> Apple has started to add labels to all fermium apps in the App Store. As of now, these labels are only viewable on the desktop version of the iTunes Store but should soon rollout to mobile users in the iOS applications as well. Shoppers can view these labels directly under the purchase button on the app’s information page. The label simply states that the app ”Offers In-App Purchases.”

Chris Welch, The Verge


> Apple yesterday rolled out two-step verification, a security measure that promises to further shield Apple ID and iCloud accounts from being hijacked. Unfortunately, today a new exploit has been discovered that affects all customers who <i>haven't</i> yet enabled the new feature. It allows anyone with your email address and date of birth to reset your password — using Apple's own tools.

John Jeremiah Sullivan, Lapham's Quarterly


> These are stimulating times for anyone interested in questions of animal consciousness. On what seems like a monthly basis, scientific teams announce the results of new experiments, adding to a preponderance of evidence that we’ve been underestimating animal minds, even those of us who have rated them fairly highly.

<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/24/books/review/middle-men-stories-by-jim-gavin.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Marisa Silver, New York Times


> A generous humanity and a fond wit animate Jim Gavin’s wonderful first collection, “Middle Men.” Gavin’s stories revolve around a familiar theme — men searching for identity and meaning — but they’re distinguished by his more specific concerns: how work shapes lives, and the differences in the way the young and the old confront the humbling problem of ambition and success.

Hanah Wallace, Washington Post


> Moss is devoted to showing us how ruthless these companies are at exploiting our built-in cravings for salt, sugar and fat, aggressively marketing junk food not just to children but to the poor.
