Wanna be an App millionaire?

Get featured in a Apple commercial demonstrating Apps for iPhone and iTouch. Apple even maintains a page so people can easily find those Apps after watching their commercials.

Watch the bucks roll in for a month or two, then move on to the next app up your sleeve. The trick is to keep writing developing and submitting apps, never rest on your laurels, hire a team, buy an empty office building that hasn’t been condo-sized by yuppie developers, work that team by the approved Jobs method of love and terror, keep hiring and firing at will, soon … you’ll wonder what the fuck just happened?

All you wanted was make a quick buck and have a little fun, and now you’ve got very complicated life supporting a company that produces a nine digit income net, three ex-wives, kids you met at birth (just barely), three mortgages, real hair loss, not just a shaved head, middle age spread  … and no fun. This could be your life. Here are the keys … ignition  … liftoff?

Kudos to the winners, but did you notice Apple never had to do anything like that to attract developers for the iPhone?

Developers, start your engines …

After a lot of huffing and puffing, developers can calm down now. Apple has released the complete specs for iTunes LP for music and iTunes Extras for video content for free. Go nuts, code-junkies!


MallMap app is not crap

CNNMoney lists essential iPhone apps for Holiday Shopping Season. The great unwashed have spoken,

MallMaps

MallMaps

and it’s MallMaps, which actually may have a life after January 6, 2010. These guys created the app, and they swear they love what they do.
