01 Facebook ad revenues are up - but is the trajectory sustainable?
Greenlight Facebook has confounded critics who thought it would be
incapable of making money from the rapid growth of mobile device usage.
Not only has it revealed a strong performance in Q4 with revenues up
40%, its mobile ad sales have more than doubled on the previous quarter
to total $306m, to account for 23% of the Social Network's overall ad
revenues.

02 REVIEW: Notabli for parents in the digital age
Kali Hilke, from Small Dog Electronics writes :
Being a parent in the digital age is wild. I mean, I can
take thousands of photos without even a thought of film processing
costs, my toddler can watch videos of himself immediately after
we shoot them, and virtually everything in existence can be found
on the internet with just the click of a button -- or swipe of
a finger. (I am fascinated by what all of this instant access and
feedback means for a developing kid's brain, but I digress ... )

05 Remix your iBooks with Book Creator for iPad
Book Creator 2.4 has revolutionised digital publishing and has

Book Creator shifts iPad use from consumption to creation by providing
simple tools that let anyone publish their work. From 5-year-olds to
octogenarians, kindergarteners to professionals, Book Creator is simple
to use, yet versatile, allowing creation to take the stage and
complicated ePub formatting the backseat.

13 Quotes: Cezanne, Paine
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
--Paul Cezanne
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strenght
from distress, and grow brave by reflection.
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink,
but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct,
will pursue his principles unto death.
--Thomas Paine
