Apple Adds Editors’ Choice and App Of The Week To Mac App Store and iTunes
Finding some of the best apps on the Apple App Store can be rather difficult. This is why Apple acquired Chomp. Apple has also launched a new section called for iTunes and the Mac App Store called “Editors’ Choice.” The current Editors’ Choice on the iTunes is Cobook, Facebook Camera, Extreme Skater, Air Mail, and Sketchbook Ink. As part of the “app of the week” series, Apple has made Cut The Rope: Experiments free. The Amazon Appstore is known for offering apps for free at a heavy discount, promotional discounts for iOS and the Mac App Store are up to the developer. To my understanding, if a developer significantly reduces their price as requested by Apple, they would be given 100% of the revenue rather than the typical 70-30 split.

Requiem App Removes Fairplay DRM From iBooks
The Apple iBooks Digital Rights Management (DRM) copy protection has been cracked by the first time. The The Requiem app has been known for being able to remove Fairplay DRM from music and videos sold via iTunes. Now it has the ability to remove the DRM from iBooks e-books. This allows iBooks to be downloaded from iTunes and can be used on other devices besides the iBooks app on iOS devices. Most likely Apple will respond by adding patches to the hack through iTunes updates. [The Verge]
