Interview With Jonathan Ive ★: The London Evening Standard:

Q: What are your goals when setting out to build a new product?

A: Our goals are very simple — to design and make better products. If we can’t make something that is better, we won’t do it.
Twitter Acquires Posterous ★: Not sure I see Twitter’s angle on this one, unless they see Tumblr as a serious competitive threat.
First Prize: Two Motorola Droid Xyboard Tablets ★: Second prize: three Motorola Droid Xyboard tablets.
Apple and Their Maps ★: Justin Miller of MapBox on the new maps Apple is using in iPhoto for iOS.
Apple to Shut Down iWork.com, Steering Users to iCloud ★: iWork.com always seemed a little silly because Apple never got around to making it work with the iWork Mac apps. They’ve come a long way in a few years, though — by this time next year I’d wager that most iWork users will be storing most of their active documents in iCloud.
