Michael Grothaus, TUAW


> Tomb Raider 1's graphics are of the same quality as the 1996 original, but they look cheap when displayed on the iPhone. That's because gaming and graphics have gotten so good that our phones have surpassed the wildest dreams of what was possible on a gaming machine from the 1990s.

*** Ecoute 2 Review ***
<http://www.macstories.net/reviews/ecoute-2-review/>
Federico Viticci, MacStories


> For me, the best feature of Ecoute is its superior navigation. Thanks to the grid layout, artists and album retain recognizability and more items can be displayed on the screen.

<http://www.imore.com/why-heck-would-anyone-buy-non-retina-macbook-pro-well>
Peter Cohen, iMore


> Many customers will continue to get the standard MacBook Pro because of the combination of low price, more storage capacity and internal optical drive.

Dan Lyons, HubSpot


> But once Apple introduced a 64-bit processor, all the other phone-makers wanted one too. “Apple kicked everybody in the balls with this. It’s being downplayed, but it set off panic in the industry.”

*** 200 MB Free ***
<http://www.manton.org/2013/12/200_mb_free.html>
Manton Reece


> The good news is that “200 MB free” is not a marketing gimmick. No strings attached, no credit card required, and no phone plan needed; it really is free cell data. The cost is dealing with a company that wants desperately to “get” iOS but isn’t quite there, and poor connectivity between cities compared to AT&T.

<http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/apple-building-rtb-platform-sell-app-ads-154523>
Garett Sloane, Adweek


> There is a new focus within the company’s advertising unit, and the mantra came direct from Eddy Cue, Apple’s head of software. In a staff meeting before the holidays, Cue indicated that iTunes Radio is the top priority, and app ads are not.

Louis Bayard, Washington Post


> Her life stops in the exact moment her fiance jilts her. Decades later, when a boy named Pip encounters her, every clock in her manor is frozen at 20 minutes to nine. The wedding cake, reduced to black fungus, still rests on the cobwebbed dining table, and the woman herself, shrunken and waxy, is robed in the mildewed remains of her bridal gown.
