Apple’s iPad 2 is finally available in stores and you can buy it more places than ever. AT&T, Verizon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target are among retailers now carrying the iPad 2. The tablet goes on sale at 5PM and Apple will be taking online orders beginning at 4AM. In other news, Google now lets you eliminate websites from showing up in search results. A link located under each description will let you block any site you want from ever appearing again. Google hopes the new feature will stop users from being bombarded by low-quality sites.
