    "What is it: AirPrint Activator v2.0 is the next generation software that will be compatible with OSX Lion. It is a complete re-write of the original v1 version and no longer depend on Apple's support of AirPrint inside the OS. What that mean is that even if Apple remove support for AirPrint in future OSX update it will keep running."

  • Interactive eBooks is a category for apps designed specifically to utilize the powers of tablets to enable users to interact with the storyline in sight, sound, and touch.
  • On a touch device, interactivity is the ability to engage with the user interface, including the ways you move your fingers on the screen, the way you to select an app, or how you browse the Web.

      I think this is an important clarification. From an educators standpoint, we want interactivity to enhance comprehension and help students understand what the story is about.
  • Although these activities through the 52 pages of the book are fun, I think they distract from the actual story.
  • It is possible for interactivity to go beyond the superficial, to add value to the book and create an experience that would be impossible in print.
  • they are about adding value through interactivity by using the full capabilities of a touch device to engage the user and enhance the learning and reading experience. These engaging experiences are what I call a true reinvention of reading.

venomous porridge - The Unprecedented Audacity of the iBooks Author EULA - 2 views

  • Apple is trying to establish a rule that whatever I create with this application, if I sell it, I have to give them a cut.
  • In ensuring that the App Store remains the only legitimate market for iOS apps, Apple doesn’t claim any legal rights to the content I create using its Xcode toolset. Instead, they enforce technical restrictions; apps must be cryptographically signed by Apple in order to run on unaltered iOS devices.
