<http://tidbits.com/article/13693?rss>
Matt Neuburg, TidBITS


> Some aspects of the shuffle that might be thought weaknesses turn out to be strengths, or at least not significantly different from my old iPod nano; in one or two areas it definitely disappoints, but in ways I can live with. And some features of the shuffle turn out to be <i>better</i> than the nano!

**** View & Delete iCloud Documents From The iPhone & iPad ****
<http://osxdaily.com/2013/04/12/view-delete-icloud-documents-ios/>
OS X Daily


> Practically all apps that store documents in iCloud let you delete them from the app itself, which simultaneously removes them from iCloud and thus all other synced iOS & OS X devices. But if you’re looking to manage and remove specific iCloud documents and data, there is a better way to do it through a centralized control panel within iOS that will let you view all documents stored in iCloud, much like the same feature that is on the Mac which is accessible through OS X System Preferences.

Eric R. Kandel, New York Times
