Important Stories and More from Ziff Davis     By Dan Costa    June 1, 2011

The 10 Best Free iPad Games We caught some flack in the comments section for including some trial game versions in this story. And to these commenters, let me just say, please relax. The iPad is still primarily a casual gaming platform, a few free levels of Pro Zombie Soccer is all many users need. Regardless, if you have an iPad download these games today. They are all winners.     ADVERTISEMENT Scary Spying Software Tested and Reviewed I have some reservations about PCMag's review of Webware, which won an Editors' Choice award. It is an amazing product,without doubt. Install this on a PC and you can track everything that happens it and it is pretty much impossible to detect. For monitoring a child's actions online, there is nothing more comprehensive. Unfortunately, I fear a lot of less noble applications will be pursued by jealous boyfriends, nosey neighbors, over-zealous I.T. managers, and so on. Check out the review and see if it gives you the creeps, too. WHO Finds Tentative Link Between Cell Phones and Cancer This week you will hear a lot about the World Health Organization announcing there could be a link between cell phones and cancer. At this point, there are as many studies saying there is no link as those saying there is a link. The bottom line seems to be there is no reason to panic, but that the issue warrants more study. Unsatisfying, to be sure, but for now we will have to live with the ambiguity. And maybe just text a little more.PCMag's Mark Hachman has the details. Hands On with Lenovo's MeeGo netbook The unfortunate thing about MeeGo, Intel's Linux-based operating system is that for the last few years you have had to go shows likeComputex in Taiwan to see it running. PCMag sent Cisco Cheng to do just that and he got some time with MeeGo running on a Lenovo IdeaPad S100. There is no word on when--or if--MeeGo-powered systems could go on sale on the U.S. But if Lenovo could get the price point down under $200 they might give Tablets a run for their money. HP recalls another 162,000 notebook batteries Another year, another massive battery recall. It has happened to Dell, it has happened to Sony, this timeit is HP's turn to recall a massive number of lithium ion batteries for fear their will start a fire. This recall concerns systems sold in 2007 and 2008. Not to be confused with other HP recalls, in October 2005, April 2006, October 2008, May 2009, October 2009, and May of 2010. Huh. This is just a suggestion, but maybe it is time for HP to find another vendor to make its batteries? How iOS 4 Encryption was Cracked, and How to Protect Your iPhone Longer passwords are stronger passwords. Case in point. Turns out iOS encryption uses a key derived from just a 4-digit passcode, meaning there are only about 10,000 possible combinations. This leaves it vulnerable to a brute force attack. Again, unless you have the government after you, you probably shouldn't be too worried about this kind of attack. Nonetheless, I expect future versions of the OS to be much harder to attack. Go to Geek.com for more details. Will Apple Redefine the Cloud? Apple will make some big announcements next week and in an unusual move it is giving us details in advance. One of the announcements will be iCloud, a service that could combine the productivity features of MobileMe with a subscription-based iTunes. Google and Amazon have recently launched similar cloud services, but Apple has a big advantage: about 200 million credit cards accounts. Lance Ulanoff has the low-down on just how revolutionary iCloud could be. SUBSCRIBE TO PC MAGAZINE DIGITAL TODAY!
