Walt Mossberg – Apps Raise the iPad’s Aptitude for Real Work
Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, whose version of the company’s early history informed the plot of Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Network” and who still owns five percent of the company, is putting that stake to work. He just led a $6.5 million round of funding in online and mobile payment service Jumio. Saverin, who lives in Singapore, will also join the company’s board and work on its entrance into the Asian market.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
