Jobs: No Mac app store coming

I would like the idea of a app store.

it would be good for developers to put there apps on something where a lots af mac uses would go for OS X apps

but know, wayy they would make the make not Open source, that would ruin mac all together

THEY STOPPED UPDATING THE DOWNLOADS PAGE !!!!

they haven't touch the downloads page since March 26th

What would make a lot more sense would be opening the App Store to Apple TV, that would bring it out of the "hobby" phase and actually make an interesting entry into a gaming platform. I wish someone would ask Steve Jobs that question.

good. freakin itunes is too bloated as it is. i wish they'd break it up actually. i'm totally willing to sacrifice a little convenience to have itunes just be a music player / manager that syncs to my ipod again.

the day apple ever forced people to buy through a closed mac store would be the death knell of apple computers - they definitely know better than that. i dont know why people are even entertaining this absurd idea. for me an iphone is mostly useless without a jailbreak, having such absurd levels of control over my phone is just as ridiculous as any suggestion of trying to exercise that much control over my computer and what runs on it.

Too bad. I would actually like something like this. Of course, I'd still also like the option for independent code on the Mac, but having the ability to buy (cheap?) software all in one place through iTunes or something would be really nice. I really don't buy a lot of software *coughcough* unless I absolutely have to because it's really such a hassle.

Rather than an app store, they need to make a Store app. Why do Best Buy, J&R, Amazon, FreshDirect, etc., all have really useful app versions of their online stores, and Apple does not?

so the statement was

if ((Mac store) && (Authorization))

which returned false.

Get out your Karnaugh maps, but that means either or both of those can be no.

So that means there COULD be a mac store. or there COULD be Authorization needed from Apple.

One word responses are too vague.

So Steve Jobs didn't put an end to the rumors by denying it. He in fact confirmed it, as we all know, anything Jobs denies is in the works at Apple.

If Apple allowed all purchased Apps to run under OSX, for free, Macs would sell like hotcakes in Fatland, as the recession goes away.
