Cliff Joseph, Macworld UK


> NoteSuite isn’t the most polished note-taking app we’ve ever seen, but it does have one big advantage over rivals such as Evernote in that it uses Apple’s iCloud service to sync your notes and to-do lists across multiple devices.

Aldrin Calimlim, AppAdvice


> QuikIO, the quick and easy utility app that lets you stream, download, or share any files from your computers to your iDevices, has just been updated to version 3.0. QuikIO 3.0 brings support for video subtitles, playlist creation and importing, more audio codecs, passcode, search, and photo zoom.

Cliff Joseph, Macworld UK


> Max Payne 3 is a very violent and bloody game, and one that should definitely be kept away from the kids. It is, however, very stylish and well told, and will certainly appeal to fans of Quentin Tarantino.

Richard Devine, iMore


> Version 4.4 adds an auto-pause function that kicks in and pauses your music the instant you mute your device, a handy touch to have, and slightly easier than turning on the screen first to manually pause, for sure. Also, in an effort to improve playback quality, Pandora claims to have improved buffering so if you find yourself on a "flaky connection" you shouldn't experience as much stuttering.

<http://www.imore.com/sugar-rush-iphone-and-ipad-review-candy-crush-meets-bejeweled-blitz>
Allyson Kazmucha, iMore


> Sugar Rush for iPhone and iPad is sure to grab your attention if you fancy playing either Candy Crush or Bejeweled Blitz. The general game play is easier but the concept and the reliance on your friends to give you lives is very much like Candy Crush.

Andrew Childress, Mactuts+


> Skitch maintains a lightweight and easy to use feel that has made it a must-use, for me, on the Mac. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use Skitch to take, crop, resize and annotate screenshots taken on your Mac — and much more besides.

Topher Kessler, CNET


> Sometimes OS X's Disk Utility may show errors with a drive when it's run from one location, but will describe the drive as perfectly healthy when run from another.




*** ReadKit For Mac Is Almost The Perfect Reading App ***
<http://tidbits.com/article/13894?rss>
Josh Centers, TidBITS


> Originally an app designed as a viewer for read-later services, such as Instapaper, Pocket, and Readability, ReadKit now supports bookmarking services Pinboard and Delicious, plus RSS syncing services Fever, NewsBlur, Feed Wrangler, Feedbin, and it even has its own internal RSS support. The effort has paid off.

*** The Mystery Of The Missing Hotel Toothpaste ***
<http://www.slate.com/articles/life/culturebox/2013/07/toothpaste_in_hotels_why_do_they_provide_shampoo_soap_and_high_end_toiletries.html>
Daniel Engber, Slate


> Hotels distract us from this essential, unmet need with a thin illusion of excess. Even the most egregious fleabags will provide a few skinny bars of soap and a flagon of shampoo. Luxury hotels sprinkle extras on the bathroom counter like confetti: a nail file, a facial towelette, a shower puff, a mending kit, a shoe mitten. And what about the toothpaste—that most indispensible tool of anyone’s <i>toilette</i>, a product used by virtually every hotel guest in America at least twice per day? Why should it be easier to sew a button to your cardigan or polish your loafers than it is to brush your teeth? Why have hotels forsaken oral hygiene?
