As we wave goodbye to the week that was, it’s time to take a look at the latest iPhone recommendations from the App Store. This week I’ve been looking at Comics, Coat Hangr, Coins and Album Shuffle.

Weekly App Store Picks: Aug. 22, 2009
The open-source project team that released Sequel Pro 0.95 three months ago has just released 0.96 . The update adds polish to the application, making working with it more pleasurable — if you can ever call working with databases pleasurable

Since updating to iPhone OS 3.0 on my iPod touch, the icons of some apps periodically get replaced with a faded version of another app’s icon, or with a strange combination of multiple images. Others don’t have an icon at all.

I was changing something in System Preferences on a friend’s Mac a while back and stopped for a second to consider the “Other” section and the lonely little Logitech Controller that was in there all by itself. Not many applications install to the “Other” section of System Preferences and this got me wondering about what I had gathered in my section over time, and more interestingly, what other Mac enthusiasts had in theirs

The seeding yesterday by Apple of version 10A433 of Snow Leopard, which is presumed the Golden Master edition of the upcoming OS iteration, has led many to believe that Cupertino will be pushing the official launch date of the software up. The official line was, and always has been, that Apple would ship 10.6 on an unspecified date in September, but many Apple news and rumor sites are reporting that the date will in fact be much earlier, according to their various sources. While there is some speculation that Snow Leopard could be arriving as early as Aug.
Less than a week after sending a letter to Daring Fireball’s John Gruber concerning the application review process at the App Store, Phil Schiller, the senior VP at Apple, is at it again. This time, the recipient of the letter was Panic co-founder Steven Frank.

I’m a huge fan of Cultured Code’s Things (both on the desktop and iPhone). A few weeks ago, I sent them what I thought to be a simple question: “Can I sync Things on the iPhone with two different desktops?” I’m giving some thought to getting a netbook and hackintoshing it and was curious if I could sync Things with it and my MacBook.

Just over a month since Safari 4.0.2 made its way into Software Update, Safari 4.0.3 has arrived for Mac and Windows. The update weighs in at 40.5MB and will require a restart. In addition to the boiler plate “improvements to stability, compatibility and security,” Safari 4.0.3 purports to address: Stability improvements for webpages that use the HTML 5 video tag Fixes an issue that prevented some users from logging into iWork.com Fixes an issue that could cause web content to be displayed in greyscale instead of color Additionally, security content includes several fixes relating to visiting a “maliciously crafted website” where unexpected arbitrary code execution hijinks may ensue

Tonight Apple will produce its first-ever live event streamed to the iPhone: a concert by the electronica band Underworld . Apple has apparently kept the event quiet as it doesn’t want to overwhelm the AT&T network, but if you have an iPhone you can queue it up yourself at iphone.akamai.com or underworldlive.com .
