Also, Apple doubles down on one of its stores, the iPad 2 isn't exactly photogenic, and it seems like there's a world record for everything these days.

After using the Mac security software to snap a picture of the guy who stole his laptop, Mac user (best name ever, am I right?) took to Twitter to ask for help. It arrived in the form of his Twitter followers, who staked out the bar owned by the thief, and managed to recover the MacBook without incident. Twitter: It's the 21st century equivalent of forming a posse.

Apple's about to open a second retail store in Glendale, CA--in the mall right across from the company's  Glendale store, which was one of the first stores to open, back in 2001. Pretty soon there'll be an Apple Store on every corner--eat your heart out, Starbucks.
