  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14My Dream App...
  • keesj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9good for you
  • tainc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5What makes you think the apps in quetion are vaporware? The development teams haven't even had a chance to get off the ground yet! Also, the devolpers themselves are very respectable for producing quality apps (Justin of AppZapper and Disco, e.g.)
  • Doughboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The software bundle will probable consist of Cookbook, Portal and Atmosphere with limited edition signed picture of the Contestant/developer teams ;)
  • shyguy01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You obviously didn't even click through the link

    Or read any of the above comments.
  • Jerk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Exclusivity.
    Want the inside scoop and a head start? Inquire through the appropriate channels.
  • antwan911, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2my guess is this will all tie together
    this will have some connection with MDA
    software bundles - MDA Winning Apps Perhaps?

    And BTW its: "want the inside scoop and a head start? inquire through the appropriate channels. ;)"

    anyone got ideas regarding appropriate channels?
  • CreativeGuy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I can't believe people are complaining about getting FREE SOFTWARE every week (as we did with MDA and will with Heist) and three new applications being developed for OSX by premiere developers on the Mac platform.
  • opensourcemaven, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2i found this in the TUAW comments, it has more info on macheist.. like it will be 5 weeks long

  • barranco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Pure and utterly bluff!
  • YoungPilgrim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"You'll be hearing from us very soon.

    Thanks again for your interest in MacHeist! ...even if you don't know exactly what it is yet..."
    Text on the site as of 8:30 EST
  • Huze, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The "monkeylover" thing is notable. On the Disco blog, there is an unknown monkey icon displayed in a screenshot. Considering the Disco developer is one of the masterminds behind MyDreamApp, some monkey-related software must be on the horizon....

  • gluckman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Im guessing you need to email Phill Ryu
  • wheelsee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@inturnaround

    I dugg you down for using natch
  • keesj, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2"I wish they wouldn't make the rest of us Mac users look so stupid." lol
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4What garbage. I mean really, we don't need to have a virtual heist in order to get software. If you need software you go out and buy it.

    I love the way it says "1 million dollars worth of freebies" - I don't think they would ever have sold any of those stupid dolphin music programs anyway.

    I'm also frustrated by the way the Apple category on Digg is being clogged up with this stuff. Yeah, My Dream App was a good idea to begin with which was spoiled by people constantly submitting stories about their own application to Digg. I now bury ANYTHING from these guys (I assume that Austin Sarner guy that needs a haircut is involved in this too) like Disco, MDA or MacHeist as Spam or Lame depending on who submits it.

    I'll say it again. If I need software I will research it myself and buy it myself. I do NOT need someone to turn the software development market into a series of online gameshows to convince me to buy something I do not want or need.

    What's your next trick, Phill? App or No App? Wheel of Applications?
  • keesj, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3After some basic research I found the following domains:

    monkeyloverapp.com
    monkeylovergame.com
    welovemonkeys.com

    All hosted on the same server as MacHeist.com
  • inturnaround, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1The App is Right, natch.
  • ansonparker, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2[deleted]
  • matthewdrayton, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5What have these people done that is worthy of so much attention?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2It will probable consist of Cookbook.

  • aprocter, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2I... dont get it? What's in the software bundle?
  • StephenChow, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Cool.
  • dmoney06, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Appropriate channels anyone?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Buried as lame. These people come on here ALL the time spamming digg with their crap in order to gain more sales and boost their own egos. I bury every single one.
  • coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Want the inside scoop and a head start?. Unquire through the *something* channel?

    That's what the "1337" at the bottom of the page says anyways.
  • matthewdrayton, on 10/12/2007, -15/+5My Dream App? Ha! Vaporware and shameless self promotion doesn't rate highly in my book.

    I'll ask again. What have these people done that is worthy of so much attention?
  • noreturn, on 10/12/2007, -14/+3Wow. If this sucks half as much as My Dream App, it'll still suck more than Bush and Cheney combined. Move along, people. Ignore the shallow Mac users more interested in gimmicks and eye candy than functionality. I wish they wouldn't make the rest of us Mac users look so stupid.
