Evidently Apple will be.. making some of its most popular paid apps free to Apple Employees this holiday season. If you’re an Apple Employee that’s just coming on board, not to worry – they’ll likely have a promo code for you too. On another note, Apparently over the weekend (Saturday, November 17th) there were some Fake ‘Apple’ apps that appeared on Google Play. I guess it just goes to show how easy it is to get an App on the Google Play Store. Seriously, if your App got rejected on Google Play I can’t imagine what that says about its quality. ..Back to what happened. For...

Last week as one of my 5 Best Apps of the week.. I featured an App called “MobAdWin“. To remind you, MobAdwin is an app that rewards users (in cash) for viewing,rating, and providing feedback to the advertisers/business owners ads they see. THIS WEEK. Mobee, a new startup based in Boston has just came out of private beta, and is backed by $1.1million in seed funding. While the round has attracted numerous investors from all areas including: IBM, Pinterest, JumpTap, and the like.. That is not the point of todays article.

Earlier last week.. I wrote an Article about the possibility of the new apple iMacs possibly being delayed until next year due to welding and assembly issues. Sources via 9to5 say that Apple has already begun shipping the new 21.5″ iMacs to distribution hubs across the United States and several other countries across the world. The same sources expect the 21.5″ iMacs to be available to order online via Apple’s online store by the end of the month. The 27-incher also appears to still be launching next month in December and there is a large probability of both of them appearing on the Apple Online Store at the same time....

It’s funny how I was just talking to my friend Isaac about this just yesterday. Basically what I was saying was.. “I think that it’s such an exciting time to be alive, and especially in the mobile/app industry – and honestly, I think that the App Industry is really where the future of job creation will be.” #1 ..after reading a recent stat by the folks over at W3i it appears that the “App Economy” has actually ALREADY created nearly 500,000 jobs in the US since the inception of the industry back in 07′ Not to mention that developers (programmers/coders) are among the highest paid jobs. According to...
