Kirk Hiner, TechnologyTell


> The Zoom iQ5 is a mid-side stereo condenser mic that’s small enough to fit in your pocket. It attaches directly to the Lightning port on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, but because of the wide base of the unit, you may run into some fit issues with your case.

Michael Burns, Macworld UK


> Despite several glaring omissions, which hopefully will be addressed in version 2.0, it offers a useful mobile extension to a professional photography workflow. Those who have already purchased Lightroom as a standalone product are cut out of the loop however. Rather than take out a Creative Cloud subscription, third-party standalone apps seem more likely to receive their patronage.

Jeff Sommer, New York Times


> In his advisory business, he is aiming at a different group: rich people with portfolios of at least $25 million, who pay him for advice and other services. But he said the “If I Can” guide is “entirely eleemosynary” (or a charitable offering, if you don’t feel like running to your dictionary). “I hope some of the people who use it will become rich, but I don’t expect to be around when they are,” said Mr. Bernstein, 65.
