> Though specialists have devised myriad systems that purport to achieve Inbox Zero. I’m not that ambitious.

**** Confirmed: Apple Kicks AppGratis Out Of The Store For Being Too Pushy ****
<http://allthingsd.com/20130408/confirmed-apple-kicks-appgratis-out-of-the-store-for-being-too-pushy/>
John Paczkowski, All Things D


> Apple declined further comment on AppGratis’s ouster, framing the move as a standard response to guideline violations. But sources close to the company say it was more than a little troubled that AppGratis was pushing a business model that appeared to favor developers with the financial means to pay for exposure. “The App Store is intended as a meritocracy,” a source familiar with Apple’s thinking told AllThingsD.

> In other words, app-discovery platforms are fine as long as they’re not built on paid recommendations.

**** Inky Tears ****
<http://nymag.com/news/frank-rich/news-media-2013-4/>

**** Be Fruitful And Simplify! ****
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/books/simpler-and-simple.html?partner=rss&emc=rss>
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times


> Now come two new books that are part manifestoes, part templates for achieving simplicity in business and government. Both display a lot of common sense, arguing for the elimination of bureaucracy and redundancy and insisting that consumers (of health care, insurance, credit and products large and small) deserve more transparency. But both also sidestep some of the difficulties involved in reducing or containing complexity in today’s lawyered-up and interconnected society.
