As part of a focus on iOS at last year's conference, Apple did not include Mac applications in the Apple Design Awards competition. But with OS X Lion playing a prominent role in this year's event and the Mac App Store gaining momentum, Mac applications returned to the ballot this year.

Pretty soon it will be impossible to load software onto your Mac that doesn't arrive via the App Store. Steve's dreams of making the Mac a closed ecosystem are almost complete. Nothing that isn't controlled by Apple will be allowed to exist on your Mac. In order to maintain control of your Mac you will need to jailbreak it, like an iPhone.
IMO, this is a good thing. :D
100% of Al Gore's earnings from "Our Choice" go to charity...
That makes me fell better. I will say the App is awesome, very interactive, and well put together.
Hmm I see Al Gores position (had or have) has benefits. my hand it off to Al Gore, he surely knows how to milk this world in danger for $$$$.
Though the App does is very good, very interactive and some what intriguing.

Highly recommend it.
I'm glad to see the Mac Apps are back. Probably because of the Mac App Store. Are all of these apps available on the store only?
I wish I could afford to spend the money on Capo, though. That looks awesome.
My entire goal as a developer isn't money or fame or notoriety...it is to win one of these. That is the pinnacle of achievement for me personally, and what drives me to develop iOS and Mac applications.
Lame, I know.
Yeah, I just learned that the 'appshopper' site is blocked by my firewall at work.
Maybe it's a promotional deal MR has with appshopper?
Interesting. Appshopper is fine at my place of work but the itunes store is blocked.

I thought Arn owned MR and appshopper.com? I thought that's why the links went to appshopper.com instead of iTunes. Could be wrong.
