Joel Mathis, Macworld


> The updates are aimed at the MacBook Pro, the MacBook, and the MacBook Air. In each case, Apple says, the new firmware should give fresh life to old batteries. The update “addresses a rare issue on some Apple notebooks, where a battery that has accumulated more than 1,000 charge cycles may unexpectedly shut down or stop functioning.”

**** Why, Despite Flickr's Improvements, Instagram Still Wins My Heart ****
<http://www.macworld.com/article/2026531/why-despite-flickrs-improvements-instagram-still-wins-my-heart.html>
Christa Mrgan, Macworld


> Despite Flickr’s influx of returning, disgruntled Instagram-ers and my own earnest attempts to rekindle my account, after six weeks, the Flickr app hasn’t come close to replacing Instagram for me, and it’s largely because, using the Flickr app, viewing and commenting on my friends’ photos is a pain (though the uploading and editing experience is superior to Instagram’s). Instagram is where my photos get “likes” and comments. And it’s still, for the most part, where my friends are. For now.

**** The Future By Al Gore – Review ****
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/jan/31/the-future-al-gore-review?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+theguardian%2Fbooks%2Frss+%28Books%29>
John Gray, The Guardian


> Seeing history in terms of dynasties and epochs, China's rulers attach no special significance to the revolutions of the past few centuries. It is an attitude that time may well vindicate. But even these devotees of the long view will have much to learn from Gore's book, a tour de force that no government can afford to ignore.



**** The Liz Lemon Effect ****
<http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/01/_30_rock_finale_the_legacy_of_tina_fey_at_the_nbc_show_s_final_episode.html>
Jen Chaney, Slate


> If our Tina—first female head writer for <i>Saturday Night Live</i> and the stinging satirist behind the movie <i>Mean Girls</i>—could be put in charge of her own show about a woman who’s also in charge of her own show, then surely this would lead to a TV landscape in which, to borrow the title of Fey’s book, a lot of ladies would soon be walking across our LED screens wearing bossypants. At least that was the hope.



**** Timeless Book May Require Some Timely Fact Checking ****
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/books/releasing-old-nonfiction-books-when-facts-have-changed.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0&pagewanted=all>
Leslie Kaufman, New York Times


> The digitization of books has facilitated the rerelease of a spate of nonfiction works years or decades after their initial publication, and in some cases the common interpretation of their subject matter has evolved or changed significantly.
