Free Apps

Ten free apps at iTunes

On most birthdays the honorees receive gifts, but on the App Store's fifth anniversary (has it been only five years?) Apple is giving away ten of its most popular paid Apps. Your humble observer couldn't resist downloading two games, Badland and Infinity Blade 2, plus Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. Unlike supposedly "free" games that force the player to buy upgrades, weapons, chips, etc. with real money in order to advance ("in-app purchases"), these games don't have that feature.

I was going to hit the ground running at the beginning of 2013's second half, but I guess I'll have to put that off for another week....
