Netflix did not say how much it plans to charge for the service.
I’ve been streaming Netflix content all weekend long. Let’s hope this doesn’t mean that the $7.99 plan will cease to be in Puerto Rico (via Gabriel Pagan).

The time is finally here: Netflix Watch Instantly, the video streaming service, is now available in Puerto Rico. One of the very first posts in this website was regarding the unavailability of Netflix in Puerto Rico, as you may remember. We can now put that issue to rest, as Netflix sent out an email to all of its Puerto Rico customers, announcing the fact that Watch Instantly is now available again.
I’ve been testing Objectify for the last few weeks, and I’m happy to see it available now on the Mac App Store.

Objectify is an indispensable addition to an Objective-C programmer’s toolbelt. It’s pretty simple, actually: feed it some JSON, and it will spit out a set of classes all ready to handle that JSON. Be it for quick prototyping, or for actual use in your app, this effectively saves you all the time it would take you to wire up your base classes. It’s simple but tedious work that can now be taken care of with a few clicks.
Objectify has quickly found a spot in my development routine. For example, I used Objectify last night to write a Wufoo forms wrapper in 20 minutes using the documentation’s sample JSON payloads. I am also using it in an upcoming app that Polsense is working on.
Get Objectify today on the MAS or buy it directly from tigerbears. You may also Objectify updates on Twitter @objectifyapp. Congrats to Bill Kunz for shipping this great app!
Two big releases this week. Liberty Cablevision has launched their new iPhone app, which was developed in partnership with Polsense. I’m really proud of what we’ve done with this app, from start to finish.
I’ve also been working nights and weekends on another app that saw the light this week: EyeTour. From the makers of Puerto Rico’s premier video guide, the EyeTour iPhone app helps you explore the island of Puerto Rico on the go.
Both projects have been a huge part of my life for the last year. I hope you enjoy them. There’s more coming real soon. Polsense has been working on another iOS application for the last six weeks, but we are not ready to say more at the moment. I’m also working on another iOS app, which reminds me: TEDxSanJuan will take place this Fall. We’re working on getting the final website up and running, but until then, TEDxSanJuan Speaker Nominations ARE OPEN.
So what’s so special about these two games now? They don’t use PhoneGap or Titanium. They don’t even use a UIWebView. Instead, they bypass the iPhone’s browser altogether and use Apple’s JavaScript interpreter (JavaScriptCore) directly. All graphics are rendered with OpenGL instead of in a browser window and all sound and music is played back with OpenAL instead of… well, having no sound at all.
OK, this is a pretty cool trick.
