As any smartphone owner knows, hardware is subject to frequent updates. You may have just become the proud owner of an iPhone 4, only to hear that an iPhone 5 is on the horizon.

Developers can make simple tweaks that make their apps run faster or more efficiently, or they can quickly churn out new apps designed to perform new tasks.
Here are some new apps, including some hard-to-find gems and some updates to old favorites.

In rare instances, a Supreme Court justice may elect to call attention to his or her displeasure with a majority decision by reading a dissenting opinion from the bench. We document this phenomenon by constructing a data set from audio files of Court proceedings and news accounts. We then test a model explaining why justices use this practice selectively by analyzing ideological, strategic, and institutional variables. Judicial review, formal alteration of precedent, size of majority coalition, and issue area influence this behavior. Ideological distance between the dissenter and majority opinion writer produces a counterintuitive relationship. We suspect that reading a dissent is an action selectively undertaken when bargaining and accommodation among ideologically proximate justices h...
