The first alarm app for families.
As TUAW reports, it seems like Apple has updated the downloads page on Apple.com again. You know, the page that lists all the best softwares for Mac OS X and that used to be one of the best traffic sources for developers. Used to be, because some weeks ago it turned out that Apple wasn’t updating the page anymore, and developers freaked out.
Relax guys, Downloads are back.
You know, awesome stuff can be developed using modern technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3. We’ve seen excellent examples before, like the Opera icon in CSS3 or Safari running inside Safari. What about a Mac application ported to HTML5 and running within your browser?
That’s what Bastian Allgeier of Zootool has managed to do by converting Cultured Code’s Things to a HTML5 / CSS3 “webapp”.
Patently Apple has found out that Apple has filed two new trademark applications, and this time for a badge (or as the application reports, a “mark”) with the words “Made for iPhone” or “Made for iPad” on it.
New Apple’s motto? There’s a trademark for that.
Apple has been talking a lot about HTML5 and open technologies, so much that they even created a page for HTML5 iPad-ready websites and wrote a popular “blog post” about the problems of Flash as a closed platform and the need to support new standards.
But as you probably know, Apple doesn’t actually fully support HTML5 in its flagship browser, the desktop version of Safari. Indeed, Safari for Mac (and Windows) doesn’t have official and full support for many HTML5 specs like Geolocation API, Drag and Drop, Form Features and Inline SVG but according to this new email from Steve we received, all this stuff is coming.
The Nintendo geek in me can’t help but be excited with stuff like this. I mean, the iPad running a SNES emulator and controlled via a Wiimote?
Just check out the video after the break and if you haven’t, you should consider a jailbreak now.
There’s no doubt that the ABC Player application for the iPad is one of the best pieces of software on the App Store right now: you can have hundreds of episodes of popular shows streamed to your iPad for free, with some advertising here and there and an overall good looking app. It works over 3G and Wifi, all the Lost seasons and episodes are in there: basically, it’s awesome. And it turns out that ABC itself is pretty happy with the results as well.
Apple has just released a new beta of iPhone OS 4.0, and it’s available at developer.apple.com.
You can leave this page open and keep refreshing, as we’ll be updating it with all the details about this release. If you spot something new or bugs, feel free to share in the comments below.
Seriously, I had to close the Youtube page after the 5th time to stop laughing. A masterpiece.

Some rather delicious folks in Italy seem to have set up a bodega of their own. Appleecious’ own Bundleecious is here for seven days to fill our pockets with - you guessed it - more Mac software. For only $9.99 (a great deal), you can get six sweet Mac applications to add to your collection. Ten dollars for me is what it costs for a lunch outside campus, so I think I’ll be bringing some PB&J tomorrow to enjoy my new shwag.
