Apple pulls iPhoto and Aperture from Mac App Store

With Photos for OS X now live, it's inevitable that Apple is pulling two of its photo-related apps. True enough, iPhoto and Aperture have been taken out of the Mac App Store. If you already have Aperture on your Mac, you'll still be able to use it. But that won't be getting any updates.  

What do you get with Photos for OS X then? The app is middle ground for both iPhoto and Aperture. It lets you browse through your photo gallery while offering some editing tools. But if you expect an extensive editing tool suite, sadly, you won't get that here.

With Game of Thrones being one of the hottest shows out there, it's no surprise that leaks of the first four episodes are online ahead of the simultaneous airing of the show. According to TorrentFreak, "The leaked episodes, which appear to come from review copies sent to the press, have been downloaded more than 100,000 times in just three hours."
