By Best Stories of The Week Here are the best stories on Gizmodo this week. Enjoy! The New iPad The iPad 2 is here and we got all the details and a hands-on, including impressions, photos and videos. The iPad 2 is lighter, thinner, but more than that, it feels qualitatively different, from the casing right through to racing around bends in whatever racing game thrills you. More » Twenty Years After Rodney King, Nothing Goes Unseen Twenty years ago today, Rodney King was savagely beaten by a team of LAPD officers during a DUI arrest. The act itself was horrific-but affected only one man. What thundered across the country was, rather, amateur video footage of the act. In 1991, the act was an unspeakable sight. In 2011, it's unthinkable that we wouldn't see it. More » The Best Gadgets (So Far) February-bleh. Kind of an awful month, no? Frigid, lacking the youthful vigor of January, teasing you with the proximity of spring. So good riddance, Feb. But! The month brought changes to our mighty Bestmodo roster. Peep it below. More » Motorola Xoom Review: The Future of Tablets (Whether You Like It or Not) It's taken almost a year to get here. The first tablet to matter since the original iPad. The Xoom is the first real Android tablet, arriving ahead of the iPad 2 by a hair. More » Discovery Has Spent Almost a Year in Space If everything goes as programmed and there are no further delays, Discovery will be in space for almost an entire year! In fact, it will be only one day off the 365-day mark. More » For the Love of God, Why Does the iPad Suit Still Exist? Another year has passed, and another iPad has surfaced from the shadowy Cupertino mist. But you know what else has resurfaced? The iPad suit. Yep, Mohan's, the NYC tailoring outpost, is still offering to add an oversized "iPad pocket" to their suit coats, which is a perfectly good way to take the class out of that suit you paid hundreds of dollars for. More » Meet the Supermaterial That Could Change Gadgets Picture a metal that's so clever it can be blown into a mold like plastic materials, then think of the amazing gadgets that could be crafted from it-things that make Apple's unibody Macs look like child's play. More » Giant Underground Chamber Discovered On the Moon Back in 2009, the Japanese Space Agency JAXA announced moon hole deep enough to contain a small human base. Now, the Indian Space Research Organization has discovered a "giant underground chamber" near the Moon's equator, in the Oceanus Procellarum area. More » The Dekopon Is the Fruit of the Future What do you get when you combine a great taste and an awesome name into a fruit that hasn't even been around for 40 years? You get the Dekopon. And according to the L.A. Times' David Karp, it's the best tasting citrus fruit he's ever had (he claims to have tried over 1000 citrus varieties). More » 77 Upside Down Photos The world looks different upside down...and it's not always just that it looks upside down. Things look...different...sometimes even weightless. And 86 photos from this week's Shooting Challenge celebrate that phenomenon, without the head rush. More » The Internet Is Watching Charlie Sheen Implode If you haven't been in a deep coma for the past 48 hours, you're probably aware of this Charlie Sheen fellow. He's been saying the darndest things! He's (coked?) out of his mind! And we're all watching it live online. More » The Story of the Lonely Whale Will Break Your Heart Once upon a time, there was a whale called June. Or maybe her name is Margaret. Or Kate. We don't really know.

Like all arguments about art, it is a highly subjective one. And just as all other artists have phases, Gillard and Abbott are no exception. Each artistic period brings with it new ideas, new arguments, new policy. The question is, will the latest movements steal the heart of the average Australian art-lover? Proud to be unAustralian I am out of the closet and I feel a great freedom. No more will I deny the un-ness that dare not speak its name. I'm an unAustralian. Time for some nuance between the gay and the god-fearing There is a failure of ethical imagination, to utilise two mental muscles at the same time: the muscle of strong conviction and of compassion for all. Jesus was the master of this ethical exploit. It's 2am: Letter from Christchurch No running water, no fuel, no power, no showers and precious little help. This is Christchurch a week and a half after the quake. The Big Blur Theory Sheen and his Hollywood harem illuminate to me that as a culture we're quite partial to a spot of bullying when the opportunity arises.
