iOS 8.1.3 is out.
From Andrew Cunningham’s post on Ars Technica this morning:
Apple has just released iOS 8.1.3, the third patch for iOS 8.1 and the sixth update to iOS 8 since its release.
The most significant problem addressed by the new update is that it reduces the amount of free space that you need to install software updates, a problem which has proven especially irritating for owners of 8GB and 16GB iDevices.…
iOS 8.1.3 released, reduces the space you need to install updates has the gory details.

At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Andy Croll, and I’m a designer and Ruby developer based in Brighton, UK.
I’m currently working remotely as a Senior Engineer at a travel company called HouseTrip. I have a background in design and worked my way to the “back-end”, but these days I focus more on Ruby/Rails work. I’m the sort of person who has a lot of side projects — more ideas than time.
I run the Brighton Ruby Conference as well as a weekly bootstrapping newsletter (bootstrapping.io) and directory (buybootstrapped.org) as that’s where my eventual passions lie: small companies making cool things. I’ve done the VC startup thing as a founder, but it didn’t really agree with me. I occasionally blog at andycroll.com — a lot less than I should.

Caitlin McGarry posted on Macworld this morning:
Apple killed its long-running “Single of the Week” promotion earlier this month, disappointing iTunes customers and musicians alike. After 11 years of complimentary songs, which offered exposure to countless new artists, the free ride was over — or so it seemed.
But Apple on Monday launched a new “Free on iTunes” section chock full of songs and full-length TV episodes.…
Yay!! Let’s hope they keep this up! PYBT: Apple brings back free music with new iTunes promotion for the whole story.
Due to a convoluted set of circumstances, the Yosemite and iOS 8 workshops scheduled for this coming Saturday and next Saturday (24 and 31 January) at Di-No have been postponed.
We are working on finalizing dates and personnel even as we speak; stay tuned to your e-mail in boxes and the Web site, and at the February meeting, for all the details.

Whether you’re a new Mac user or you’ve got some computing miles under your belt, you’ll probably be interested in at least some of Glenn Fleishman’s suggestions. As he puts it:
As a nearly 30-year veteran of Mac ownership, I have 10 solid suggestions that will make your life better by shaving off the little irritations that remain in Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and in Apple’s bundled software. A new Mac user will be happier than otherwise, and a veteran user looking to refresh a system will find the time and effort savings quite rewarding as well.
