iPad 101: No bottle opener? No problem<!--CONTENT START--><p><img alt="iPad bottle opener" data-mep="5024" src="

made the rounds in May of 2012, but it's worth reviving for a holiday weekend filled with barbecues, beer -- and probably a few missing bottle openers. According to
Twitter's @EvaGiselle (and technique confirmed/photo thanks to
TechHive's Susie Ochs), you can indeed pop the top on a frosty bottle of suds using nothing more than your bare hands and an iPad charger.</p>
<p>Although
CNET originally ran into some troubles (cracked adapters) with this approach,
the Huffington Post was able to use it with ease given a little bit of care and finesse. Needless to say, if you break your adapter using it in a manner for which it was not designed, good luck getting it replaced at the Apple Store on Tuesday. (That's why the more expensive MagSafe laptop adapters are completely off-limits.)</p>
<p>Even though
Mophie's original Bevy bottle opener/iPod shuffle case is no longer sold, there are
plenty of modern-day options to choose from, including the
Opena case for both iPhone 4 and 5 models. Enjoy the weekend, and remember to charge responsibly -- always designate a sober friend to keep track of the iPads.</p><p style="padding:5px;clear:both;">
