Panel: Jason O'Grady and Rob Parker
Topics: In this episode Rob and I discuss Apple's brand-new Mac App Store, which launched on January 6 -- and was cracked on the same day. We discuss its 10.6.6 requirement, the combo updater and some of our picks from the first 24 hours of the Mac App Store being open. Oh, and we play "What's on your Mac."
