Facebook Inc said on Tuesday it now has 1 million active advertisers globally who used the platform in the last 28 days, a milestone for the company that is seeking to revive its revenue growth.
That is just a mind-boggling number of active advertisers.
I love this song.
This is funny.
Adobe Systems Inc, which makes the Photoshop and Acrobat software, reported a higher-than-expected adjusted quarterly profit as demand rose for the subscription-based version of its flagship software package.
Great news for Adobe. It seems clear they made the right decision going with Creative Cloud, even though not all users are behind it.
These are huge awards in the music industry.
The story of the Pippin reads like a geekier, technological version of a Greek tragedy. It has its heroes and its villains. There’s a strange artifact with supposedly untold magical powers. And like all good tragedies, it’s a story filled with its fair share of hubris, with characters who were destined to fail almost before they even began.
I remember this.
Please, please Wordpress don’t kill Poster.
Oopsie.
Whenever I see “Presented by Samsung Galaxy S4” I have to wonder. I don’t remember Josh ever being so brutal—some might say unfair—on an Apple product that is clearly not finished. And you know, it’s not like Samsung hasn’t pulled dirty tricks in its campaigns before.
If you use Messages or iChat, you probably know that searching messages to find important info from past chats can be frustrating. Perhaps you couldn’t find what you were looking for, or your Mac slowed down so much that you gave up.
Chatology makes it easy.
I’ve been testing this for the past few weeks and it really is easy to use. Finding messages couldn’t be easier.
Invited over to Hong Kong by a young industrialist, he brought along a small entourage, including photographer Christopher Makos, who documented Warhol’s journey to Beijing, Tianamen Square, and the Great Wall.
It’s amazing all the little extras you can hear in the isolated track.
I do this for real every day.
If there was any doubt at all how pathetic Forbes has become, just take a look at the latest bit of drivel posted to the Web site.
Just bought tickets for this. My son and I are going. Megadeth, Godsmack, Black Label Society and many others will be playing over two days.
Like Peter Kafka said on AllThingsD, these little tidbits will have no bearing on the verdict, but I find them interesting.
Matt Drance on iOS 7:
Now the hardware has caught up, and the Apple design team has a new leader. We don’t need the deception of “photorealism” anymore. Despite the loss of these tricks, iOS 7 feels more real. The parallax effect conveys an entire living world under that glass, not just abstract pictures and icons. This is reinforced by the launch and quit animations: your eye never loses sight of where you’re going, or where you came from.
John Moltz with a very important distinction in my “Don’t worry about iOS 7” article from earlier today.
I really like the new Mac Pro and since I use mostly external rack units and other gear, the lack of expansion slots is fine with me. Many studios won’t be upgrading right away, and when they do, there will be a lot more gear that supports Thunderbolt and other I/O options. Peter Kirn has a nice look at what the audio industry thinks of the Mac Pro.
Great article by Darby Lines, a.k.a. The Angry Drunk.

Judging from my inbox, Twitter and Messages, people are losing their minds over iOS 7 and some of the changes Apple introduced at WWDC last week. Here is my advice to you—sit back, take a deep breath and relax.
If anyone asks you what Apple is about, show them this video.
Ben Bajarin:
The fallacy most make when critiquing Apple’s service challenge is to believe that Apple needs to out-innovate competing services. The truth is, all they need to do is out-integrate them.
Integration is a huge part of Apple’s advantage, but it’s services still need to offer what users want. For instance, I was impressed with the OS X Maps demo where you can look up an address and send it to your iPhone. That type of integration will win people over. However, you still have people that use Dropbox because they feel it’s better than iCloud.
This looks cool. You can send the photos to be printed and delivered to someone or you can pick them up yourself at Walgreens, CVS, Target or Duane Reade. Of course, you can also email them.
Tom Witkin built a beautiful app in Poster and I’m really happy for him. Poster is an app that I’ve used and tested since it first came out, and it’s still my favorite. However, I worry that the folks at Wordpress will ruin it. They shouldn’t try to incorporate what Tom built into the official Wordpress app, they should throw theirs away and make Poster the new official app.
If you’re interesting in mixing, you should take a look at these tips.
Every monday should start off with a good does of humor and sarcasm about the latest rumors. I enjoyed this article by Chris Rawson.
If you had any questions on what data Apple may provide to authorities, this should answer them for you.
Clearly I need to stay here.
