Reddit, the social news site that publishing giant Conde Nast acquired in 2006, has made a big announcement: The site's code, as of Wednesday, is open source. It's been released under the Common Public Attribution License (CPAL). "We'll leave it to the users and see what they come up with," co-founder Steve Huffman told CNET News. com in an interview when asked what the site expected would happen. But more than anything, he's hoping users will tweak some of what they want to see changed and add new features.

So Apple launched the iPhone 3G last night, and it quickly became clear that this launch was less about adding whizz-bang new features – 3G and GPS are really the only new additions – and more about selling (and this is a technical term) a shitload of iPhones. The price cut and the move to subsidised, traditional mobile phone revenue models (no revenue sharing, in other words, at least with AT&T that we know of) means that Apple's stated goal of 10 million iPhones sold in 2008 begins to look positively conservative.

Apple is rumoured to on the brink of releasing movie downloads through iTunes in the UK. According to a report by The Times newspaper, 'studio sources' have said that Apple will start selling films from four major Hollywood studios: Disney, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox and Time Warner. Some smaller studios, including Lions Gate and MGM, are also thought to be behind Apple. An official launch date isn't yet known, but sources has revealed that Apple is not looking to undercut DVD prices.
