Apple hiring editorial managers for App Store

If you've ever wanted to apply to work at Apple, now might be a good time to check out the job board over at TechCrunch. Late last week, Apple posted several editorial positions designed to help weed out the good apps from the bad in the App Store. Another position is geared toward promoting apps both on the desktop and in the App Store, leading TechCrunch to believe that there could be an App Store for OS X some time in the future.

Apple would not be breaking any new ground if the App Store is also pushed to the Mac. Bodega by freshcode was launched in August 2009 and has seen a growing number of users in the months since. With the concerns over editorial standards in the App Store that have plagued it since launch, I'd rather Apple focus on cleaning the App Store up before expanding it beyond the iPhone/iPad.

"Actually I wouldn't want to see them bring it to the Mac because then the iPod, iPhone, and iPad would loose it's pizazze. The app store definitely makes up half of the profits off the ipod[even though I'm jailbroken :) ]Then people would want to go out and buy a mac. Not that that's a wrong thing but then apple would stop working on updates and ext for the ifamily (iPod,iPhone,iPad)"

Huh?
Are you serious?

It would be great to have a unified app store!

I would love to have an app store for mac (as long as we can still install 3rd party apps) because we wouldn't have to look for updates and all our apps would be updated automatically.

Be nice to have links to the job postings themselves instead of the link to the job page index.

And, obviously, Valve bringing Steam to OS X means that there'll be a games-only app store soon.
