Lascaux also announced it has raised $600,000 in seed funding from Polaris Venture Partners, Betaworks and Allen & Company, bringing its total to $700,000 raised so far.

After Siri, the Apple iPad 2’s “Smart Cover" has been found to pose a potential threat to the security of the popular tablet computer, an Apple enthusiast site reported.
The security flaw allows anyone with a “Smart Cover" to bypass even a password-protected iPad 2, 9to5mac.com said in a blog post. “Now, a real iOS security flaw has emerged, and anyone with a Smart Cover can break into your ‘password-protected’ iPad 2. This issue occurs in iOS 5, but we’re hearing uncorroborated reports of it also working in earlier versions of iOS 4.3," it said.
The discovery was publicized days after it was bared that Siri, the personal assistant in Apple’s new iPhone 4S, can allow access to iPhone functions even if the iPhone is locked. However, 9to5mac.com said the problem with Siri was more of an indented feature since the iPhone 4S’ user settings can prevent Siri from giving access to a locked iPhone. The site said users can recreate the scenario with the following steps: ‘Misleading’ Apple statement.
Websites of the future ‘will look like newspapers and magazines’, says Flipboard founder. “Interestingly enough the solution has been right under our noses for decades – it’s print: magazines, newspapers,” he explained.
“This is how this content [a photo of a stylish Jaguar he showed on stage in his talk] wants to be displayed online – beautiful photo taking the prominent role in the viewing, surrounded by beautiful typography and pieces of text in right place to create a sense of rhythm and a story.” He went onto to say: “I believe the future of the web really is going to be more like print – not exactly obviously going to be differences – its going to be more interactive, But increasingly I hope we will a future of the web which puts content first like we do at Flipboard.” McCue, talking at the Web 2.0 Summit, which this year is centred around the theme of data, urged developers and all websites owners to think more like newspapers and magazines about how to display their site and to ‘ignore the data’ from time to time.

A New Frontier for Books. "We call them 'smart books,' just to differentiate it a little bit," is how Matt MacInnis replied when I told him it didn't feel right to call his latest output a "book.
" MacInnis is founder and CEO of a San Francisco-based company called Inkling, which works with publishers to port books to the iPad. The majority of the titles the company has produced in the short two years since its inception are text books—but again "books" is certainly not the right word for them. They are interactive, compelling, engaging, and socially connected packages of content for the iPad. The latest creation, The Professional Chef, 9th Edition, which arrived on Inkling's virtual book shelves today, is a reference book used by the Culinary Institute of America and other chef training programs.
