Peter Cohen, iMore

Ben Grubb, The Sydney Morning Herald

> While the ruling doesn't prevent Apple from continuing to use the term "app store", it means that Apple does not have the right in Australia to prevent others from using it.

*** Book Review: ‘How To Be Both,’ By Ali Smith ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/book-review-how-to-be-both-by-ali-smith/2014/12/02/f0d880f2-7418-11e4-a5b2-e1217af6b33d_story.html?wprss=rss_books>
Ron Charles, Washington Post

> Ali Smith’s playfully brilliant new novel makes me both excited and wary of recommending it. This gender-blending, genre-blurring story, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, bounces across centuries, tossing off profound reflections on art and grief, without getting tangled in its own postmodern wires. It’s the sort of death-defying storytelling acrobatics that don’t seem entirely possible — <i>How did she get here from there?</i> — but you’ve got to be willing to hang on.



*** An Answer To The Novel’s Detractors ***
<http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/novels-detractors>
Adelle Waldman, New Yorker

> Before we rush to condemn the novel’s supposedly obsolete conventions, we ought to look at what they do well.



*** Credit Roll ***

Tina Chase Gillmor, Medium

> I’m just a person who weirdly pays attention to this stuff. I know only what I’ve come to glean over the years of watching credits roll by and perusing a few legal documents on the Internet. I’m not a lawyer, and I’m not in the movie business. I’m sure you all will sort this out and set me straight. In fact, I’m counting on it so I can sleep soundly again knowing the next time I read movie credits everything will be normal again. But this one — this one is bothering me.
