Back in October I wrote a post about 9 Beta applications for Mac OS X you should check out and, guess what, Droplr was in. Droplr has been an invite-only app / service for a long time, one of those apps people never stopped searching for an invite as rumor was “Droplr is freakin’ awesome”. I was in the private / beta testing group of the application and it surely was a great, easy to use app, seamlessly integrated with Mac OS X. Yesterday Droplr 1.0 finally landed and here’s why you should go download it now.
Droplr Finally Goes Public. Reviewed.

Reeder Goes 1.2. Gets Twitter and Pinboard Support, Lots of Refinements
One month ago I wrote that Reeder was the new best RSS reader for iPhone. Then, some people started criticizing my review, telling me that Newsstand was way better than Reeder: it had more features, better stability and - this is weird - better support from the developer. Now, with the latest 1.2 update that went live last night I’d like to say it once again: Reeder is the best RSS app for iPhone.
Here’s why.
Apple Files Countersuit Against Nokia
“According to Apple, Nokia is infringing on 13 of its patents. Apple’s lawyer was very blunt in his statement concerning the case.
