Comments Off on Apple’s A6 uses in-house CPU design

Comments Off on Twitter for Mac development is done
Well this blows. Twitter for Mac, which is essentially Tweetie for Mac developed by Loren Brichter before it was acquired by Twitter will no longer see any new releases, this according to a tweet from MG Siegler about a week ago.
