Wired Ranks the Rumors
As Christina Bonnington reports in Wired:
Each week, there are dozens of rumors, reports, and patent filings that hint at what’s coming out of Cupertino next. Some are legit, but many are totally bogus. As always, we’ve parsed the rumors, ranking them in order from “utterly ridiculous” to “duh, of course”. First up…
DON’T COUNT ON IT: “iPhone 6” Photos Galore
It, of course, gets better from there. PYBT: This Week’s Apple Rumors, Ranked From Dumbest to Most Plausible for all the juicy tidbits.

Who are you and what do you do?
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:
I’m David Chartier and I am a Content Strategist and Writer. I run marketing and PR for AgileBits (makers of 1Password and Knox) and a few clients. I also run Finer Things in Tech and got my start in the industry as a blogger for TUAW, then an Associate Editor at Ars Technica and Macworld. I freelance occasionally for Macworld, The Mac Observer, and The Wirecutter.
Editor’s note: David was kind enough to provide us with his Mac, iPhone, and iPad setups. To keep it all straight, we’ve deviated a bit from the normal format, but everything is labeled so you can enjoy the read.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Aaron Mahnke. I’m a freelance designer specializing in logos and icons, as well as app and website UI design. In my spare time, I write fiction, and have a number of novels available in most of the major ebook stores online. I blog occasionally on my personal site. I also make paper productivity tools that I sell online. Yes, paper. Sorry.
I work from home in the Boston area, where I live with my wife and two little girls. We live about 5 miles from the Atlantic and I can smell salt water from my office window. I love reading, writing, and playing games with friends. Recently, I’ve become addicted to Magic: The Gathering, and play that at the local game shop any chance I get. I’m a nerd, and I’m proud of it.
