The programme for developers iPhone, introduced in March last year, is expanding its horizons. After a first phase of beta testing reserved for developers only Americans, it seems that Apple begin to consider also the developers of the rest of the world. As TUAW, come news of developers British and Germans who have seen accepted his request for participation (which, remember, you pay: from $ 99 to $ 299).

It remains valid, however, the numerus clausus: Cupertino has made it clear from the outset that it had placed a limit on the total number of developers involved in this early stage, so that we can devote to each developer attention necessary.

To send its “application” is necessary to register in the sections on the portal Apple for developers. From stress that download and use Xcode is free and open to all.

2MC is a small utility that uses mouse movements to allow you to start favorite applications on your Mac. Over the years, the innovative interface devices like iPhone and iPod Touch, with the consequent mode of interaction, has strongly influenced the products Cupertino. Recently support to specific movements of the hand, the so-called gestures, was extended to trackpad MacBook Air first and MacBook Pro later.

What can we say but of all Apple products earlier? Throughout the past fleet has not been no hardware integration capabilities exist at the time of purchase.
Helping people use gestures on all our Mac, not have this feature, comes with 2MC. The software uses the mouse to recognize certain movements, which could be involved when applications frequently used.

The possibilities offered by 2MC, using the mouse goes beyond the scope of the portable computer and can also be used on all iMacs, past and present, which are obviously no trackpad.

This utility weighs less than 200 Kb and can be downloaded free at this address.
