Do you want your new  iPad  to have a soft, seductive voice? Do you want that voice to tell you what the weather will be in Copenhagen tomorrow? Do you want her to send e-mails to your lover for you? Apple, you see, is reportedly, allegedly, rumoredly  announcing a new iPad in March . Naturally, many speculate that this will be called the iPad 3, just as many speculated that the last year's  iPhone  would be the  iPhone 5 . That turned out to be the iPhone 4S.

Listeners can chat about the music while it's playing. (Credit: Facebook) The social network announced today the introduction of a " Listen With " button that lets users of music services such as Rdio and Spotify share the exact same song, at the same point in the song, via the music service. However, both parties will have to be registered users of the service. A chat sidebar spotlights current listening opportunities with a music note. To listen, users hover their cursor over the user's name and then click the "Listen With" button. The chat sidebar also allows listeners to discuss the music being played. Users will also have the ability to control who sees when they are listening to a song with a Facebook friend. "Only the people you've sh...
