Steven Sande, TUAW

> Over the weekend, my battery never got below 50 percent. This from a guy who normally sees that ominous red bar on the little battery icon and evening warnings about "You have less than 10% battery left." Does this make me happy? Heck, yeah. Does this mean I'll be able to skip my usual purchase of a Mophie Juice Pack? Yep.

<http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/09/iphone-6-and-6-plus-in-deep-with-apples-thinnest-phones/>
Andrew Cunningham, Ars Technica

> For many people, the larger iPhone 6 is well within "you'll get used to it" territory. It's certainly larger, but after a couple of days your hands will have adjusted, and going back to an iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 screen is going to make that screen seem tiny.
> Both the iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus are major upgrades over their predecessors that should keep most current iPhone buyers happy while also tempting people who wanted to use iOS but weren't willing to settle for smaller screens.

*** Hey, Siri... No, The Other Siri ***
<http://sixcolors.com/post/2014/09/hey-siri-no-the-other-siri/>
Jason Snell, Six Colors

> iOS 8 adds a feature that lets you trigger Siri just by saying “Hey Siri,” so long as your device is plugged in. Unfortunately, there’s no way to train Siri to respond to specific voices or customize the keywords it’s looking for.

<http://lowendmac.com/2014/ios-8-a-brief-introduction/>
Dan Knight, Low End Mac

> In terms of performance, I haven’t noticed a difference between iOS 7 and iOS 8, which is a good thing. Simon Royal has already noted that iOS 8 seems to be more energy efficient than iOS 7 on his iPhone 4S.

<http://www.macstories.net/reviews/view-source-code-in-safari-with-an-action-extension/>
Federico Viticci, MacStories

> Developed by Paul Hudson, View Source is a $0.99 Universal app that, as the name largely implies, lets you view the source code for webpages (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) in iOS' Safari with an action extension.

> If foreigners aren’t familiar with these shelters, few will have ever seen the skies open like they do here. The city-state averages around 90 inches of rainfall per year. That’s more than Hong Kong or monsoonal Dhaka, Bangladesh. It’s more than Seattle and Vancouver combined. And Singapore’s tropical rain often comes in heavy, short-lived sky-Niagaras.



*** The Solace Of Oblivion ***

> At the same time, the Court’s decision spoke to an anxiety felt keenly on both sides of the Atlantic. In Europe, the right to privacy trumps freedom of speech; the reverse is true in the United States. “Europeans think of the right to privacy as a fundamental human right, in the way that we think of freedom of expression or the right to counsel,” Jennifer Granick, the director of civil liberties at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, said recently.
