Jonathan Seff and Philip Michaels, Macworld


> As of early Tuesday morning, Apple’s U.S. online store listed ship times of one to three days for the 16GB and 32GB Wi-Fi models. The 64GB and 128GB Wi-Fi iPad minis, and all configurations of the cellular-equipped tablets, will ship in five to ten business days, according to Apple’s online store. Those ship times are likely to slip as Apple's initial supply dwindles.

> GarageBand for iOS is much greater for the addition of more tracks, inter-app compatibility, iCloud sync and AirDrop sharing, and a more flexible Sampler instrument. With version 2.0, it remains one of the musical stars of the iOS firmament.

*** Mail In Mavericks: Is It Safe Yet? ***
<http://tidbits.com/article/14287?rss>
Joe Kissell, TidBITS


> If you were holding off on upgrading to Mavericks because of the Mail problems, all I can say is that it’s safer now than it was at first. I can’t guarantee you a trouble-free experience, and without a doubt, some people upgrading from Mountain Lion will feel the new version of Mail is a distinct downgrade. It all depends on how you use Mail, and as we’ve seen, each person approaches it a bit differently from the next.

*** D. H. Lawrence Possessed ***
<http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article1336760.ece>
Seamus Perry, The Times Literary Supplement


> I t is so manifestly an excellent thing to have Lawrence’s many poems brought together, edited by so punctilious and expert a scholar – and to have them presented in handsome volumes that do such credit to their publisher – that it feels the keener ingratitude to admit that the experience of reading them all through is, well, a bit of a slog. Mildly reassuring, then, to learn that D. J. Enright felt a similar mixture of gratitude and weariness when he reviewed the edition of Vivian de Sola Pinto and Warren Roberts (1964) which these volumes now triumphantly supplant.




*** Apple Maps: How Google Lost When Everyone Thought It Had Won ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/11/apple-maps-google-iphone-users>
Charles Arthur, The Guardian


> ComScore's data suggests though that comparatively few iPhone owners actually take the trouble to use Google's maps rather than Apple's - in part because Apple's maps are the default for any driving directions or map-related search on iOS 6 and above.
