Intel AppUp Bids Adieu
Posted in: Today's Chili
Intel has decided to close the doors to AppUp, and here is what they had to say about the situation. “At Intel, we’re always thinking about the future, which often means making changes today. That’s why, on March 11th, 2014, Intel AppUp center will come to a close as we focus on developing new and exciting PC innovations that will continue to shape your world. As excited as we are about the future projects, we know AppUp is important to you. For questions about AppUp‘s closure, please visit our updated FAQ section with links to guided support to answer your questions.” You will be able to drop by the FAQ page if you have any further questions or want to know more about the situation. First launched in 2010, the AppUp store was meant to be a Windows app superstore to help out the likes of Ultrabooks, and manufacturers can choose to pre-install it in Atom-powered PCs. Unfortunately, it looks like there isn’t enough momentum to carry AppUp through the years, which has led to such a situation.

Some games just play a whole lot better on the tablet compared to a smartphone, for the very simple fact that the tablet has a far larger viewing real estate. Of course, it also helps that with more screen space to look at, programmers and game developers are able to cram in a whole lot more stuff inside. Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition is a classic that has finally made its way to the iPad via the Apple App Store, and not only that, Android tablet owners can also whoop with joy since an Android version is also in the pipeline.

Apple To Refund Minimum Of $32.5 Million Because Of Disputed App Purchases By Kids
Posted in: Today's Chili
Apple is a company that is flush with cash, that is for sure, and a whole lot of it had to do with Steve Jobs and Jony Ive’s genius when they churned out hit after hit, turning the company around. Another huge cash cow for Apple would be their App Store, whose downloads have already topped the $10 billion mark. Surely with that many transactions having happened, there must be some dispute or two in the past? Apparently, so, as we have gotten wind that Apple will be paying out at least $32.5 million to settle a longstanding complaint that involves the billing of US consumers for charges that were incurred by little ones via mobile apps, as those transactions happened without their parents’ consent.

A lot of apps, services, and sites make it easy for people to share their thoughts, experiences, and stories with their networks and with the world.
Realized something that changed your life for the better? Blog about it. Heard about a great deal at a local restaurant? Post an update on Facebook to let your friends know. Got the bag that you’ve wanted for the longest time? Post on Instagram and show the world your awesome stuff.
But if you want to keep track of your days and want to keep it a bit more private, then you can check out Bokeh. It’s a mobile blogging app that was created by Michael Zhang, who’s the founder of PetaPixel.
Bokeh is different from typical blogging services because, as Zhang explains, it’s “designed to be more for remembering than broadcasting.” I suppose you can think of it as a digital diary of sorts.
Users can choose to protect their blogs with a password or make them available to the world. It’s essentially targeted for on-the-go bloggers so you can post updates and record special events quickly and easily, and it features a clean and easy-to-use interface.
Bokeh can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for free. An Android version is also in the works.

Apple has made quite a name for itself not only in terms of hardware, but their App Store, too, has raked in plenty of dough along the way. In fact, Apple’s App Store template has been followed by other companies too, albeit with different names, and to various degrees of success. Well, we now know that Apple has achieved yet another milestone where their App Store downloads are concerned – surpassing the $10 billion mark, now how about that? In a nutshell, iOS device owners downloaded close to three billion apps in December alone, with developers earning $8 billion throughout 2013, leaving Apple with a cool $2 billion or so in profit.
According to Cupertino, App Store users who have downloaded nearly three billion apps in December last year also made December the most successful month for the app repository. The success of the App Store is a constant one, with the total number of apps available for iOS devices continues to move upward. Right now, Apple’s App Store is available in 155 countries, which oversees more than one million apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod and, not to mention half a million native iPad apps thrown into the mix as well. How much have you spent on the App Store to date? [Press Release]
