helpful Ellen Roseman again helps a customer out of a tight bind with Rogers this time. It’s worthwhile to understand some of the options available when facing these kinds of high bills.

• Untethered 5.1.1 Jailbreak Released - For all you iOS users out there - a new jailbreak tool has been released that supports the newest Apple iOS version 5.1.1. Get the tool now for your operating system: Windows, Mac, Linux.

• SpaceX is launched and successfully reaches orbit - The privately funded SpaceX Dragon was launched and should dock with the International Space Station shortly. This is a big start to spaceflight operations not entirely controlled by NASA.
