From the Inside
Kate MacKenzie has written a interesting post at Mac360 about the market for iOS and Android devices. Android is certainly winning the global market share battle (the story is different in the US), but iOS is doing better by most any other metric.

2013 Apple Roadmap
MacRumors has a story linking to a report by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who as had a pretty good track record regarding Apple's product releases. I think it's going to be a big year for Apple products and Kuo's report seems very light in the first six months to this observer.
Punk'd
Mark Rogowski, writing for Forbes, has a story about the recent WSJ article on severely depressed iPhone demand. A really great article.
1Password 4.1 for iOS
There's a great point update available for the recently released 1Password 4 for iOS. Federico Viticci has a nice writeup at MacStories. You need to use this app.
Dropping the Ball
Travis Bloom takes a critical look at Windows 8. He wants to like it. Really.
China Growth
Horace Dediu takes an interesting look at the growth of Apple in China. His take on Microsoft's future is also interesting.
Password Emergency
If you have a computer, tablet or smartphone and use it on the internet, you should be using 1Password. Because you use 1Password, if something should happen to you, those you leave behind will have no easy way of gaining access to your online identity.
Mie Vardy has written a nice piece about forming a plan to deal with this situation. It's not perfect by any means. People have taken advantage of the comment section to point out some of the basic flaws. The point is, devise a plan that works for you and take action.
