My Dream App For the Mac

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the with-celebrity-judges-but-no-simon-cowell dept.

Steve Streza writes "My Dream App, a Mac contest in search of the next killer app, features Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki, and Xbox and zune creator J. Allard as guest judges for its final round. Visitors can vote for their 3 favorite app ideas, and receive free licenses to both Overflow 2 and the Apple Design Award winning PhotoPresenter. Voting is open until Tuesday at 8:00 PM EDT, at which point the three winners will be announced. The winners, who will have emerged from an initial pool of more than 2,700 entrants, will see their app idea realized as a Mac shareware application and earn royalties on sales. "

      I made Jobs (more) rich and all I got was a program and this lousy bumper sticker.

      I have to agree here. I have lots of great ideas, but no programming skillz.

      Any young Woz types around here? I'll be the Jobs to your Woz. (but without all the yelling, I promise)

      Haha, you're just making the Linux company rich, you n00b! I just get the 0-day Linux w4r3z off Pirate Bay. They are even patched to get rid of Linux Genuine Advantage, so you'll never get caught!

    Nah, that's pretty weak. Read John Dvorak's columns to learn to troll Mac users successfully.
