I have to say, the timing does smell a little fishy to me; perhaps Apple would have been better to have not even “acknowledged” the release of Samsung’s Galaxy S4.

All the points on the page are truly legitimate reasons to choose an iPhone — and if this page sticks around, I’ll certainly refer friends and family to it to explain why the iPhone is my phone of choice — but perhaps the page could have been released a few days either side of Samsung’s announcement? Being released so close to a competitor’s time in the spotlight makes it feel a little desperate, as Owen Williams points out. Sometimes not even acknowledging a competitor is the best form of competition.

I guess that depends whose predictions you were reading. Mine seem pretty accurate.

Well, that’s another use for it, I guess. For me, apps are the killer feature.

As ever, Gruber hits the nail on the head with so much vigour I feel compelled to share his piece:

The desire for the “Oh, how the mighty Apple has fallen” narrative is so strong that the narrative is simply being stated as fact, evidence to the contrary be damned. It’s reported as true simply because they want it to be true. They’re declaring “The King is dead; long live the King” not because the king has actually died or abdicated the throne, but because they’re bored with the king and want to write a new coronation story.

Even though this video has already has over 4.5 million views, I feel compelled to share it. I was blown away by the graphs shown.

The world isn’t quite what it seems.

Gabe wrote a sweet review of Groove for iOS, a music player designed to be a different way to experience your library of tracks on iPhone or iPad. If music is something you enjoy, you might want to check the review out.

Groove is certainly miles away from iOS’s default music app, and as I’m a bit of a music nut, I bought it and am enjoying it.

It hasn’t replaced the Music app in iOS for me (I still use it for pre-made playlists), but it’s a nice addition when I want to be surprised. I consider Groove the iOS equivalent of a “Genius” style feature, wrapped up as an app. And, as that, it rocks.

Now this is a website I can truly get behind. Animated GIFs are awesome, but I’ve never known where to search a great selection. That’s now changed.

Bookmarked (in my bookmarks bar, no less) for future use.

I’ve been a big fan of James May for years, but until today I had no idea about this fantastic story. If anything, it heightens my respect for him.

This car is one of the most impressively aggressive pieces of engineering I’ve seen and I’m so blown away by it that I feel compelled to share.

The Aventador is my favourite supercar — and this Veneno concept takes elements from it and cranks them up to eleven.

That’s the linkbait-esque headline for this interesting infographic, comparing Apple and Samsung. No new data here, but an interesting look at the two companies.

Do I think Apple has anything to be worried about? Not really.

It’s worth reading this Lifehacker piece just to discover Autograph. PopClip is pretty awesome, too. You can read on for that.

I reviewed FX Photo Studio for Mac over at The Industry. Since the review was published, I’ve been using the Pro version, too. I’ve found the Pro version to have better performance and I’ve enjoyed the extra image adjustments available.

If you’d like a pretty great image editor for Mac, read on.
