Need a Mac App Store Alternative?

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 04:00 PM

http://www.maclife.com/article/feat...re_alternatives

"Since it was first announced during last October's Back to the Mac Event, consumers and developers alike have been alternately thrilled or worried over what Apple's online Mac App Store would mean for the future of OS X compatible software."

And today we now know what the Mac App Store is all about, but that doesn't mean you can't find other sources for your Mac software. MacUpdate and Bodega are a couple that I've used in the past, but there are several others listed here as well. What are your thoughts on these stores, have you given them a try? Or do you use one not mentioned here?

Bodega, an App Store for Your Mac

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 12:00 PM

"Apple developer IDFusion on Monday is launching Bodega, an application that brings a Mac App Store to users' desktops."

Interesting idea, and they already have 150 applications available for download at their site. They plan on getting their revenue stream from advertisers so unlike the iPhone app store, Bodega won't take a cut from the sales for developers that place their software here. The app will feature reviews of the applications, best selling apps, automatically check for updates for apps you have purchased and keep all your registration keys handy in the Bodega application. I would think the established developers would continue to use their own websites for distribution but this might be a pretty good way for new developers to get their products out there. What are your thoughts?

Fake Steve Jobs and the Board Opening

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple News" @ 12:00 PM

"Fake Steve has a hilarious series of posts about Eric "Squirrel Boy" Schmidt's resignation from Apple's board. Much better than the real news and boring analysis."

On the heels of the resignation announcement for Schmidt, thought I would throw out a little humor. This is a very funny set of posts from Fake Steve Jobs blog, but be warned, it isn't censored like the above photo. The series of calls he supposedly gets from people interested in the opening are pretty funny too.
