If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - that's the message from the BlackBerry Live conference in Orlando, Florida this week. The company has announced BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 10.1 to extend security capabilities for iOS devices.
BES 10.1, which is now available for download, lets users manage BlackBerry smartphones as well as iOS and Android devices. But a previously announced feature, now in testing, will extend iOS support even more. "Secure Work Space" is a new function of BES 10.1 that provides a secure corporate connection for iOS and Android devices, without requiring any specific configuration changes to the device. Secure Work Space works using apps that BlackBerry plans to release through the App Store which includes secure e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, browsing and document editing.
BlackBerry is currently testing Secure Work Space in closed beta and plans to release the feature.

This Saturday at 8:00 p.m., BBC America will air the finale of Doctor Who Season 7 Part 2. The Who producing team is definitely selling the episode, tantalizingly titled ?The Name of the Doctor,? on the strength of its stunning plot revelations. Star Matt Smith says it?s a ?complete game changer.? Showrunner Steven Moffat promises ?surprises and questions that have never been revealed in the history of Who, including the Doctor?s greatest secret.?* But while we and a whole galaxy of Who-lovers are scrutinizing the hints, spinning out crazy theories, and counting the seconds until Saturday, a handful of lucky fans already know?thanks to a surprising screw-up by the BBC?s mail-order service.
After a number of fans on social media delightedly reported receiving their pre-ordered DVDs of the entire season this weekend, BBC Worldwide acknowledged that, due to a shipping error, a ?small number? of these DVDs were sent out three weeks early. The BBC and BBC America have gone into full damage-control mode, imploring fans with early DVDs not to post spoilers and even going so far as to promise a ?special video? featuring Smith and previous Doctor David Tennant if fans can keep the finale?s secrets off the Internet.
The BBC reaction strongly suggests that Moffat and Smith?s promises about the finale?the resolution of the Clara mystery, what it means for the Doctor, how this revelation will set up the events of the November?s hotly awaited 50th anniversary special?are not only hype. Most previous Doctor Who season finales haven?t exactly had big secrets fans could spoil. Sure, they could give away plot details, but no one is likely to be surprised if a Doctor Who season-ender involves an epic battle with a returning enemy from the classic series. Even the big twist at the end of Season 6??Doctor who???is really more of a new question than a revelation. (The only finale with a real shock was ?Journey?s End,? with its brutal Donna-Noble-memory-wipe.)
So the BBC?s panic/bribery response to the premature exposure of ?The Name of the Doctor??close on the heels of 50th Anniversary guest star John Hurt maybe saying way too much in (and seriously don?t click this unless you want to see a possibly HUGE SPOILER) an interview with the Eastern Telegraph ? seems to signal that Moffat has some pretty huge surprises coming our way. So if you?re a Doctor Who fan who hates getting spoiled? Stay off social media for the next six days. Somewhere in the world, there?s a fan who got that DVD who is not going to be able to resist. (Here, I?ll help: The only important thing on social media in the next week is this photo of Ryan Gosling directing Matt Smith on the set of the currently shooting film How to Catch a Monster.* Notice anything a little different about Smith? Can he really grow his signature 11th Doctor Hair back in time for the annual Doctor Who Christmas special, which typically shoots in late summer? I?m betting not. So either Smith isn't in the Christmas special, replaced by a new Doctor -- or else a heated competition is going on right now between the greatest wigmakers of London.
So?having not yet watched an advance copy of ?The Name of the Doctor? (and not even knowing as yet if one will be made available)?I?m going to make my prediction: Clara is the Doctor from the future. We?re getting a surprise regeneration this weekend. Count on it. You can check back here this weekend for either my groveling admission that I was wrong, or?much more likely?my vindication!
Correction, May 13, 2013: This article initially misquoted Steven Moffat as promising "surprises and secrets," not "surprises and questions." It also misstated the title of Ryan Gosling's upcoming movie?it is How to Catch a Monster, not How to Make a Monster.
Ever wondered where Nitto's legendary bike parts are born? This short documentary by SimWorks, a bicycle retail shop, gives us a glimpse inside the company's manufacturing facility in Japan.
Nitto has been the leader in bicycle components, both in terms of style and quality, for almost a century. The piece is narrated by Nitto's President, Akira Yoshikawa, as he explains the manufacturing industry in Japan and why Nitto has never ventured into carbon fiber bikes. It's all intercut with a healthy dose of factory machine porn. Nitto parts find their way onto your bike one way or another if you ride long enough, so pay attention, cause you're about to find out where good bicycles come from.

