MacRumors reports that Apple bought Dark Sky. This has to be great news for the developers. I remember finally springing for the app after hearing good things about it; we were on a family vacation in Ocean City, NJ, and sitting in the car parked a few blocks from their famous boardwalk while rain poured down in buckets.

We were just about to head back to the beach house we were staying at when I opened the App Store and purchased Dark Sky. It reported that the rain would stop in something precise, like seven minutes.

And it did, indeed, stop raining. We waited and clambered out of the car, and enjoyed a great afternoon, as they say, on the boards.
