Links for Friday April 9^th, 2010

• Instapaper Product Review: Instapaper is just simply amazing. I can't read long-form articles on the web without it.

• Mystery solved: Why time stands still at 9:42 on iPhone: Cool bit of Apple presentation trivia.

• I’m Abandoning iPhone Development.: Expect to see lots more articles like this as Apple continues to tighten the screws on the App Store. It's important to remember that Apple doesn't want all developers. But of course, John Siracusa nailed this whole thing.

• Apple Has Revolutionized How We Think About Ads, You Just Don’t Know It Yet.: iAd is clearly the biggest announcement from Apple's iPhone OS 4 event yesterday. Steve Jobs really understands advertising. So if he tells you that something is good, my advice is to sit up straight and pay attention.

• Masters Tournament: Love the comparison between Apple and Microsoft's financials over the years. I'd love to hear the entire hourlong interview with Bill Gates. (via Daring Fireball)

• Apple iPad Review: Okay, so Brian Lam's iPad review for Gizmodo is pretty good. A lot better than what I'm working on, anyway. (via Justin Blanton)

• Palm CEO puts his cards on the table: Great interview with Jon Rubinstein of Palm. Palm has had their share of struggles as of late, and there have been a lot of articles recently saying that Palm is done, but I still think that they have a chance, as an independent company to boot. However, if somebody like HTC did buy them, that might not be so bad — have you seen the Evo 4G? Wowza.

• So What Do You Do, Lisa Sugar, Editor-in-Chief of Sugar Inc.?: Nice interview with Lisa Sugar — I learned some bits of company history that I didn't know.

• YouTube - losing light (animated music video): Pretty cool music video, animated entirely on a Nintendo DSi. (via 4cr)
