Analyst: The iPhone 5S Will Have A ‘Killer Feature’ apadv.co/YksdBn

With the original iPhone’s release, Apple released a second, less-shiny product:
An RSS web client.
Found at reader.mac.com, it was fairly simple. If you visited a RSS link in Mobile Safari, .Mac’s page would load up the feed on a nice looking page:

Turns out, the page is still there. If you visit that URL on an iPhone, here’s what it looks like:
(As an aside, what it looks like on the desktop.)
What if Luke Skywalker had help from inside the Empire?
Pat Dryburgh at the now-oddly-named Brooks Review:
Today, Mailbox holds little appeal to me. This is because I don’t need a new front-end for my email. I need a new back-end.
Pat’s suggestion of marrying Mailbox’s UI to Dropbox’s powerful file management system is genius, and after reading it, so incredibly obvious that Dropbox would be foolish not to do this.
Apple:
What makes an iPhone unlike anything else? Maybe it’s that it lets you do so many things. Or that it lets you do so many things so easily. Those are two reasons iPhone owners say they love their iPhone. But there are many others as well.
Reading over this page felt weird. Apple’s always pimped its products as hard as it can, using over-the-top language.

The latest Apple TV doesn’t change functionality, nor does it appear to be a step back in performance. The A1469 model really helps Apple reduce costs, both through better engineering and through a physically smaller A5 SoC.
While the implication of this smaller A5 chipset isn’t immediately clear, it’s always fun when Apple tinkers in public.
John Neff at Autoblog:
Unveiled yesterday by Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in Australia ahead of the season-opening Melbourne Grand Prix, this 1:1 scale model of the team’s 2011 Ferrari F150 Italia car is a highly accurate recreation of the real thing. While Ferrari hasn’t released too many details about it (a brick count would be nice), we do know that the car has real Pirelli race tires and a seat that can actually accommodate a driver. Once buckled in, though, everything within arms reach is made of Lego, including the complicated F1 steering wheel.
Really sounds like the left hand at Google has no idea what the right one is doing. Shocking.
Here are the goods:
