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. "

    exchange a trillion dollar software idea for a legal copy of those other trillion dollar apps? Do I at least get a bumper sticker?

      I hate to point out the obvious, but if you have a trillion dollar idea, why aren't you working on it right now? And if you're just sitting on such an idea because you're lazy, risk averse, or not a good enough programmer, you may as well give it to Steve Jobs. It's doing no good rattling around in your head.

      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!

  5. Shareware vs Freeware by sYn+pHrEAk · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think you're confusing shareware with freeware.

    Shareware means there is a demo version that you're encouraged to share, but there is also a full version that you have to pay for.

    Freeware is just that: free (as in beer).
