Gourmet was one of the more heartbreaking causalities of the Condé Nast's purge last fall. But now the beloved food mag is back as Gourmet Live, a beautiful iPad app that's filled with great foodie content, new and old.
Social news app Flipboard was yesterday's hot new app, despite—or perhaps because of—technical problems that prevented some features from working. But there might be a bigger snag: Is Flipboard scraping content it doesn't have the rights to?
