by Marco Arment, Marco.org

**** The App Store Needs A Genius Feature, ASAP <http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/13/the-app-store-needs-a-genius-feature-asap/>
by MG Siegler, TechCrunch
Apple needs to make sure its ecosystem is enticing for the small developers to work in. And thatâs getting to be a problem with so many apps now in the store, and with so many big name development houses now making apps. I think a Genius app recommendation feature would go a long way to help this.

**** A (Radical) Way To Fix Suburban Sprawl <http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1904187,00.html>
