Apple Lease With MTA Under Review

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple News" @ 02:00 AM

"Following yesterday's report from the New York Post detailing Apple's lease with the MTA for their new Grand Central retail store, State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli plans on looking into the deal and ensuring 'MTA hasn't given away the store'."

Well, charging $60 per square foot when the going rate is $200 per square foot would lead one to believe they are getting one heckuva deal wouldn't it? However apparently that is only for the first year and over the life of the least the average is $180 per square foot, so I guess it isn't too far off, but in light of questionable practices by the MTA, they are going ahead with the investigation into the lease.

New York City Mobile App Contest

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 02:15 PM

http://mashable.com/2011/07/12/mta-app-contest/

"The past two years, New York City has hosted contests for mobile apps that use city data. Now New York State's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is launching a similar contest of its own."

According to the contest page, it is pretty much open to any application in any language that will run on laptops, desktops, mobile devices, etc. The prizes are nothing to sneeze at, with $5,000.00 USD as the top prize (along with some Apple gear so they might be biased a bit towards iOS). So if you want to get in on it, head over to the contest page and enter.
