**** Hundreds For iPhone And iPad Review ****
<http://www.imore.com/hundreds-iphone-and-ipad-review>
Leanna Lofte, IMore


> Hundreds is a very fun, though admittedly frustrating, puzzle game. It's very challenging, but in a way that keeps you coming back for more, because you repeatedly tell yourself that "you'll get it this time", and eventually you do. 



**** Awesomenauts Review ****

Andrew Hayward, Mac Life


> Brash as its title might seem, Awesomenauts pretty well lives up to its confident billing by delivering a stellar side-scrolling take on the surging Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre, in which small teams work together to storm the enemy base while protecting their own.

McSolo


> Of the few dozen RSS readers for Mac users, I have three favorites. The popular NetNewsWire. The open source Vienna (one of the Top 20 Free Mac Tools Every PC Switcher Needs).

> And, the one I use the most– Reeder.

> If you're one of those people who forgets to turn off your Mac at night, you might be interested in a little-known OS X feature capable of automatically putting your Mac to sleep at a time of your choosing.

<http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/micwright/100008616/apples-arrogance-is-starting-to-get-annoying/>
Mic Wright, The Telegraph


> It's easy to dismiss the Do Not Disturb bug as trivial and in isolation it is, but over time Apple's response to problems and the number of irritating little errors that pop up in iOS could begin to mount up in the public consciousness.

Toby Wellington, Macgasm

**** Artificial Intelligence ****
<http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2013/01/internet-gaming>
G.F., The Economist


> Word games reward people with a vast vocabulary and the ability to sort a jumble of letters into the most unusual concatenations. Cheating is hard because consulting a dictionary or an anagram-solving website would be rather conspicuous to the other players. Online, such obvious skullduggery would go undetected. Or would it?
