These guys really get photo editing on the iPad. You can do a lot of things that you could do in iPhoto directly in here. It is by far the best photo editing application I have used on the iPad.

Financial results for 2Q 2011: busted the analysts expectations once again. PS- Should have noted that iPad2 sales were not up to scratch but when you have “the mother of all backlogs” to fill, putting some of that $66bn cash mountain to use helps. Preview app in Lion will act as Word, Excel, PowerPoint viewer: So now it becomes the jack of some more trades. . Gruber- iOS location storing is a bug, getting fixed in future iOS update : Fix this fast Cupertino as this could get messy quickly. Do believe this is an oversight though, not a Big Bro situ in any way.  (God damn apologist! Ed) Rumor- iPhone 5 Gets Tapered Design, Larger Screen, Gesture-Sensitive Home Button? : And it will drive you to work in the morning too.  . Rumours, ya gotta love ’em. Yum iMac Coffee Table an Innovative Form of Computer Recycling : This is a really cool example of practical recycling …… for five grand a pop.  (Thank god you didn’t say five grand a plop. Ed) Games, EA Sales Drop: Did everybody go for these instead of Easter eggs ? Simplenote & nvALT : Have used ‘em to write up these shownotes on Mac & iPad.
