Silvio Rizzi made the iPad and Mac versions of Reeder free to use in the wake of Google’s plans to shut down Google Reader, but he left the iPhone app at its usual $3 price — and its fate in the air.

Skype video messaging officially launches on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android — but not Windows Phone
Posted in: Today's Chili
Out of beta and free, Skype today launches its video messaging service across all its major platforms. Previously, video missives were limited to 20 free attempts during early testing, but free on premium subscriptions. You can now send unlimited video messages to your Skype contacts on Windows 8, Windows desktop or Mac, while mobile options encompass iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

We’re about to see another of Apple’s big experiments, and this time it’s pro-users who are under the microscope. The test machine: the Mac Pro 2013.
