Shelly Brisbin, Macworld


> Developers, designers, audio pros, or anyone who uses a large number of folders will welcome the ability to jump directly to a frequently used folder or file from within any application. Even better—you can do so without searching, or clicking through stacks of open Finder windows.

TJ Luoma, TUAW


> However, if you learn nothing else today, learn this: the Mobile Documents folder is not to be trifled with. Leave it alone. Don't move or rename any files or folders you find in there. You can probably safely copy files from there, but I wouldn't do anything more than that.

Ryan Faas, Cult Of Mac


> Although Apple has kept fairly quiet about it, the company has developed a business to business app distribution option that leverages the existing Volume Purchase Program (VPP) for businesses.

Apple has come a long way since web apps are all we need on the phone.

**** Thinking In Numbers By Daniel Tammet: Review ****
<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/scienceandnaturebookreviews/9479858/Thinking-in-Numbers-by-Daniel-Tammet-review.html>
Manjit Kumar, Telegraph


> <i>Thinking in Numbers</i> is a collection of 25 essays in which Tammet explores what he calls “the maths of life”. The book, he writes, “entertains pure possibilities”, immune to prior experience or expectation. “The fact that we have never read an endless book,” he writes, “or counted to infinity, or made contact with an extraterrestrial civilization should not prevent us from wondering: what if?”

Charles Simic, The New York Review Of Books


> The world is going to hell, but we poets have something to look forward to. We never got rich in the past and won’t see a dime in the future.

<http://www.publichouse.sg/categories/topstory/item/745-s377a-should-not-be-subject-to-ministerial-assurances>
Ng Jing Song, Publichouse.sg


> In the words of the trio of judges from the Court of Appeal: “The principle of access to justice calls for nothing less.” The quasi-charitable pronouncements of non-proactive enforcement do not even nick the surface of what is at stake.

> "The Commissioner of Charities' (COC) office had earlier issued a Restriction Order to the Board of City Harvest Church (CHC) to restrict CHC from paying the legal fees of the six accused persons and entering into transactions relating to payment of services to the suspended individuals and their related entities, without the approval of the COC."



**** Don’t Hold A Sword Over Our Heads ****
<http://berthahenson.wordpress.com/2012/08/22/dont-hold-a-sword-over-our-heads/>
Bertha Harian


> I am more perturbed that there are laws which the executive can pick and choose to chase after someone. Sure there is prosecutorial discretion – but I never heard anyone say, Don’t worry, go do your own thing. We’ll turn a blind eye, we assure you. It was in my view, the oddest parliamentary debate I have ever heard.

A law which we want to keep but "don't want to enforce" is a big joke.

> Indeed, it is time to stop cheering M Ravi from the sidelines and step up and lend a hand. Fighting for our rights is not one man’s job alone.
