Yellow Lemon Software has updated FolderGlance (http://www.scsc.no/products/folderglance/), a utility for browsing files and folders directly from the Finder’s contextual menus, to version 2.6.6. The new version adds the ability to create new files to the root context menu, as well as in folders you browse to.

FolderGlance 2.6.6 requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later. It costs US$20, though version 2.6.6 is a free update for users upgrading from version 2.6 or later.

You can now use your iPhone or iPod touch to “pay for lattes, pastries and other items at more than 1,000 Starbucks locations,” reports “Computerworld” (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/348055/Starbucks_Tries_Mobile_Payments?source=rss_news).

In these select stores, you can pay for your coffee using just the Starbucks Card Mobile app on your iPhone or iPod touch. Enter your card number and your device will display a barcode you can use the same way as your Starbucks Card to make purchases.

Palm has started handing out “golden handcuffs” to the key executives who’ve not already jumped ship, in what could be the run up to an acquisition announcement, reports “The Register” (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/19/palm_handcuffs/).

One key executive who’s already left is Michael Abbott — the man credited, in large part, with creating WebOS, the article adds. His last day will be next week, as explained in a Securities & Exchange Commission filing from Palm.
