> iTunes 11 introduces a whole set of new views and gets rid of most of what was available in previous versions. With iTunes 10, you could view your content in four ways: List view, Album List view, Grid view, and Cover Flow view. (Note that these were the views for music; some types of content, such as apps, didn’t offer all these options.) In the new version, all four of those views are more or less gone. Here’s a look at the different views iTunes 11 offers.

> Truly, the only way to get around the privacy problems inherent in advertising-supported social networks is to pay for services that we value. It's amazing what power we gain in becoming paying customers instead of the product being sold.

**** Dropbox: The Linchpin ****

John Gruber, Daring Fireball


> The scary part though, is that one recurrent theme I see in nearly every single “how I write on the iPad” story is Dropbox. It’s the linchpin in the workflow. Scary, because Dropbox is outside Apple’s control. Scary, because if not for Dropbox, many of these people would not be using their iPads as much as they are. Scary, because Apple’s iCloud falls short of Dropbox.

> In the decade since my sister and I left South Texas and adopted the palates that come with our respective coastal cities, San Francisco and New York, meals for my family — and, I discovered, many others like ours — have become a source of tension, a stark reminder of the generational red food-blue food divide.
