...Computing Became Fun As the world prepares for the release of the iPad, the young - who may have seen the company only as the colossus behind the iMac, iPod and iPhone family of products and the iTunes and App stores that service them - might be surprised to know how hard the life of an Apple lover once...
...Jobs saw the work of a young Briton called Jonathan Ive and asked for a meeting. Ive, underused and ignored for a year, turned up with a resignation letter tucked into the back pocket of his jeans. He left with instructions to unleash his talent.

During the iPad keynote, four of the most impressive (and in-depth) demos were content-creation apps: Brushes and the iWork trio. There is no doubt in my mind that some rendition of iLife will...
