Charles Arthur, The Guardian


> The UK court of appeal has reprimanded Apple over the wording of the statement on its website acknowledging that Samsung did not infringe the iPad tablet's registered design, and ordered it to put an altered statement on its homepage – rather than tucked away in a linked page – until 14 December.

Jeff Carlson, Macworld


> iMovie ’11 offers many options for styling title text—more than you probably realized. But what if you want even more control over how text appears? Or maybe you want a custom graphic or logo to appear in the corner of your video. With an image editor and a small amount of trickery, you can easily do so.

**** The Theory Generation ****
<http://nplusonemag.com/the-theory-generation>
Nicholas Dames, n+1


> If so, you belong to what might be called the Theory Generation; and it has recently become evident that some of its members have been thinking back on their training. They are doing so, moreover, in a form older than Theory, a form that Theory has done much to denaturalize and demystify (OK, “deconstruct”): the more or less realist novel, which describes individual lives in a fairly linear manner in conventional, if elegant or well-crafted, prose.

Sonia Kolesnikov-Jessop, New York Times


> Sundaram Tagore, who has had an outpost of his New-York based gallery in Hong Kong since 2008, said he had chosen Singapore over Shanghai or Beijing to open a new branch “purely because of the transparent manner of doing business in Singapore.”

> But Valentine Willie, a Malaysian gallery operator who since 2008 has had a gallery in Artspace at Helutrans, in Singapore, expressed caution, pointing out that the regional art market was “soft” and likely to remain so for the next two years at least.
