The iPad is a perfect fit for Times' newspaper-like layout, which looks more like a magazine in the iPad version.

Working with Wired publisher Conde Nast, Adobe built the app in Flash, but then they had to rewrite using Apple-approved Objective C. Adobe completed the new app and just got it approved for sale in the App Store. The app is a proof of concept for building a magazine app with the same tools Wired uses to make the ...

Until we can finally allow robots to craft everything via iPhone CAD/CAM apps, you'll have to get your fix of fake tombstones and dress-up robots online. Here's a roundup of some helpful tools -- maybe. Honestly, several are horrendous to use. Others are merely fugly. One frightened my hamster. Still, if you are looking for a way to express yourself on the cover of TIME magazine, this may be ...

Everyone is aquiring everyone on this spooky Halloween. Google bought JotSpot, now Condé Nast, the owners of Wired magazine, have bought Reddit. Similiar to Digg, Reddit is a website that lists what the popular news is online, by users voting, and submitting articles.
