Of course, it may have something to do with the free aspect of the tech sessions. Plus, [...]

Remember when NullRiver’s NetShare iPhone app disappeared from the iTunes App Store? It was the iPhone app that provided a means to tether a computer to the iPhone for Internet access via the iPhone’s data transmissions. After it was released on July 31, 2008, it was available on the App Store for several minutes before [...]
