The popular Pulse News Reader for iPad and iPhone is now being offered free in the App Store. In case you don’t know what this app does; Pulse news reader is the very popular RSS reader that gives you all your favorite website’s info on one page and with style.

This reader is very interactive and fun to use for your daily reads. I can’t believe it’s available for FREE now after all those downloads and publicity the company decided to release it to users free of charge.

Apple has informed developers that iTunes Connect will be temporarily closed from December 23rd to December 28th.

I’m sure it will piss off a lot of developers, but I guess thats one of the drawbacks of being an Apple developer, you are on Apple’s leash at all times and have to do what they say.

I think the bad thing about this closing is the fact that developers will not be able to make any changes to their apps while the iTunes Connect is down so if something goes wrong with one of their apps, the developer will have to wait until December 28th to fix any issues.

This does not affect app consumers in anyway but as I stated above, since the iTunes Connect service will be unavailable  it will not allow developers to make changes to or submit any new apps during that time frame. Read more…

Rémi Denis-Courmont, one of the primary developers of VLC, explained to MacStories that Apple’s iTunes Terms and Conditions don’t allow users to install both free and paid apps on more than 5 devices. This goes against the original GNU license VLC’s code is based on. Read more…

During the Apple’s October Back to the Mac Event Apple gave a sneak peek of Mac OS X Lion, the eighth major release of the company’s operating system. Shipping next summer, Lion is inspired by many of iPad’s software innovations.

Today’s sneak peek highlighted just a few of Lion’s features, including the Mac App Store, a new way to discover, install and automatically update desktop apps; Launchpad, a new home for all of your Mac apps; system-wide support for full screen apps; and Mission Control, which unifies Exposé, Dashboard, Spaces and full screen apps into an innovative new view of everything running on your Mac, and allows you to instantly navigate anywhere.
