The new Adobe Slate app is available for free and joins the similar Voice app Adobe launched last May. Where Adobe Voice focused on using the iPad and later the iPhone for story telling with the spokenword backed by visual elements, the new Adobe Slate app pairs text with fluid and customizable attractive layouts that look great whether you’re a designer or not.

I would like to tell you a story about one of our experiments that led to a discovery of iPhone 6 A8 chip being capable of playing back Smart-TV’s 4K video. By taking action quickly and pitching this story to the right people — the results helped our app earn $30,000 in a single week.
I use the same 2-step verification procedure when logging in to every online account:
1. Forget password.

The self-serve kiosk is located at the university and holds a dozen iPads that students and locals can checkout using their Free Library of Philadelphia card or Drexel student ID.
iOS challenge:
1. Position a folder at the bottom-right corner of your home screen.
2. Move an app from another page into that folder.

Me: "This is the old Mac. I want to see the new Mac with that fancy new trackpad."
Apple guy: "What you mean? That is the new Mac."
Me (somewhat condescendingly): "No. This one is clicking I want to try the new one that doesn't have the physical clicker."
Apple guy: "That's it. Push harder and you'll get a second click. That didn't happen with the old Mac."
Me: Click-Click. Blush.
I think it is pretty safe to predict Force Touch will be coming to the Magic Trackpad. What's your guess for the Magic Mouse?
Balancing the right thing to do by society and his employees with the bottom line is the burden Cook bears. His conscience and convictions will have to guide him as he does business with nations where who he is– and who many of his customers are– are deemed illegal. I can only hope that he gets the opportunity behind the scenes to push those foreign leaders and their governments to treat all of their citizens with fairness, dignity and respect. But branding Cook a hypocrite on this score strikes me as rather facile.
Any aspiring entrepreneur will enjoy the fact that many of his greatest accomplishments, from the growth of Pixar to his successful re-entry at Apple, were helped not just by luck and a certain Midas touch, but also by good timing and relentless hard work. That Apple’s co-founder was able to smooth out a prickly personality makes his rise all the more noteworthy. “Becoming Steve Jobs” does not absolve the protagonist of his foibles, but shows that his accomplishments were indeed legion.
