anyone know how to upgrade an ipad 2 to the new IOS 5 or 6?   I'm stuck in 4 and can't figure it out.

It's nice and light but for browsing websites I much prefer the ipad 4, the screen is much much more sharp.I have both btw.

Yes it is sad, but my mind starts to implode when I try to think of the few billion individually in an empathetic way.

Actually to update from 4 you need to use iTunes.

Was thinking about this last night. Have the new Kindle paper white with built-in light, but I despise the screen touch page-turning system. Also have the older Kindle with NO built-in light but a great page turning system via the buttons. I was fucking annoyed man. Lying between my £150 800 thread count Egyptian cotton duvet and sheets, thinking; Fuck My Life and this fucking Kindle!!

In honesty, it does give perspective when thinking about it.