Two parents. Four hands. Zero rest.
A set of adorable, albeit shrieking, babies.
Two car seats. Double strollers. Two high chairs. Double the day care costs. Twice as many diapers and wipes. Two meltdowns.
Twice as many joyful moments. Double the hugs. Love, multiplied.
With parenthood and its ensuing exhaustion, sleep and quality time with family are the two things most moms tell the Sun they?d like this weekend.
Here, to help celebrate Mother?s Day, we share tales of three mothers with twins.

Six weeks is all Valerie Nurse had to prepare for motherhood.
Nurse and husband Scott wanted a newborn and opted for an open, private adoption.
After a detailed, ?invasive? application process, they met a woman carrying twins.
A short time later, the phone rang; chosen couple, they were.
With the birth mother?s contact information in hand, ?I felt like a little kid, like, calling her first boy. I had all my questions written down,? said Nurse, who works in public health.
Fast forward six weeks.
Two baby girls were born.
The couple named the twins Laura and Elizabeth, meeting them in hospital when they were 24 hours old.
Four days later, they took their daughters home to greet family and friends.
The entire process ?was like a miracle because it was literally the length of a pregnancy,? said Nurse, from Embrun.
The Nurses often deal with questions about much they paid for their children, or what about their ?real? mother?
?You learn to take it that people aren?t educated,? she said.
Nurse was schooled in fertility when she was just 14.
A doctor told Nurse she had premature ovarian failure and couldn?t bear children.
The girls turn two in August.
?I never dreamt of this,? she said, crying, ?and at 14, you?re too young to realize what being a mom is.?
Nurse?s own mother recently revealed the day they found out about the infertility, ?she went to her sister?s house and just cried. And she shared that with me after the fact that I was a mom ... ?cause she never wanted me to feel her pain,? said Nurse.
?That?s what moms are there for: To protect you. But I now have the joy of being a mom as well.?

Ambereen Rahim was once apprehensive about motherhood.
So much so that ?I would never hold other babies because I was afraid of dropping them,? Rahim said.
Now she?s regularly dropping knowledge on other parents.
?Having one baby changes your life. Having two turns your life upside down,? said Rahim, of Gloucester.
?You have to be on top of things all the time.?
Two-year-old twins Saniya and Faizan have morphed this petite federal public servant into a productivity machine.
Parenthood forces you to be organized, efficient, and willing to accept help, she said.
With husband Intiaz, they?ve been tag-teaming the twins when it comes to their morning routine, bed time, and meals.
?We pre-cook batches of stuff and we freeze it,? Rahim said.
?It?s funny, I don?t know how to relax anymore.?
Cooking, blogging, tackling laundry, and otherwise managing the household takes place after they put the kids to bed.
?When you do all that, there?s very little time as a couple,? she said.
Romance can entail sitting outside on the porch.
Thanks to family members willing to babysit, they still squeak out ?date night.?
?We have to make sure we don?t tire ourselves out,? said Rahim.
En route to the theatre once, she recalls, they considered blowing off the flick to sleep in the car.
The movie won out.
Nonetheless, ?I feel really proud to say I have kids, I have twins,? she said.
Rahim plans to book a few vacation days this summer, pull her children out of daycare, and just hang out.
She?s not one of those moms craving ?alone time? so naturally, for Mother?s Day, ?I want an outing with the kids,? she said.

Cori Pinault has always had a penchant for learning about living things, so no one was surprised when she pursued a career in science.
Producing living things, though, was never in her plan.
?I just couldn?t picture myself as a mom,? said Pinault, a biology and chemistry teacher who heads the science department at St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven.
Then she met Darren Hill on a blind date set up through friends.
Over time, ?I loved him so much,? said Pinault, chuckling, she realized she wanted to have his children.
Such sappiness was alarming.
?I?m not corny. I?m a scientist; very organized and linear,? she said.
Mitchell and Cassie, now five, were born two months premature.
Last year, Mitchell was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism, while Cassie struggles with controlling her temper.
Despite the challenges, ?there?s no better feeling than small arms around your neck, a tiny hand in yours, caressing baby soft cheeks, and the excitement you are greeted with when you pick them up after work,? said Pinault.
?I?m immensely proud of each milestone they reach, regardless of how small.?
For Mother?s Day, ?I really want the handmade cars from the kids ... that would be really cute,? she said.
Other than that, there isn?t much Pinault covets.
?We?re fortunate enough that we have everything we need.?
