Federico Viticci, MacStories


> Launch Center Pro’s greatest accomplishment is that it allows every kind of user to save time on an iPhone. With version 2.0, everyone will benefit from features like inline photos in messages, photo icons, and built-in Dropbox uploads and shareable links, while advanced users will rejoice for improved x-callback-url support, the remote URL scheme-based launcher, iOS 7 TextExpander support, and expanded action library. With a redesign that makes the app ready for iOS 7 without losing its identity, Launch Center Pro is still accessible for the automation novice and flexible for the iOS automation geek.

Edward Docx, The Guardian


> Although Eggers is saying all the same things as Franzen (and so much more), he makes his case not through the often tetchy medium of the essay, but in the glorious, ever resilient and ever engaging form of the novel.
