> Gentle Bytes’ $10 Startupizer is one of those utilities that does one very specific thing, but does it well. The thing, in this case, is manage your login items—those apps and other nifty processes that you’ve opted to automatically launch or open every time you log in to your account on your Mac. Startupizer does this well by giving you greater control than OS X over exactly when and how those things launch.

Federico Viticci, MacStories


> The 4.0 update to the iOS app is nicely built and put together. I like how video capture sits right next to the standard camera interface (you can tap a button or swipe to access it), and I also appreciate the options to delete clips (portions of a video) and choose a cover thumbnail — two features that I always wanted to see in Vine.

Dave Caolo, TUAW


> Toca Builders is an utterly charming take on the world-builder theme that's become so popular thanks to hits like Minecraft and Eden. The artwork, sound and play mechanics are stellar, and each of the six "characters" whose unique skills you must manipulate to construct your fantasy world, brick by brick, are so well executed you'll wish they were scooting, rolling and building all over your desk.

Brent Dirks, AppAdvice


> Originally just designed for the iPhone/iPod touch, probably the biggest improvement is that Task is now universal and looks great on the iPad and iPad mini.

> To make keeping track of tasks easier, the update also brings iCloud syncing so you’ll always be up to date on what needs to be done, no matter what iOS device you’re using.

> ere’s some advice for bibliophiles with teetering piles of books and not enough hours in the day: don’t read them. Instead, feed the books into a computer program and make graphs, maps and charts: it is the best way to get to grips with the vastness of literature. That, at least, is the recommendation of Franco Moretti, a 63-year-old professor of English at Stanford University and unofficial leader of a band of academics bringing a science-fiction thrill to the science of fiction.

Ron Charles, Washington Post


> The whole time I was working on my review of “The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls,” I froze whenever anyone asked me what I was reading. Sometimes, I’d just hold up the book and let them try to pronounce the title themselves. Other times, I’d call it “That Riding Camp for Girls Book.”
