Even if Steve Jobs doesn’t want Flash on his App Store, he can’t do anything about digital versions of magazines built using InDesign, it seems. Because in case you don’t know, that’s how Adobe together with Condè Naste created the first Wired app for iPad. And today Adobe has made things clear, and introduced their own Digital Technology Viewer software, which enables developers to create digital version of magazines using, indeed, InDesign.
Steve Jobs: “We are not allowing apps that create their own desktops”
The iPad App Store is going pretty well, with 8000 apps already accepted and developers quite happy with the sales results. But what about an application that’s been approved and then pulled from the App Store for some strange reason? That’s what happened to My Frame, and that’s why the developers decided to email Steve Jobs and ask.

Take Control Of Your Google Account with G-Whizz for iPad (and iPhone)
If you’re following me on Twitter, you may’ve noticed that last week I decided to start moving my workflow to the cloud, taking advantage of all the services Google has to offer. Up until 5 days ago I was a proud user of Gmail and Google Reader, but I never really considered using all those other apps such as Docs, Buzz and Talk. Not to mention Location services, Calendar and Tasks.
First Look: Netvibes for iPad
I don’t know how many people are still using Netvibes, but I’ve always been interested in trying out the service. And it turns out that maybe I’ll be able to do it this week, when the company will launch a first beta of their iPad optimized website.

Former Apple Exec Warns About Ballmer’s “Distortion Field”
Jean-Louis Gassée is a former Apple exec and BeOS founder, and he’s warning us about Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer distortion field.
As you can read on Monday Note:
“Microsoft shareholders ought to worry about Steve Ballmer’s own distortion, and about the self-inflicted effects of such a strong field,” Gassée writes today. “We all remember Vista, it was a godsend for Apple. Did Ballmer acknowledge that there were problems? What about the Xbox 360 reliability nightmare? The apologies were left to underlings.”
Seems like everybody hates Ballmer these days. Remember when he was rumored to get on stage at the WWDC and introduce developer tools for iPhone OS? Good times.

Leaked Intel Roadmap Reveals 2.8GHz Core i7 Processors, New Macbooks Later This Year?
A leaked Intel roadmap has surfaced on Engadget, and it turns out that the company will release a speed bumped Core i7 processor later this year. As Macrumors reports:
“The upcoming Core i7-640M will run at a base frequency of 2.8GHz with “turbo boost” speeds up to 3.46GHz. This new processor draws the same power as the current MacBook Pro processors so should be a natural upgrade for Apple.”
Indeed it’s very likely that Apple will implement these new processors in the new Macbooks sometime this fall or next year, but you can bet that the next Macbook line won’t be just about speed bumping. Also, we don’t think we’ll be hearing anything about desktop computers at the upcoming WWDC. Remember, it’s about the iPhone OS platform.
