The keyboardless Office: a review of iWork for iPad

http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2010/04/iwork-for-ipad-clever-subtitle-goes-here.ars/4

So while iWork is usable on Apple’s new "magical" device, it probably won't cut it for serious users. If you need to make an on-the-fly change to a document or presentation, you might lose some formatting or suffer some other unexpected quirks. What Apple calls file sharing, I call a pain, and the inability to print just magnifies things.

Want to Know the Difference Between a CTO and a VP Engineering?

http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2010/04/19/want-to-know-the-difference-between-a-cto-and-a-vp-engineering/

Your deepest thinkers on technology architecture are seldom good team leaders.  They often aren’t great at planning development work.  The best technologists often aren’t amazing people managers.  Sometimes they are introverts.

In fact, it my experience the best technologists are akin to artists.  They’re highly creative.  They’re sometimes moody.  They work on their own schedule and are often hard to manage.

SproutCore @ JSConf: SeedJS, great features, amazing demos

http://ajaxian.com/archives/sproutcore-2010

SproutCore has added really nice touch support natively into the framework. The guys showed the sample apps running on an iPad. They have done a lot of work here. For example, the physics for bouncing when you scroll, the list picker does the right UI when rotating to portrait mode.
