> Most salespeople would have sold the more expensive computer, but this guy took the time to explain why I didn’t really need it, and convinced me to spend much less. Apple recognizes what few other retailers do: customer satisfaction starts even before a product is purchased, and it is customer satisfaction that makes companies great.

Federico Viticci, MacStories


> Skype videos can be up to three minutes long, and they can be recorded directly from Skype’s apps.

> It’s the realism I want to talk about. John Gruber calls it “A real thing, not pixels rendered on glass.” Rene Ritchie says “iOS 7 is alive.” This is the sort of update I was hoping iOS 5 would be nearly two years ago.

*** A Barrel Of Trouble: Carl Hiaasen’s ‘Bad Monkey’ Features A Cast Of Oddballs ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/18/books/carl-hiaasens-bad-monkey-features-a-cast-of-oddballs.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Janet Maslin, New York Times


> At the start of Carl Hiaasen’s latest comedic marvel, a visitor fishing near Key West hooks a severed human arm. There is no time for this to register as grisly. A page later the captain of the fishing boat tells the freaked-out tourist reassuringly, “Well, son, we’re in the memory-making business.” You can’t argue with that.

Cornelia Dean, New York Times


> A lot of her advice is common sense, but some of it is surprising.
