This week, The Drill Down team (including occasional co-host TechMeme editor Lidija Davis) talk about employers asking prospective new hires for their Facebook (and other social) passwords and Facebook’s reaction to that. Also, we look at the issues and reactions that have emerged in the two weeks since the launch of Apple‘s new iPad.

But first, this week’s headlines… Apple to pay dividends, Kevin Rose to work for Google, Zynga buys OMGPOP, Facebook buys 750 patents from IBM, Nokia‘s Lumia 900 comes to AT&T, Obvtuse vs Svbtle, and Google shows you what you’ve been doing…on Google.

On Wednesday, Cartoon Network officially announced the arrival of Beware The Batman, a CG-animated show to air later this year.

Alongside the sad passing away of Batman: The Brave and The Bold, rumblings began to arise of a CG-animated Batman show coming to fill the animated Batman void that was left as a result of Brave and The Bold‘s cancellation. Rumors arose during the Brave and The Bold panel from San Diego Comic Con a couple of years ago; the news was out that the all ages Batman cartoon would be coming to an end and while some of the crew would be moving on to other projects, it was subtly announced that others would be working on a brand new, darker Batman series. In fact, in Brave and The Bold‘s finale episode, this talk was teased and mocked during Bat-Mite’s desire to see a darker take on the character. Rumors were confirmed when a short teaser trailer was released around the announcement of Cartoon Network and DC Entertainment’s DC Nation cartoon block on the network.

Back in January we found out about an amazing LEGO recreation of the eternally awesome horror-comedy, Shaun of the Dead.

At the time it was just a great fan-made item none of us could get our hands on, but as it turns out, owning your own LEGO Shaun of the Dead is not impossible…with a little help from you and you and I and you.

While visiting Conan O’Brien recently, star Simon Pegg let it be known that if fans show their support of making this a LEGO reality—to the tune of about 10,000 people—it could become available in the future.

Head below to find out where you can help and to see a video of Pegg on Conan.
