iAd’s Hopefully Long Future ⇥ david-smith.org
David Smith:
I certainly hope iAd stays around. After a very bumpy start it has stabilized into a very solid platform that serves its intended goal of providing a native mechanism for making money in free apps. In fact, the performance of iAd has grown so solid over the past 6 months or so that I recently dropped all other advertising platforms from Audiobooks (previously I’ve integrated with MobClix, Admob, and Adsense).
That’s certainly surprising, given the number of stories predicting its demise. It’s still an odd business for Apple to be in—they hate ads. Via Marco Arment.
A Tale of Two Cryptographically Signed OSes ⇥ minimalmac.com
Patrick Rhone:
Two companies. Two effectively identical approaches to improved security. But, here is a thought that struck me…
The difference is that nobody really expects to run anything but iOS on a iPhone or iPad so this level of security is welcome (or, even better, expected) where as some PC users often can’t wait to get rid of Windows and install something else so, thus, the ire from Free/Open advocates like Cory.
