Kelly Jacklin


> Now a normal person would have just started playing around on the keyboard. But I'm not normal, and decidedly not a keyboardist... So I went all "left brain" on this one (I'm normally used to avoiding that side of the brain when playing guitar or recording), and decided to write a program to generate the various permutations of the notes.

<http://www.macworld.com/article/2045069/review-photo-ninja-1-0-is-the-dark-horse-in-the-raw-converter-sweepstakes.html>
William Porter, Macworld


> Photo Ninja, a new Raw-image converter and photo-processing app by PictureCode, makes a very good first impression. Used alone or in conjunction with other popular photo-management and photo-editing tools, it’s a capable program, and serious photographers should take notice.

<http://www.anandtech.com/show/7180/apple-macbook-air-11-2013-review>
Vivek Gowri, AnandTech


> The battery life is awesome, it really changes the way you approach the system, and I still love this form factor, but it’s hard to look at this and not compare it to an Ultrabook with a far better display for the same price.

<http://www.macworld.com/article/2045999/review-withings-pulse-shows-heart.html#tk.rss_all>

*** Apple’s Evolving View Of “Pro” ***
<http://kensegall.com/2013/08/apples-evolving-view-of-pro/>
Ken Segall's Observatory


> In truth though, Apple is walking to a place that’s entirely new — and asking the pros to walk with them. They’re betting that people who love to create and innovate will appreciate a super-powerful computer designed in the same spirit.




*** Email Phishing Campaign Uses $200 Apple Store Gift Card As lure ***
<http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/08/09/opening.link.downloads.java.based.malware/>
MacNN


> A new email-based phishing campaign is using a fake $200 Apple Store gift card as bait, says security firm Webroot. The message prompts people to click a download link or open an attachment; doing either will actually install Java-based malware, which is then used to steal personal data from a computer. The data could be used for crimes like identity theft.

*** How MTV Forced Rock Stars To Be Sexy ***
<http://www.salon.com/2013/08/09/how_mtv_forced_rock_stars_to_be_sexy/>
Joseph Lapin, Salon


> Well, music videos are exiled to MTV 2 and YouTube, and what remains of MTV’s reach is its influence on the branding  of artists. Contemporary radio programs and streaming technology like Spotify, Pandora and SoundCloud are showing that The Buggles spoke way too soon and music videos — and the musicians who make them — are in the hands of marketing and communication professionals, not VJs.




*** Adam’s Rib, Van Gogh’s Ear, Einstein’s Brain ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/11/books/review/anatomies-by-hugh-aldersey-williams.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Florence Williams, New York Times


> Prudery doesn’t really explain our discomfort, but Aldersey-Williams hints at what might, namely fear. We fear the fragility, illness and suffering that are native to our corporeality. In “Anatomies,” he seeks to study the body full-on, frontally.




*** ‘Evil Men’ By James Dawes ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2013/08/09/e77fc5b2-b266-11e2-baf7-5bc2a9dc6f44_story.html?wprss=rss_books>
Christopher Byrd, Washington Post


> Few ideas hurtle toward us with the velocity of evil. Perhaps only the apprehension of death looms as a greater affront to our understanding. How we make sense of mankind’s capacity for atrocity and sadism says a great deal about our worldview.
