I read David Pogue‘s latest article in the NYTimes regarding extending your battery life with a lot of interest. There are some mistakes in the article, particularly on how one can actually prevent apps from staying in the background by killing them – Pogue has requested the NYTimes people to amend his article.
What got me more interested was the fact that quite a lot of people don’t really understand how multitasking on iOS 4 works. One of the main reasons was the way Apple (and most likely Steve Jobs) dictated how multitasking should work on their mobile operating system.

A group of independent iPhone developers have banded together to bring the world a little bit of holiday cheer. Apps have been heavily discounted as a gift to all iPhone and iPod touch users! These applications will be discounted for at least 48 hours from December 31st 2009 to January 1st 2010.
It’s Tuesday again! Let’s head over to the iTunes Store and see what’s available for download, FREE!
Owl City’s Fireflies is this week’s free Single of the Week download. Owl City is the stage name of Adam Young, a Minnesota native plinking out dreamy tunes that meander down clever lyrical sidestreets. Fireflies melds a partly-cloudy-with-a-chance-of-clearing attitude to a trance-pop beat. The result: an invigorating, feel-good electro-pop experience. Young has a bit of Death Cab for Cutie in his vocal timbre that, when pressed up against a synthesized beat, is so effervescent it could levitate Stonehenge. Fireflies appears on Owl City’s latest album, Ocean Eyes. Make sure to check out this album, available now exclusively on iTunes for the next two weeks for just $7.99, once you sampled the free track.
