News: The Macalope Weekly: Unreasonable expectations

First, we'll take a look at a very reasonable comparison between the Microsoft Surface Pro and the MacBook Air; then, let's sit back as "dude who writes on the Internet" tells us what Apple needs to do to fix itself. Finally, we'll talk about what unprecedented dire straits Apple finds itself in. Again.

News: How to temporarily mute notifications on iOS
On Tuesday, I shared my frustration with iOS 6's lack of a systemwide mute switch for notifications that silences such alerts even when your iOS device is in use. As I complained about then, I find it annoying when incoming notifications interrupt streaming video or turn-by-turn directions, and Do Not Disturb is no help in those situations. I don't want to disable those notifications entirely; I just want to silence them when I'm using certain apps.

News: On the lookout for Mac and iOS products at CES
International CES is not much of a show for Mac users. (Actually, given the preponderance of 4K TVs crowding the showfloor at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the lack of stellar smartphone news, it's becoming less of a show for PC and mobile users, too.) But look long enough and you can find a few items of interest on the acres of exhibit space that may appeal to Mac users. Broaden the criteria to include items for the iPhone or iPad, and your search becomes a lot easier.

News: Reminders: How to quickly schedule tasks on your Mac
I've written about--and even made videos about--the Reminders app before. While the app, built-in to both iOS and Mountain Lion, isn't as feature-rich as many third-party to-do list apps, I appreciate its simple iCloud syncing, Siri integration, and cross-device ubiquity.
