Kaled Ali, TechnologyTell


> I do wish that Photoshop Elements provided a bit more guidance on the Expert section so you can learn to navigate it more easily, but either way, Adobe has made it as simple as you can get without sacrificing the powerful features of the software.

<http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/software/iwork-osx-2013.aspx>
Anthony Domanico, Laptop Magazine


> Apple's new iWork suite is no small upgrade; it's a full reimagining of what work looks like in the new era of tablets and smartphones. iWork is powerful enough for most uses; the new design is elegant and simple to use, and the new formatting sidebar puts all the tools you need on the screen when you need them. Plus, the fact that documents now look the same whether you're viewing them on Mac, iOS or the Web eliminates the frustrations typically found when working across platforms, and allows for easy collaboration via iWork for iCloud.

> This means you basically just choose what size screen you prefer, the 9.7-inch iPad Air or the 7.9-inch iPad Mini with Retina display, without compromising.

<http://www.techhive.com/article/2064511/dash-turns-dining-out-into-a-seamless-experience.html#tk.rss_all>
Caitlin McGarry, TechHive


> Dash is a new iOS app that wants to give you the ease of Seamless delivery without taking the fun out of a night on the town. It works almost exactly the way Seamless does: Store your credit card information in the app, and when you eat or drink at a venue that uses Dash, you can settle your bill straight from the app—tip calculations and all.

> Since the amount of spam I'm receiving appears to increase every day, I wanted to look a bit into how sensitive Mail.app is to letting spammers known I (accidentally) read their email.

> Turns out it is absolutely horrendous. I'm talking Outlook Express in 1995-bad.

Robert Sharl, Futurilla


> We're at a place now where it's possible to move relatively seamlessly between a large screen Mac desktop and a portable iOS experience; where I can start an email on the iPhone during a commute and pick it up at my desk, and where I can finish a Keynote presentation on my iMac and present it moments later through a web browser on a classroom PC.
