Once again, it's a little surprising that there's a capability of the age-old Image Capture program that Apple hasn't yet built into iPhoto, but there it is.

More surprising was the number of women. There are never a lot (you inevitably hear someone joking about the lines for the men’s toilet and the lack of line for the women’s), but this year seemed worse than I remember.

As unlimited mobile data plans become a thing of the past for many wireless smartphone subscribers, developers will have to think more carefully about how efficiently their apps use network resources.

**** Holly Golightly, Before She Was Immortal <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/14/books/14book.html?partner=rss&emc=rss>
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Sam Wasson’s “Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.†is willing to take a fond and incisive look, if not Paramount’s self-importantly tough one. This alluring little book is devoted to the contradictions that pervade “Breakfast at Tiffany’sâ€: the contrivances that kept it so frothy, the weirdly backhanded feminist message (Holly was certainly free spirited) and the unusual place occupied by this sprite, her evening gown and her 5 a.m. Fifth Avenue Danish in the history of American film.
**** Merely Human? That’s So Yesterday <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/business/13sing.html?ref=science>
Ashlee Vance, New York Times
Some of Silicon Valley’s smartest and wealthiest people have embraced the Singularity. They believe that technology may be the only way to solve the world’s ills, while also allowing people to seize control of the evolutionary process. For those who haven’t noticed, the Valley’s most-celebrated company — Google — works daily on building a giant brain that harnesses the thinking power of humans in order to surpass the thinking power of humans.

John Lee, Dallas Morning News
Talk to the locals and they'll regale you with lip-smacking tales of their favorite places to eat. Instead of food snobbery, you'll find a proud focus on value. In fact, Singapore is a world capital of budget dining, and with English widely spoken, it's highly accessible to visitors.
