If your iTunes library happens to be in disarray, with incorrect ID3 tags, missing artist names and album art, then you might be happy to know that there’s an app that can add all those in for you automatically. Pollux, whilst previously free, had to be shut down because the services it used could not endure all the queries made to their servers. However, it returns today with a nominal fee of $10/year. Not bad for keeping your music library updated with the correct song, artist, album, and other metadata names, along with the lyrics and album art. A trial to tag 20 songs is available as a download on the Pollux website; feel free to try out its accuracy for yourself.

With over 140 iPhone and Mac developers participating in Indie+Relief, exactly $143,872 dollars was raised for Haiti in just 24 hours—making it a huge success. A full list of the sold apps and participating developers are still available on their site. A special thanks to both Garrett Murray and Justin Williams, who made the whole thing possible.
Apple didn’t meet its target date to bring Windows 7 support to Boot Camp by the end of 2009, but now that it’s out who really minded the delay? Quoted from macnn:
Apple has released several Boot Camp and firmware updates designed for 64-bit or 32-bit versions of Windows 7. Boot Camp 3.1 adds full support for Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate. The update addresses issues involving trackpads and the red LED for digital audio, while the company’s wireless keyboard and Magic mouse are also now supported. For users planning to transition from Windows Vista to 7, a separate utility ensures that the Macintosh volume will safely unmount on Vista.

I’ve been waiting for this one for a while. Note-taking, scrapbooking, journaling and general information manager Thoughts by Green and Slimy software has been finally released for the price of €24. It’s been in private beta up until now, with access only to those that had pre-ordered. What distinguishes Thoughts from most other note-taking software is its delicious and very user-friendly interface. If you’ve been looking for something like this, give the demo a try.

Well now that I’ve caught your attention, I should point out that the title was a teensy bit misleading. If you go here on your iPhone (or on your computer) you will see a nice little animation. But don’t be fooled, that’s not Flash, it’s Gordon. In other words, its an open source Flash runtime written in JavaScript, and iPhones can run JavaScript just fine.
