Related Posts:Weekend Poll: Should Apple ditch year branding for its iLife and iWork software?
According to Apple, “Pages ’09 is both a streamlined word processor and an easy-to-use page layout application. It allows you to be a writer one minute and a designer the next, always with a perfect document in the works.”
Pages ’09 was last updated on December 4, 2012. It is a vital, active and very much alive product, even in the early days of 2013.
In the years before online distribution was practical, Apple operated in a world of CD and DVD distribution. Every year or two, they’d issue a new iLife or iWork release, appending the year to mark it out as a refreshed product.
Disc is dead. Isn’t it time for Apple to drop the year branding? After all, they’ve already moved past that kind of version-specific issue with newer apps like iBooks Author. In its second release, iBooks Author 2 is promoted on Apple’s site simply as “iBooks Author.” No “2.” The version is irrelevant.
What do you think? Should Apple walk away from its year branding? Drop your vote into this poll and then join in the comments with your thoughts.

Apple on Friday sent out emails to former MobileMe members, informing them that their previous subscription-based allotment of storage will continue until September 30, 2013.
An iPad carrying the never-before-seen “iPad3,6″ designation was reportedly discovered by an app developer in his app analytics log, with the purported device running what looks to be an ARMv7 processor, the same architecture used in Apple’s A6 SoC.

Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition headed to Mac
Feral Interactive has a lot of expertise bringing PC games to the Mac, but they haven’t quite figured out how to do it quickly yet. Batman: Arkham City was one of the biggest console hits of last year, but Feral Interactive is only now releasing it on the Mac. The game’s going to be available in November, so if you haven’t played it yet and you’ve been waiting for the Mac version, the wait isn’t quite over.
There is a bright side, at least: This will be the Game of the Year Edition, which means that all of the downloadable content will be included — the Catwoman content that came with the game plus the Harley Quinn’s Revenge pack. The game features an open-world environment, lots of thugs to beat up with a really fun combat system and plenty of cameos from your favorite Batman characters. Arkham City’s a great game, and it’ll be nice to finally have it on the Mac, but man, it would have been even better to get it a little sooner than November.

Twitter user @mgleet tipped me off that Apple appears to have bumped his iCloud storage plan to 25 GBs until the year 2050. Multiple people here at TUAW are seeing the same plan bumps, though none of us has upgraded our plans, not to mention paid 38 years in advance.
Apple has been known to offer cloud storage upgrades for free in the past when their online services didn’t live up to expectations (MobileMe). Could this be a way Apple is apologizing for the Maps debacle?
To check to see what your storage plan is, go to Settings>iCloud>Account on your iOS device. Free 20GB storage upgrades for previous MobileMe members are set to expire today, but currently a bunch of us are seeing that those plans are now set to expire September 30, 2050.
It’s possible this could be a bug on Apple’s end as they transition MobileMe members down from the 25 GB plan to the 5 GB plan, though it’s October 1st in New Zealand and one of our writers there is reporting he’s still on the free 25 GB plan, which should have ended at 11:59PM September 30 New Zealand time. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we hear more information.
