Dow Jones & Co. won’t renew its partnership with AllThingsD, the technology news website that rose to prominence covering the players of the high-tech industry and reviewing their products.
As part of the separation, announced Thursday by Dow Jones editor-in-chief and Wall Street Journal managing editor Gerard Baker, longtime Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg will leave the paper.
Wow.
There are so many good pieces in this story. You just have to read the whole thing.
Updated with all the iOS 7 trimmings. I downloaded and and it works great.
Here are a few more tips and tricks for the new iOS.
Speak of busy, Rene Ritchie wrote almost 14,000 words on iOS 7.
Federico Viticci and Chris Herbert have been busy. Much respect.
The major changes in iOS 7 have been written about for a few months, but Dave Hamilton focused his attention on some lesser known settings that could be helpful to you.
I don’t think there is anyone more qualified to do this type of high-end technical review.
Two things that I thought were particularly interesting in John’s review: the part about innovation and the section on 64-bit. Definitely worth a read.
It’s available from Software Update on your iPhone.
Screens allows you to control your computer remotely from your iOS device. I’ve been using this app since it first came out and it just keeps getting better.
If you know your Van Halen songs, you’ll like this.
Shortly after Apple’s iPhone event ended on September 10, I walked into a room to speak with Apple executives about the new devices. During that meeting, I was also given a green iPhone 5c and a gold iPhone 5s to review, both running iOS 7—I’ve been using those two phones for the last week.
Great looking new app from David Barnard.
This guy has some good friends.
This is so funny. And all of it is absolutely true.
Some talented guys.
Apple today announced that iPhone 5s, the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world and iPhone 5c, the most colorful iPhone yet, will be available to customers on Friday, September 20 at 8:00 a.m. local time at Apple retail stores and at 12:01 a.m. PDT at the Apple Online Store. iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will be available in the US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK.
If you need to do anything with PDFs, you need PDFpen. You can add a signature, make changes, correct typos–and that’s only the beginning.
Got a scanned document? PDFpen includes OCR so you can convert that scan into text that can be searched, copied, and corrected. Concerned about sharing sensitive info such as tax ID numbers? PDFpen can perform redaction, removing the stuff you want to keep private. You can even export your PDFs to Microsoft Word format for sharing or editing.
Buy PDFpen for $60 in the Mac App Store or directly from Smile. If you need advanced features, such as auto form creation or document permission settings, get PDFpenPro. Find out more.
Interesting article from Ross Rubin on how focusing can help a company more than throwing features into your product.
John Gruber:
One interesting note: the 5C and 5S have a price overlap at $199. At that price, you can get either a 32 GB 5C or a 16 GB 5S. For those who don’t care about technical specs, I think the $199 5C is going to win.
I agree with John on this. Generally, I feel the people that would have purchased a new iPhone anyway will get the 5s, but at this price point, you may see some people switch for the colors.
Very cool.
