So Photoshop CS5, what's in it for me? →
I recently posed the question if any other web/ux designers were a bit underwhelmed by CS5’s feature list.  While I still wouldn’t file most of these as major features for web/ux designers, it’s a good list of niceties for designers all around.

iPad Springboard Breaks Spatiality →
The Dock is also an offender since it centers to your screen and shrinks and grows with every application you launch/quit.
