<http://www.macworld.co.uk/review/cloud/microsoft-onedrive-review-3507128/>
Lou Hattersley, Macworld UK


> While OneDrive good value, the recent price drop from Google Drive (which offers a largely similar service) has taken some of the wind out of OneDrive's sails. However you do get integration with Office Online, and if Microsoft brings decent Office support to the IPad it could be a game changer.

Blair Hanley Frank, GeekWire


> For people who need a robust tool that’s focused on text-based notetaking, OneNote seems like the better choice right now. But for people like me who want their notetaking software to be a bucket for everything they need to remember, it looks like Evernote still beats OneNote, hands-down.

> OneNote’s price, collaboration capabilities, and particularly its freeform note-taking feature make it a compelling application for capturing your ideas as quickly as possible. Whether it'll be a compelling alternative to Evernote remains to be seen.

Andrew Cunningham, Ars Technica


> This morning Apple made a couple of new additions to its iOS lineup, where "new" in this case means "old stuff that is nevertheless better than what it is replacing." It has finally removed the iPad 2 from its lineup and replaced it with 2012's fourth-generation iPad. For its second tour of duty, the iPad 4 will set you back $399 for a 16GB Wi-Fi version or $529 for a cellular version, $100 less than the equivalent iPad Air models and equal to the 16GB Retina iPad mini. There's also a new 8GB model of the iPhone 5C, which, as of this writing, is only available in certain territories.

> Now, as this former senior manager for the iPhone maker prepares to launch a product of his own, Mr Grignon says his encounters with Apple’s tempestuous co-founder prepared him for anything. “Once you’ve gone through the worst of a Steve meeting, any other meeting – whether pitching an investor or giving a demo – doesn’t feel hard,” he says. “When you are yelled at by Steve Jobs you know you are being yelled at by the best.”

> Mr Grignon is part of a select group in Silicon Valley: Apple alumni who have gone on to found their own companies. Whereas many former Google or Facebook employees have launched start-ups, Apple has not been a wellspring of entrepreneurialism.

*** Book Review: Yiyun Li’s ‘Kinder Than Solitude’ Dives Into The Weight Of Memory ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/book-review-yiyun-lis-kinder-than-solitude-dives-into-the-weight-of-memory/2014/03/17/c13271b6-a33d-11e3-84d4-e59b1709222c_story.html>
Marie Arana, Washington Post


> Memory is a one-way lane. Going down it, we summon faces from the past: old loves, lost friends, long-vanished relatives, our own young selves. We seldom imagine that our faces will haunt others in return. Or so says Yiyun Li in this sleek, powerful novel about the weight of memory, the brunt of loss and the myriad ways the past can crimp a soul.
