> iBank for iPad is, in a word, stellar. If you’re still using Quicken on your Mac or, for that matter, iBank for your Mac, there’s no reason <i>not</i> to move to this app. It’s as good as, or better than, anything you’re using online or on your Mac.

Geoffrey Goetz, GigaOM


> The battery life of the brand new MacBook Air is an enviable 12 hours (or more, as some reviewers found). If you can't afford to run out and buy a new one, don't worry: there are still things you can try to help preserve and extend the life of your older MacBook's battery.

Cody Fink, MacStories


> Tile resembles a small white square that’s only a few millimeters thick, making it both pocketable and small enough to be conveniently attached to gadgets or personal belongings. It’s small enough that you can slip it into a wallet’s pocket, or you can simply adhere it to the surface of a MacBook.

> Tile will work over Bluetooth 4.0 with the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad mini, 3rd or 4th generation iPads, and the 5th generation iPod touch. A Tile app for the iPhone will let you track all of your Tiles within a 50 ft to 150 ft range, displaying a small marker to help you find lost or misplaced items.

> There are a few default settings on the iPhone that are just plain annoying, but within just a minute or two you can fix all of that with a handful of simple adjustments, and have a much better experience.


Personally, I don't see how any user, as well as everyone around him, can put up with keyboard clicking sounds on a phone.

John Noble Wilford, New York Times


> We are beneficiaries of Mr. Switek’s undiminished passion, on display in “My Beloved Brontosaurus.” The book is a delight, coming along when so much has changed in our understanding of dinosaurs, ever since the beginning of a renaissance in dinosaur studies in the 1970s and ’80s.
