Zach Makes Gizmodo, Works from "home" on Friday- June 30, 2007 So today I worked from "home," where home can be loosely defined as number 113 in a nice long line in San Francisco. I enjoyed a nice day out with fellow members of the Apple faithful, and lest you think I totally blew off work, I got some nice progress made on our qa extension project; there's nothing like hacking from a lawnchair on the street.

There are two major changes in this update. First, administration groups let us designate separate product administrators with the ability to create and manage testcases for their products.
