@fiberguy I think you have to distinguish between app distribution and DRM technologies. Piracy exists with physical media too.

Success for Apple’s re-invention of software distribution: Mac App Store tops a million downloads on day 1. http://bit.ly/hfFetI #yg

Yesterday I had an Epiphany. Today, not so much.

@JeffreyBreen Congrats on making the front page of R-blogger today. I’ll definitely have to use that zip code package for my choropleths.

Another App Store bargain: Photoshop reinvented package Pixelmator is normally a $59 digital download. App Store price is $29.

Apple Aperture on DVD-ROM is $199; on the App Store, it’s $79. App stores revolutionize software distribution economics big time. #yg

CES Ballmer: “Whatever device you use, Windows will be there.” Sounds to me like a threat….

The Mac app store launches tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what apps launch with it. Angry Birds for Mac anyone? #yg

@JeffreyBreen Cool beans; I can’t wait to hear what you’re running with EC2 MapReduce…..
