How to prevent Safari from launching iTunes »
By default, Safari opens iTunes when you click an App Store or Music link, but you can change that.
Using an extension called NoMoreiTunes, you can prevent Safari from automatically opening iTunes when you click an iTunes or App Store link. For those of us that don’t like the automatic launching of these apps, this is a very useful and simple extension.
Six Colors: iPad Pro Review »
Jason Snell of Six Colors recently wrote a post about using the iPad Pro in place of a Mac, but this week he published a more in-depth review of the iPad Pro, along with the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. Jason describes the hardware as being top-notch, but it’s iOS that needs to grow a bit more now. This is a great read for anyone interested in the newest member of the iPad lineup.

Myke Hurley, co-founder of Relay FM, wrote a guest post for the new Apple Pencil. As someone who has his fair share of experience with traditional writing instruments (The Pen Addict podcast), Myke offers a unique perspective on this newest tool from Apple.
It might not be as good as real paper and real pens and pencils, but Myke explains that this is a big step in the right direction. If you’re interested in the Apple Pencil for your new iPad Pro, Myke’s informative review is essential.
