You need to be a registered iOS dev to do that. It's free though

I saw this info before posting here, but I am not sure if it is a good option.
I do not own an iphone, and I cannot understand what it says about source code.
Is this possible? To have the source code of every iphone app I want to run?
Maybe if I was an iphone owner I would know the answer.
So, I just want to run some iphone apps, free or commercial.
Do they come with their source code?

The simulator is for running applications that you yourself are developing. It does not allow the running of apps from the store. Apps do not come with source code: this is the proprietary information of the developer. No developer will give you their source code.
There is no way to run iOS apps from the store on a Mac.

Why? Will it include a dynamic binary translation engine to all ARM targeted code to run on x86 CPUs?

I think he means that perhaps a lot of developers will not just up their app from iphone to ipad, but also to the mac itself. unifying their programs.

Which won't be a trivial task because the APIs of iOS are not compatible with those of OS X -- unless, of course, Apple is going to port Cocoa Touch and all that other iOS-related stuff to Lion. And that, in turn, wouldn't make much sense because His Steveness already preached that Macs are no good touch devices.
