Iris App for iPad review: a fun way to browse Instagram on your iPad
Instagram may not have a native app available on the iPad, but Iris App is here to fill that void. You may not be able to upload photos to the popular photo sharing service, but Iris App does allow you to browse your feed, featured photos, “like” and comment photos, and more.

Last week, during Apple’s Q2 2012 financial results conference call, CEO Tim Cook said that, in terms of sales, the iPad achieved in just 2 years what took the iPhone 3 years, the iPod 5 years, and the Mac 20+ years.

How to use iCloud like a Dropbox or Google Drive-style cloud store
While Apple never meant iCloud to work like Dropbox or Google Drive, if you don’t mind polishing up your ninja-skills you can get it to do just that!

Apple’s new iCloud isn’t meant to be online storage at all; it’s designed to abstract away messy concepts like file systems and folders and tuck everything away neatly behind apps. Did you know, however, that you can also (with a little tweaking) upload movies, audio files and pictures to store in iCloud for safe keeping?

Australia Parliament investigating why Apple’s digital goods cost more down under
The standing committee on infrastructure and communications in the Australian House of Representatives will be launching an investigation into why digital goods (such as iTunes music and iBooks) are priced so much more highly in Australia than elsewhere in the world. Traditionally, shipping costs drove prices up for physical goods, but for electronic files you’re downloading, there’s really no good reason for such a price disparity.
