*** iTunes 12 Review: New Interface And Features Tested ***
<http://www.macworld.co.uk/review/audio/itunes-12-review-3525162/>
Lou Hattersley, Macworld UK

> The media management side of iTunes remains as stable as ever, and I like the new interface. It’s a shame that the story about iTunes has become what it’s missing out on, rather than what it features. Music has, for most people, always been a social experience and iTunes is sorely missing out on social interaction aspects of rivals like Spotify. Apple iTunes is a very lonely place to listen to music if you’ve used Spotify for a while.

> Ahrendts stated the timeframe to retail employees in a video message, a transcript of which was provided by a source. While explaining that employees need to conserve energy for upcoming shopping seasons, Ahrendts stated, “we’re going into the holidays, we’ll go into Chinese New Year, and then we’ve got a new watch launch coming in the spring:”

The first day of Chinese New Year falls on 19th February, 2015. It's the Year of the Goat.

> MetaFilter began in 1999 as a sort of humane proto-Reddit. Why did a site for sharing "best of the web" links become a place where strangers help each other in real life in extraordinary ways?



*** My Grandma The Poisoner ***

John Reed, Vice

> People were always dying around Grandma—her children, her husbands, her boyfriend—so her lifelong state of grief was understandable. To see her sunken in her high and soft bed, enshrouded in the darkness of the attic, and surrounded by the skin-and-spit smell of old age, was to know that mothers don’t get what they deserve. Today, when I think back on it, I don’t wonder whether Grandma got what she deserved as a mother; I wonder whether she got what she deserved as a murderer.
