Remember your first pair of walkie-talkies? Remember how weird it was when you heard voices on the other end that were not your friends? Granted, it was only AM radio, or at its coolest, some fuzzy transmission from your local police station. But still, it was like secretly tapping into another world; you could hear them but they couldn’t hear you.
Apparently, the nation of Israel is having some very Fisher Price-style tech problems, because the iPad, the iPad, is causing a county-wide ruckus. Nati Shubert, some guy, explains why:
