'We are living in the world Adobe Photoshop first teased 34 years ago—but it is no longer defined by the enterprise software.' Nice one on the past, present, and future of Photoshop by Caroline Mimbs Nyce theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Apple has apologized for the iPad commercial adage.com/article/digita…

Apple’s new iPad commercial depicts a range of cherished objects—musical instruments, paint, a sculpture—being pulverized by a hydraulic press. Damon Beres and Charlie Warzel ask: What was the company thinking? theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

“Stop wasting time reading” really is the whole thing isn’t it
