I had to laugh at that. What happened to apple could stop developing their OS for ten years and still be ahead of mircosoft? i guess Snow leopard happened.

Oh yeah!
Glad Apple is moving so strong.
Big Thanks to the developers for making quality apps and adjusting pricing for economies of scale!
Rock on!
Cue the app store is full of crap and fart app folks.
I just find posts like this ridiculous on a Mac forum. Makes you seriously wonder where the loyalty is. It also makes you wonder who's a troll?![]()
HLdan said:Neither one of you even understood my post. I have no issues with people complaining about Apple or saying something negative, if I did I certainly wouldn't have registered on this forum since this place is the king of Apple bashing.
My issue is when posters come on a Mac forum and say things like "ONE UP FOR MS, SCREW APPLE". At that point why even come to a Mac/Apple forum at all? Seems like more hatred for Apple and hopes for Apple to fail.

LOL at some of these jealous dudes, as I said cue the app store is full of crap folks.You really must think that Apple is religion, dear Apple fan!
You have only couple errors here.
1. Quality apps.
Where do you find quality if 95-98% is total garbage e.g. "FART" apps?
2. Adjusting pricing for economics of scale.
Are you serious? Really? Current pricing downturn will make 98% app development unprofitable even with "economics of scale". Or maybe it is still profitable somewhere in India and some other even lower income areas.
Btw. Huge success for iPhone in China. First weekend and 5000 sold! What an achievement in country with much more than 1,3 BILLION people.

Christ ALMIGHTY! Almost all those apps are CRAP. Geez, get over yourself Apple.....

Agreed. Stupid Apple, they should have told the Chinese government to go get stuffed, cause as a mighty American corporation, they answer to no one!
And the vast majority are without significant function or bordering on porn, which I thought wasn't allowed anyway.
Each time I visit the App I get a little more disappointed
Bu then who would manufacture their superior American corporation device![]()
This is insightful. I'm a .NET developer who has been playing with Objective-C & Cocoa Touch to try iPhone app development. It's been a pleasant experience and has made me more open to work on full-fledged Mac apps.That's a lot of new developers out there with Obj-C/Cocoa experience.
I wonder at what point Apple is going to try and nudge them towards Mac development as well. I still think a Mac App Store would revitalise the Mac market.
Microsoft is the most-used OS in the world (highest number), but Apple has always touted "it's about quality". Now Apple is touting a high number in apps available.
When Microsoft's Zune HD gets to 100,000 apps, fanboys here will say "pfft, most of them are crap". Meanwhile, I'm sure Apple will be up to 250,000.
I WILL say I'm proud of the posters here pointing out the fact that of the 100 grand here, a large bulk are crap apps.lol
You guys give me hope in clarity.
Hm. A hundred thousand apps, and I've settled on three useful ones.
Airsharing
FourTrack
Fieldrunners
Hmmm.
What's with this lately? Last time I checked, this wasn't Digg (thank @#$%&* God!)
And as I have pointed out, those arguing that most of the apps are crap (usually without any convincing evidence for that statement) appear to ignore the fact that for years and years, Windows advocates used the plethora of software on Microsoft's platform as a primary argument against using a Mac. They still do, as a matter of fact.
You really must think that Apple is religion, dear Apple fan!
Methinks you haven't looked very hard.
(Though Fieldrunners does remain one of my all-time favorites).
And let's give a warm welcome to our latest "I just joined MacRumors so I could spit and sputter about Apple and its customers and/or praise its competition" member! It's nice to see the club continue to grow.![]()
At least in Europe we do not accept companies to make these decisions, we accept only real free speech and choice.
