*** The Room 2 Review: Consummately Crafted, Spooky Game For iPad Puzzle Fans ***
<http://www.macworld.com/article/2086621/the-room-2-review-consummately-crafted-spooky-game-for-ipad-puzzle-fans.html#tk.rss_all>
David Price, Macworld


> Like The Room, The Room 2 is based on a series of puzzles, most of which can be solved either by manipulating physical objects or matching linked items (from obvious pairings such as a star-shaped dial and a star-shaped hole, to insects, playing cards, and parts of toy ships). Where it departs from the previous game is in the scope of the puzzles.

Larry Neumeister, Associated Press


> A judge on Thursday urged Apple to reboot its relationship with a monitor appointed to analyze its antitrust prevention practices, saying disqualifying him was no solution.

> "If anything, Apple's reaction to the existence of a monitorship underscores the wisdom of its imposition," she wrote. "A monitorship which succeeds in confirming the existence of a genuine and effective antitrust compliance program within Apple is in the interest of not only the American public but also Apple."

*** The iPod Of Prison ***

Joshua Hunt, New Yorker


> The SRF-39FP is the gold standard among prison radios in part because it runs on a single AA battery, and offers forty hours of listening time—longer than an iPod Classic. Digital models can require twice as many batteries, like the Sony SRF-M35FP, which runs on two AAAs. Federal inmates are particularly attuned to battery life because they are allowed to spend just three hundred and twenty dollars each month on commissary goods; more cash spent on batteries means less for snacks, stationery, clothing, and toiletries.




*** Margaret Drabble: In Defiance Of Time ***

April Bernard, The New York Review Of Books


> It only makes sense that a novelist of such long tenure, one so preoccupied with the slippery nature of time, should actually write a novel on the subject of “prolepsis”—the anticipation of future events. Drabble uses the adjectival form of the word frequently in her new novel, beginning with the first sentence: “What she felt for those children, as she was to realize some years later, was a proleptic tenderness.” When one notices its insistent reuse, by a writer of such verbal precision, consulting the dictionary seems a good idea.
