I’ve always been a fan of Vimeo, especially their video player, which I’ve found historically more HTML5 friendly and more responsive than Youtube’s. So it’s impressive for them to launch a new player today that’s rebuilt from the ground up. I haven’t spent too much time with it, but so far it feels a lot speedier on startup time. Nice web integration improvements as well as noted in Vimeo’s blog post:
No more toggling into the HTML player — now everyone who has an HTML5-capable browser gets the HTML player. And when you’re in a modern browser, even if we can’t fully use HTML5, there’s a good chance you’ll get HTML controls.

The Dissolve is one of my favorite new web sites from 2013. You’ve got a powerhouse group of film writers, many plucked from the A.V. Club. A classy site design with strong typography, easily digestible articles and clear navigation. So it’s fitting that their list of the top twenty films of 2013 is excellent. I don’t agree with all the selections (I’d rank Upstream Color far lower), but it’s a good place to start for films to catch up on you may have missed from last year.

Federico Viticci over at MacStories knows his iOS apps very well. The guy oversees and has written hundreds of posts for MacStories, so we shouldn’t be surprised given the high quality of writing over there that he’s very well qualified in his opinions.
If you’re looking for some fresh apps to start the new year I can’t think of a better list to start from.

The best take down of “holiday classic” Love Actually ever. Killer work by Lindy West at Jezebel.
