It‘s happening… MacHeist, MacUpdate Promo… who’s next?

Today’s release of the $14.99 Twitter client, Tweetie for the Mac, accompanied by a chorus of kvetching by the Twitterati about the price, spotlights the 800-pound gorilla in the Mac shareware space. The threat independent developers don’t want to acknowledge? Mac shareware prices are heading south. Two weeks ago MacHeist3 came to a close. It [...]

Paying for an app and discovering that it clearly does not live up to its App Store description is frustrating.  What is far beyond frustrating is discovering that there is no support at all when you ask for help / clarification / news on possible updates.
