<p>On a regular basis, <em>Apple World Today</em> posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they're popular and deserve mention. Here are today's picks.</p>
<p>OWC has introduced the OWC miniStack, an external hard drive with USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectivity designed to stack perfectly with Mac mini (at least someone still love the tiny Mac).

<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">More individuals and companies are realizing the health, comfort and productivity of "standing desks."

<p>I wasn’t totally disappointed with today’s “hello, again” event (the new Mac laptops do look cool), but I wasn’t as thrilled as I should have been.
