Weekend Highlights: Long time Apple watcher, Glenn Fleishman, believes "Apple makes its living through punctuated equilibrium, not through disruption" as he explains the company's "incremental approach"; CNET's Jason Hiner ponders the case of mistaken identity in the iPhone 5c, sees the new iPhone as replacement for iPod touch for "generation of kids about to convert to smartphones"; Haydn Shaughnessy at Forbes sees Apple, Samsung's latest announcement as lesson for businesses navigating their future; iMore previews fingerprint authentication in new iPhone 5s; USA Today piece explains how you can find your WiFi network password on your device; iBeacons, aka "indoor GPS" was not even mentioned in Tuesday's event, but Computerworld's Mike Elgan believes the technology is simply brilliant; in UK's Telegraph, Matt Warman compares the iPhone 5s and 5c and Apple's strategy of leveraging popular colors (gold in Asia) as recreation of their strategy; iPhone 5s free with new contract in Japan thanks to carriers duking it out over the new products; analyzing moves and shifts in the foundry market, Daniel Dilger thinks Samsung has lost A7 chip contract to TSMC; international iPhone 5s/c information down in our General Interest section; network reliability gap between AT&T, Verizon narrowing; Apple apparently hiring solar engineers, possible solar powered iDevices down the road?; Microsoft removes series of videos lampooning Apple's new iPhones, TechCrunch thinks they're about as funny as the Surface RT; and in Friday's highlights, Wall Street may have rebuffed Apple this week, but billionaire investor Carl Icahn saw it as a buying opportunity which suggests he sees plenty of potential in the iPhone 5s; writing at ZDNet, Michael Krigsman believes it is urgent for Apple "innovate more rapidly", sees company as lost without Steve Jobs; aside from external cosmetic tweaks, not much is different with iPhone 5s on the outside, but under the hood is where the significant changes lie; one such change, the A7 chip holds tremendous promise, and the "A" stands for "Ambition" according to Ben Bajarin; and that other chip, the "M" chip, holds mystery to Horace Dediu, who attempts to sleuth through available data in hopes of revealing the unknown; Rick Munarriz at The Motley Fool asks whether iPhone 5c will be to Apple what the Surface RT is to Microsoft; final OS X update issued before Mavericks surfs onto our desktops, security fixes, vulnerability patches abound; Dennis Sellers wants Apple to do for Mac iWork users what they have done for iOS iWork users, offer the suite for free; iPhone 5c pre-orders begin, offerings from major carriers in US, iPhone 5s also available, but supply may be constrained.

This weekend's MU PROMO offers 38% savings on iStat Menus Family Pack (5 Users). "iStat Menus conveniently keeps an eye on all of your Mac's stats and processes in real-time.

"Right, so here's an interesting thing that I just realized. I grabbed the 10.8.5 update and installed it yesterday. Everything seems to be fine. To install it though, I entered no password. Clearly the App Store had remembered my login and password -- it does that, seemingly for a long time. I didn't have to enter my computer administrator password, which is different. That seems downright dangerous and would give me pause as a system administrator."?MacInTouch?9/14
