Speaking of Sources...
Philip Elmer-DeWitt, on the story that Foxconn CEO Tery Gou leaked Apple’s upcoming “iTV” product:
What none of these reporters mentioned (or apparently bothered to consider) is that Gou — whose factories assemble 40% of the world’s electronic devices — is one of the industry’s most secretive executives. He is privy to the future product plans of the most valuable electronics brands — not just Apple, but also Sony, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and the rest. He is trusted by his business partners because he never leaks their secrets.

Work isn’t a place – it’s what you do.
And you might work on a lot of devices – a Mac, an iPhone, an iPad – in a lot of places. You might work on the road or maybe from home (with your Aeropress and clickity keyboard). And that makes it hard to securely use a shared drive, coordinate with clients and collaborate with your team.
WSJ: iCloud to Gain Obvious Features
Jessica E. Vascellaro at the WSJ:
The new features, expected to be announced at Apple’s world-wide developer conference beginning June 11, will allow iCloud users to share sets of photos with other iCloud users and to comment on them, these people said. Currently, users can only store one set of photos in iCloud through a feature called Photo Stream, which is designed to sync those photos to other Apple devices, not share them.

On ‘Going Paperless’
My pal David Sparks has a new book out, and it’s great.
In The MacSparky Field Guide to Going Paperless, David de-mystifies the process of going paperless, using Apple products as the core tools to doing so. He talks about apps and hardware that make the process as easy as it could be. This is vital, because if a new workflow isn’t easy, people won’t switch. Even as someone who already uses a Doxie Go scanner almost everyday (coupled with Evernote and other apps), I picked up some nice tips in this guide.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Adobe Working to Patch CS5 After All?

I’ll believe it when I see it.
Adobe: Upgrade to Remain Secure
Adobe released a security upgrade for Adobe Photoshop CS5 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh. This upgrade addresses vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious .TIF file must be opened in Photoshop CS5 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh by the user for an attacker to be able to exploit these vulnerabilities. Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities against Adobe Photoshop.
