This morning Apple announced the full return of the Developer Center, which had been shuttered for three weeks after a July 18 security breach
     |
“Here’s where it all happens for Apple developers” reads the tagline, but that’s not been the case for much of the last few weeks. This morning, Apple’s advising that its developer centre is now fully restored, after being taken offline due to intruder attempts. Hopefully for real this time. In any case, Cupertino’s offering up a month’s extended membership in return for the inconvenience, as outlined in the official statement past the break. Now, back to it…

Apple has revealed that its Developer Center website was compromised by an intruder late last week. The purported “hacker,” it turns out, was a well-meaning independent security researcher.

Apple revealed late yesterday that its Developer Center had been forced out of action by "an intruder"—but a researcher has provided evidence to confirm that the downtime was a result of his identification of a security vulnerability.

Other than what feels like a very slow pace of updates, one of our gripes with TiVo’s Premiere DVR platform has been a relative lack of new apps being released. Hopefully that could change soon, now that the company has opened up its Developer Channel to allow interested parties access to its SDK and tools to build their own apps. Although as our friend Dave Zatz points out, it doesn’t guarantee apps will be released even if certified, anyone ready to get down with TiVo’s Adobe-based environment should take a peek around. The notes do reveal some interesting details like the fact that only one app can run at a time so when an app is launched the TiVo UI is suspended, and that apps are restricted to 720p resolution only, 32MB of system memory, 20MB graphics memory and 1MB hard drive space quota. We don’t know yet what can be constructed with those tools, but go ahead — surprise us.
