<http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/10/10/review-1password-4-for-mac-from-agilebits>
Lester Victor Marks, AppleInsider


> Passwords stink. Password policies vary widely from the many sites you choose or have to use, and satisfying them all is hard, and hard to keep up with. That's why 1Password is an invaluable application — and the new 1Password 4 qualifies as a worthy update.

*** Devs Can Now Use All iPhone 5S Colors In Marketing ***
<http://www.tuaw.com/2013/10/09/devs-can-now-use-all-iphone-5s-colors-in-marketing/>
Michael Grothaus, TUAW


> Apple has updated its developer guidelines to allow developers to use all colors of the iPhone 5s in product marketing. Previously developers were only officially allowed to use the black iPhone likeness for marking, though many developers ignored this rule and used the white iPhone as well, suggesting Apple rarely enforces this rule.

> One clever feature is the ability to share videos in real time with friends, so if, for example, you're both in different places at a sporting event, you can share each other's clips and build them into your own video creation.




*** Design Quality And Customer Delight As Sustainable Advantages ***
<http://daringfireball.net/2013/10/design_quality_as_a_sustainable_advantage>
John Gruber, Daring Fireball


> So the irony here is that iOS vs. Android (or, if you prefer, iPhone and iPad vs. commodity smartphones and tablets) is in fact a replay Mac vs. Windows — but not in the way that most who make the comparison would have you believe. Judging by its actions, Apple is keenly aware of the lessons to be learned from 20 years ago. To wit, this has nothing to do with focusing on raw market share, and everything to do with keeping the pedal to the metal on design and quality. If Apple maintains a lead over its rivals in those regards, the Mac suggests that Apple can occupy a dominant, stable, long-term position as the profit leader in the mobile market as well — a market that is already bigger than the PC market ever was, and unlike the PC market, is still growing.




*** How We Fixed The iOS7 Forced Logout Bug That’s Been Plaguing So Many Apps ***
<https://blog.loom.com/how-we-fixed-the-ios7-forced-logout-bug-thats-been-plaguing-so-many-apps/>
Mang-Git Ng, Loom


> When the Loom app is launched in background mode and the phone is not authenticated past the login screen, the keychain file for Loom was returning an empty string for both the login email and password. Thus the Loom app thought that the user had never previously authenticated and presents a login screen for the user upon return to the app, despite the user having previously authenticated and that all application-specific information was intact.


Customers should, on the other hand, be aware of the tradeoff between functionality / convenience and security. Because this is a tradeoff.



*** “Offers In-App Purchases” ***
<http://nikf.org/blog/offers-in-app-purchases>
Nik Fletcher


> Whilst Apple’s not going to dictate how businesses bring in revenue, it’s very clear that IAP is the way that Apple foresees that mainstream apps should generate revenue. After all, nothing serves Apple’s platform (and Apple’s customers) better than thousands of high quality apps becoming thousands of high quality Free* apps.

*** Why Unsuccessful Writers Give The Best Advice ***
<http://www.salon.com/2013/10/09/why_unsuccessful_writers_give_the_best_advice/>
Noah Berlatsky, Salon


> Most people wouldn’t necessarily look at my amalgamation of cobbled together gigs and say, “That’s the writing career I want.” It’s natural that you’d turn to more successful writers, and just as natural that those folks tend to talk about writing as a craft and a calling. But I think it’s valuable, too, to know that writing, for most people, most of the time, is less like an art and a craft and a calling than it is like a job.
