+ - iPhone App Review Time Suddenly 24 Hours->

Submitted by Slur
Slur (61510) writes "The Apple iTunes Music Store approval process is notorious for being dog-slow, frustrating, and opaque. But millions of iPhone developers received an unexpected gift Monday afternoon when iTunes Connect reopened after a 5 day holiday break. While the stockings were hung by the chimney with care, Apple stealthily deployed an expanded army of reviewers and instituted a more streamlined review and approval process for iPhone apps. The approval time for updates to existing apps has plummeted from 6 days typically to less than 24 hours. Even more positive reports from developers are coming in, with apps going into review within minutes of submission and being approved in as little as 20 hours."

+ - Is 2010 (finally) the year of the Mac?-> 2

Submitted by GMGruman
GMGruman (1254692) writes "It's almost a pathetic assertion: "This year, the Mac will break out of its ghetto and become a mainstream computer for individuals and businesses alike." That unfulfilled desire is foretold every year and has been since the mid-1980s, when Apple's then-groundbreaking computer was quickly sidelined by the IBM PC and, later, Microsoft Windows. So will 2010 be any different? Is it just Mac fans pining for validation who will claim that this year is the year of the Mac? Maybe, but there are signs that this time they may be right. However, there are also signs that they're wrong — again. This article lays out the arguments for why 2010 will be the breakout year for the Mac going mainstream — and the arguments for what could prevent it."

SEWilco (27983) writes "The phrase "Slashdot effect" is now part of the English language, according to the English TV show "Countdown". The Internet also added paywall, unfriend/defriend, tag cloud, hashtag and tweetup to the language, while that real-world thing added epigenome, ecohacking, phantonym, redact, and zombie bank."

But is it legal? "Actually, yes," says Vale. "Our research qualifies as GMO 'intellectual property', as does the process itself. Since tomatoes and other plants are not illegal, a person would be well within the law to grow them and use them as they please.""
