> The plastic back doesn’t feel cheap or crummy, it feels solid. It’s shiny and attractive, if slightly larger than the iPhone 5. In fact, comparing it to an iPhone 5, it feels like an iPhone 5 wearing a very thin (and colorful) shell of a case.

> It happens that Apple is still signing the most recent versions of iOS 6, but it may not do so for long. Therefore, if you feel that you’ve made a fatal mistake by upgrading to iOS 7, now’s the time to fire up your Mac to grab iOS 6 and perform the downgrade.

*** Stephen King: On Alcoholism And Returning To The Shining ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/sep/21/stephen-king-shining-sequel-interview>
Emma Brockes, The Guardian


> Stephen King has written a lot of books – at 56 novels, he's closing in on Agatha Christie – some of which have been great, some of which less so. Still, he says, when people say, "Steve, your books are uneven", he's confident "there's good stuff in all of 'em". Now and then, a story lingers in his mind long after it's published. When fans ask what happened to Charlie McGee in Firestarter, for example, King isn't interested. But when they ask what happened to Danny Torrance, the boy from The Shining, he always found himself wondering. Specifically: what the story would have looked like if Danny's father – mad "white-knuckle alcoholic" Jack Torrance – had "found AA. And I thought, well, let's find out."
