John Gruber, Daring Fireball


> This is what innovation, real innovation, looks like. It’s like the Thomas Edison quote, “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Innovation is missed by most people because it is so often incremental.

Andrew Cunningham, Ars Technica


> No matter what you think of the design, if you’re an iOS user and you want to keep up with the newest features, you’ll have to come to terms with it. And even things that still bother me (the animations, first and foremost) can be tolerated because of the genuinely useful new features and additions that arrive with the update.

Nick Spence, Macworld UK


> Flipboard is a must have app, more so with the introduction of iOS 7, one that showcases Apple's invention to great effect, while maintaining a lead over similar social-news aggregators. Beautifully tactile and responsive, it makes reading anything on your iDevice a absolute pleasure, one ideal for exploring both favourite news sources and discovering new and inspirational content, including wonderful user curated personalised magazines.

*** The iPhone 5s Review ***
<http://anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review>
Anand Lal Shimpi, AnandTech


> In many ways it's an evolutionary improvement over the iPhone 5, but in others it is a significant step forward. What Apple's silicon teams have been doing for these past couple of years has really started to pay off. From a CPU and GPU standpoint, the 5s is probably the most futureproof of any iPhone ever launched. As much as it pains me to use the word futureproof, if you are one of those people who likes to hold onto their device for a while - the 5s is as good a starting point as any.

> The fingerprint sensor solved a problem and makes my handling of the iPhone more efficient. That’s what a feature should do.




*** The iPhone 5c Review ***
<http://www.anandtech.com/show/7340/the-iphone-5c-review>
Anand Lal Shimpi, AnandTech


> Apple’s return to a polycarbonate iPhone design seems to have gone quite well. The iPhone 5c is solid, doesn’t have any noticeable amount of flex and has a great in hand feel thanks to its nicely curved edges.




*** iOS 7: The Pixel Envy Review ***
<http://pxlnv.com/blog/ios7-review/>
Nick Heer, Pixel Envy


> Should you upgrade? In a word, yes, but not without reservations. Even though it’s iOS 7.0, you can almost think of it as a 1.0 release — it’s that big of a rewrite. As such, it comes with the familiar caveats of a 1.0 release.




*** Byword 2 Review ***

Ray Augilera, Mac Life


> Thanks to the clean interface and onboard publishing features, Byword has become my new go-to app for everything from grocery lists to meeting notes, and yes, writing this article. It's got everything I need, without any of the bloat of a word processor.

*** A Grand Unified Theory Of Pixar ***
<http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/09/pixar_theory_this_grand_unified_theory_explains_how_monsters_inc_s_boo_grows.html>
Jon Negroni, Slate


> The Grand Unified Theory of Pixar is a long tale, spanning centuries, of a struggle for the domination of Earth among humans, animals with humanlike consciousness, and sentient inanimate objects—AI machines. The theory begins and ends with Brave, the studio’s 13th feature film and one that falls at the very beginning of the animated universe’s chronology as we know it. It’s in Brave, set in the Middle Ages, where moviegoers find a character that they first met more than a decade before in a seemingly unrelated film set several millennia in the future, at the far end of the Pixar timeline. But we’re getting several thousand animated years ahead of ourselves.
