Apple opens their Mac Store

With the Mac App Store, getting the apps you want on your Mac has never been easier. No more boxes, no more disks, no more time-consuming installation. Click once to download and install any app on your Mac. The Mac App Store is now available as a software update for any Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

That was my first thought... since when the hell is computer software called "apps"? I don't mind the term for use on small programs for smartphones/ipods, but christ, don't start calling Civ5 or Starcraft2 an "app"

Technically tho all programs are applications (apps). Granted it does sound funny when you install an app on your computer. I think of flash games.

People buy applications via the developers website all the time. Now I have a centralized place to find work apps for my Mac, and I don't need to give my credit card to a website online, sure why not. Microsoft has been tryin to do this for years too. Plus now I don't need to keep a physical copy of my applications and keep track of all the cd keys? Hell yes!

Im glad I got my android phone and PC when I did. Apple is getting away from the whole reason I liked them before.
