Gamecenter doesn't make the iOS 4.0 cut
Truth be told, we’ve been rocking the iOS 4 GM since last week so we can’t confirm this locally. However, lots of people are saying that Gamecenter didn’t make the iOS 4 cut. Apple said Gamecenter was due in “Fall” and didn’t mention it at WWDC so it isn’t surprising to see it missing.
Because of this, the iOS download sizes have changed even though Apple says the OS is the same build. It will be interesting to see if Gamecenter makes the initial iPhone 4 build or if it is released all products at a later time.
That means we’re keeping our Gamecenter versions of the iPhone 4 GM for now. Contact your friendly neighborhood developer for yours.

Watch out for spyware installed in free downloads (updated: mostly screensavers from 7art)
We usually dismiss security warnings from anti-virus companies because they are just plays to get Mac users to buy their software. This latest one from Intego might, however, be of concern to a few of you out there.
Description: Intego has discovered a spyware application that is installed by a number of freely distributed Mac applications and screen savers found on a variety of websites. This spyware, OSX/OpinionSpy, performs a number of malicious actions, from scanning files to recording user activity, as well as sending information about this activity to remote servers and opening a backdoor on infected Macs. OSX/OpinionSpy is installed by a number of applications and screen savers that are distributed on sites such as MacUpdate, VersionTracker and Softpedia. The spyware itself is not contained in these applications, but is downloaded during the installation process.
Intego sells its Mac anit-virus software for $50 or there are many free anti-Virus software apps available like ClamAV.
The information provided with some of these applications contains a misleading text that users must accept explaining that a

'iTunes Live' trademarked for live shows, Cloud?
TechCrunch notes that Apple has applied for the trademark ‘iTunes Live’ with the above image representing the trademark. The service would comprise the following areas, according to the application:
– Online retail store services in the field of entertainment featuring prerecorded musical, audio and audiovisual content
– Entertainment services, namely, arranging and conducting of concerts and live musical performances
Apple most likely owns iTunesLive.com as well (Mark Monitor is Apple’s 3rd party registrar of choice), so there could very easily be a Cloud component to this as well.
The moniker can already be seen on a few iTunes releases including the iTunes Live in Soho, below.
