Apple on a “Seek and Extinguish” Mission for All the “Cookie Cutter” Apps
I don’t blame them! Seems like Apple is cracking down on some of the applications on the App Store that…really…serve no purpose as a native app (which I won’t hesitate to mention some, and they are from major groups), by which much of the function of those apps can be overachieved as a web-app. According to TechCrunch and the recent reports they have been receiving from devs, they have been putting the pieces together and coming up with the concurrence that Apple doesn’t mind the companies that appear to be “app generators”, so to speak, however, they don’t want people downloading applications that a basic web-app could more than suffice for.
Apple Adding a “Explicit” Category in the App Store?
Well, if you haven’t heard already, Apple recently added a new category to the App Store labeled as “explicit”…and then…took it down. It seems as though Apple created the “explicit” category in the App Store to house some of the content of its massive early spring cleaning of applications (some 5,000+ apps!) that were determined by the App Store rating team as “overtly sexual” due to some complaints made by some people who apparently found the content objectionable (which most of the stuff was pretty subtle, but hey, I’m one person…) and some parents who were concerned about the content being looked at by the younger people of the world (which is understandable, but that’s why there’s parental controls on the iPhone.
What Platform Downloads the Most Apps? Just Guess.
Seems like more users of iPhone OS use their applications more than any other user on any other platform (who could’ve figured that?!), that is, according to AdMob’s recent research. Comparing the iPhone OS to Android and webOS, the chart reads that over 70% more of iPhone users download apps to their pocket computer opposed to what the Android platform is putting out.
Get Organized with Things
There are a lot of To-Do lists in the App store, many are free and many have a lot of features, some cost a bit of money and some are free. Things is among that list of To-Do list Apps, it is a simple yet in-depth program that allows for neat organization, and simplicity. There are a lot of To-Do lists that have many advanced features, and next to no features but things is crafted in such a way which makes it extremely easy to use.

Can the iPhone become “the paperless magazine”?
The paperless society is an interesting concept. It’s been around long enough that we’ve all gotten used to it, but in the grand scheme of things it’s still a fairly modern invention. 10 years ago it was commonplace to visit an office that still posted paper memos on a bulletin board in the cafeteria or to have a boss that preferred using a fax machine to sending a quick email. Those days, it would seem, are far behind us.
