Richard Devine, iMore


> Like the iOS version, oneSafe for Mac is iCloud enabled, meaning now you can sync all of your information across all of your devices. It's pretty much the missing link in the chain, for anyone who uses these apps seriously will likely need them on the desktop as well. The same 256-bit encryption is employed in the Mac version, as are all of the popular features from oneSafe for iOS.

Donald G. McNeil Jr., New York Times


> By sticking a little $8 lens to an iPhone with a piece of double-sided tape, a Canadian doctor has produced a microscope that works reasonably well at diagnosing intestinal worms in children.

> I made way too many mistakes for a guy that has been doing this for over three decades. Learn from my errors and ship awesome software. I’m trying to do the same.

<http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/05/13/france-culture-tax-apple-google-idINDEE94C0AQ20130513>
Nicholas Vinocur And Marine Pennetier, Reuters


> President Francois Hollande will decide by the end of July whether France should impose new taxes on technology giants like Apple and Google to finance cultural projects, a move that could feed into an anti-business image days after a spat with Yahoo!.

Maybe France should sweeten the deal by offering free programming on iTunes and Google Play stores in return?

**** Keeping In Touch With TouchFire ****
<http://tidbits.com/article/13761?rss>
Matt Neuburg, TidBITS


> The TouchFire isn’t a keyboard at all; it’s a piece of plastic that lies on top of your iPad, attached by some magnets, just covering the area of the standard virtual keyboard. The plastic is thin enough that your touches are felt by the iPad’s touchscreen, but thick enough to give your fingers a sense of position and feedback, as if you were typing on a very thin physical keyboard.
