May 28, 8:15PM

May 28, 5:51PM
Many of today's tech companies and startups are still building their apps for iOS first, despite Android's growing market share. The problem stems from a lack of in-house talent, fewer Android-owning beta testers, technical hurdles, fragmentation issues, potential for revenue and more. And yet, there's this general perception that when it comes to the size and scope of the two competing app stores, Google Play and Apple's iTunes App Store are neck-and-neck. This is not the case.Adobe Acqui-hires Creative Consultancy Ideacodes, Names Co-Founders As Creative Directors Of Creative Cloud

May 28, 5:00PM
With today's update to its iPhone app The Scoop, The New York Times may have accomplished something that advertisers and publishers often boast about but rarely achieve — it may have found a genuinely useful way to incorporate sponsored content. And the update isn't just relevant to New Yorkers (who can actually take advantage of The Scoop's recommendations for the best restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and more), but also to observers of The Times as a business, suggesting new ways that the company could monetize its content on mobile. The Times said this is the first time it has featured advertising content outside of an actual ad unit in one of its mobile apps.Zendesk COO Zack Urlocker Departs The Company

Next up for the browser and the desktop OS which is built upon it seems to be in-app payments, according to developer and Chromium evangelist François Beaufort (via TheNextWeb). The change means the appification of the web continues, and could pave the way for a Chrome OS that looks a lot more like the kind of mobile platform people are used to.If at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
