The Most Efficient iPhone Developers
By Ben Lorica -
Last week marked the first time the U.S. iTunes store had over 150,000 apps available. Close to 31,000 different developers (or "sellers") were responsible for those apps, with many offering one to five apps, while a few offered over a hundred different apps.

Which developers consistently produce top-selling apps? I examined the percentage of apps produced by a developer that became best-sellers. To identify best-selling apps, I used the Top 100 Free and Top 100 Paid, and the recently launched Top 100 Grossing apps lists.

Working with Geo-Tagged Photos in iPhoto and Preview
Author John Tollett explains how to add and use location information (geo-tags), mapping your photos to show where they were taken.

Geo-tagging adds GPS location data to a photo. Software that can recognize this data can show you a map of the location where the photo was taken. After you return from traveling or hiking, for example, this location data can tell you where you were when you snapped a specific photo. If you've never geo-tagged your photos, you're missing out on some fun, interesting, and even useful stuff.

What Is Mac OS X?
OS X is often misunderstood, regarded as a pretty version of FreeBSD, a microkernel, and various other things. In this article, David Chisnall, author of Cocoa Programming Developer's Handbook, looks at what is really at the core of Apple's operating system and where it came from.

I've read lots of claims about Mac OS X. It's a Linux distribution (my personal favorite), it's just FreeBSD with a pretty window manager, it's Mach with a BSD userland, it's just something copied from NeXT. All of these contain some grains of truth, but none of them is really accurate. In this article, I'm going to take a look at exactly what OS X is and try to clear up some of the misconceptions about it.

What to Do When Your Mac's Hard Disk Runs Out of Space
Your hard drive once seemed impossibly huge, but now you're running out of room. What can you delete safely? Maria Langer helps you decide how to perform triage on both data and Mac system files.

It's happened to all of us. We buy a new computer with a hard disk so big we're convinced we could never fill it up. Six months or a year later, we wonder where all that free space went and we worry about having enough space for the next six months.

Getting Ready for Macworld Expo & Conference 2010
With Macworld Expo & Conference 2010 mere days away, it is about time to stop worrying over what it means that Apple has pulled out of the show; to put aside the discussions about how revolutionary the iPad really is; and, instead, to focus on what will be happening at Moscone Center in San Francisco next week.
