A day back, some key details pertaining to the elusive MacBook Air with Retina display were made public, and accompanying the revelations, we also saw some impressive renderings that offered a visual take on the abundance of information.

In order to develop and release applications through the App Store or Mac App Store, devs must be subscribed to Apple's Developer program, which costs $99 per year in the United States. In the United Kingdom, the price has long been set at £60 per annum, which, at current exchange, is slightly cheaper than Stateside developers. However, Apple has hiked the price for some nations within the European Union, and while Brits looking to join the party will now have to pony up £79, the yearly premium has risen in Germany from €80 to €99.

Continuity in OS X Yosemite is arguably one of the best features Apple has released in a long time creating a much needed synergy between its desktop and mobile platform. One such feature that allows you to take control of your iPhone through your Mac is the ability to make phone calls directly from OS X Yosemite.
