    The biggest news about the App store IMO is that you can buy Apple's own apps at discounted prices (Aperture for $79 instead of $199 for example) and the licensing terms say you can "use the Apple Software only on Apple-branded computers that you own…" with emphasis on the S in computers.

    what do you do if you are more likely to sleep with someone with AIDs than use MAC stuff, And I feel about the same as using these social sites. But if you are on the other side of the fence, I could see how this might make you go dancing in the streets with happiness. And good luck trying to retain your personal privacy status.
