Apple’s App Store was launched exactly three years ago on 10th July, 2008 with an update to iTunes.

If you're using an older Mac with a traditional Trackpad or a regular mouse without multi-touch support, you might want to restore the old behavior. Thankfully, there's a way.

Those familiar with Mac OS X are probably aware of the platform's major flaw when it comes to media playback: there's no official Blu-ray support. Despite many requests for it to be supported, Steve Jobs has long dismissed it as a "bag of hurt", and therefore no Mac ships with Blu-ray drives or Blu-ray playback software. Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player will change all that: introducing the first Blu-ray player for Mac OS X!
