MacHeist nanoBundle Offers 6 Mac Apps For... Free

[SiriusExcelsior]

It's the very significant market share of "The Others" that explains why Apple, and with them OS X, will never become a mainstream player. Apple does not play well with others, and they do not want to have Hackintoshes on the market. But people, obviously, want to use customized and self-assembled "other" hardware - hardware that fits into their budget.

I would rather like to see a number of how many of those Apple machines also have a copy of Windows on them. Has Microsoft already reached the 100% mark by now?

And that's related to this thread how?
I, for one, very much like the fact that Apple doesn't have a market majority. When you have a large user base, you can't cater for everyone. How lovely were the days when the only people using Macs were graphic designers and desktop publishers, allowing Apple to make their computers tailored to the users' needs.

You have to allow a connection to be made which allows them to post on your wall and in your news feed. I love Macheist but I won't give anyone that kind of control.

People who have been wanting the extra app have been setting up fake Facebook pages with disposable e-mail addresses in order to get it. Since the licence uses the details of your MacHeist account and not that of the Facebook account.

On the bundle; I like ShoveBox and Hordes of Orcs is great.

Well that was very nice of them wasnt it? They only reached around the 300,000 mark but still unlocked the Mariner Write program.
A big thumbs up to MacHeist

Kind of seems like a marketing gimmick, and that they always intended to unlock it; they were just mistaken in their estimate that they would get 500,000 downloads. In past MacHeists, have they ever NOT unlocked apps?

I'm not complaining, just wondering. (How can you complain about free software?)

Just downloaded. All's okay but now waiting for the Orcs game serial. Overall, looks a very good bundle. Credit to MacHeist!

Just grabbed Shovebox and Twitterific. Should be useful!

Where can we find out how many downloads their were? I went to the site but there wasn't any mention that I could find.

I believe I saw 286,000 close to the end. Might have been higher.

MacHeisters can get another free app, just for a tweet: VoiceCandy.
