Ballmer Praises Apple’s AppStore, “A Very Nice Job”
Seems like the days of the cold war between Microsoft and Apple have come to an end. Or at least, that’s what we should assume reading this article from The Seattle Times which reports that Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, called out the great work Apple has done so far with the App Store during a speeck at the University of Washington’s computer-science building.
Could this be a sign of Apple and Microsoft finalizing the details about Bing coming to the iPhone as default’s search engine? Or is Ballmer just getting older and putting the old contrasts away
I bet on Bing.
Put Core Location to use with NetworkLocation
One feature that people are often unaware of in their Macs is something called Core Location. Core Location is what automatically sets the time zones on your Mac for you when traveling around the world by looking for nearby WiFi hotspots and gathering local intel. In conjunction with Google Maps and NetworkLocation, you can establish rules that aid in automatically performing tasks when you reach your daily destinations.
Taptu, Search by Touch
Mobile browsers are usually of one breed on the iPhone. All browsers normally have an address bar, a search bar, and perhaps tabs. But asides from accessing search engines, none of them make looking for information too convenient. Taptu Search makes finding information easy because of interactive contextual touch elements.
Bills 1.1 Hits the App Store, Brings Stats and Fixes

First, the stats and totals section summarizes bills by date range, currency and categories. Also, the autopay can now be turned off for repeating bills and there’s the possibility to increase the pre-alert range to 30 days. Various fixes include UI and currency bugs.

Make your Grade with Grades. Exclusive Preview and Giveaway.
This afternoon was full of mystery and intrigue. Adventure and possibilities. Mexican and and iPhone-app’ness. Over fine Spanish cuisine, I met with iPhone developer Jeremy Olson (@jerols on Twitter – if you aren’t following him you should) who runs a great blog over at Tapity.
For a few hours, we discussed all things iPhone and iPad, covering everything from marketing, to design, to an app I’d like to share with you all today. Students rejoice, because the age old question of, “What do I need to make on my test to get an A?” has finally ben answered.
Meet Grades.
Easy Forecasts with The Weather for iPhone. Review and Giveaway.
It’s 9am in the morning here in Viterbo, Italy. It’s sunny outside, I’ve slept 5 good hours, girlfriend is still sleeping but the Espresso machine is already on ready to get rolling for some good black coffee. The day couldn’t have started better than this. Also, inbox is full and the phone doesn’t have too many missed calls. Hell, the world loves me today.
This is how I wake up pretty much everyday. I know, I have a damn good life around me. But you know, there’s something missing from the typical out-of-bed, ready-to-work workflow I described above: checking the actual weather for the day, and the upcoming days. I don’t know why, I’ve always been used to checking the forecast since I was kid; I remember that back then I watched the tv every morning before going to school, but being evolved into the perfect web 2.0 guy, the iPhone does the job quite perfectly now. And so before the making of the coffee (real espresso, not that Starbucks fake shit you americans drink) comes the “let’s check the weather” moment where I sit down, wake up the dog and fire up Outside to see what the temperature is like and what’s gonna happen during the week. Outside is a great and well designed app by Robocats, be sure to read our review if you missed it.
Today I’d like to talk about this new and simple application called “The Weather” which allows you to quickly see what the temperature’s like and get a basic forecast for the week. Also, we’ve got 9 promo codes to give away.
