Is Apple biased with big firms?

Electronic Arts is one of the big game players in the world. Is that why Apple is cutting them some slack? When Apple was cleansing their App Store from porn or any App that came close to being porn, they continued with Playboy and Swimsuit Calendar Apps.

EA Games are not cheap. Their games costs anywhere from $1-$6 for iPhone/iPod and $6-$15 for iPad. Do they expect users to buy their same game apps every year? FIFA 09, 10, 11, 12 ... when will it end. Shouldn't they give them out as a free upgrade? It's not that we bought the older version for 99c.

Well, it's for every iPhone/iPod/IPad user to decide. Those who are born with silver spoon in their mouth can go here and check out their summer launches ....

MarsEdit 3 - Sends your wallet to Mars

Finally spent $40 on this Blogging application for my Mac. MarsEdit3 seems to have a good reputation. Only time will tell how much will I be using it. It's not the first time I have spent on something I have hardly used. So technically if it gets me to publish 40 blogs, I would consider it money well spent.

Over the next few weeks, I will be looking at different blogs to try and come up with ideas on what to write. I am a self proclaimed geek so technology would be one area I can go on and on. Football (Soccer for guys in the US) is my passion. I can talk about that as well.

Hope the guilt of spending $40 will force me to write something everyday.

Till next time!
