Buy, download, and even redownload. its amazing how apple expected customers to pay for the same digital product over and over.

Apple Remote Desktop, Aperture, etc. aren't going to run in the browser anytime soon.
There have been browser based remote desktop solutions for years now. Microsoft Live Mesh and LogMeIn come to mind, but I'm sure there are others as well. They require some sort of plugin/Java/ActiveX/whatever, but hey so does video.
Anyone else feel like https://chrome.google.com/webstore makes this seem old-fashioned? Seriously who's going to be running software on their local machine a year from now (apart from hackers obviously).
Apart from hackers, designers, music makers, photographers, …, …, etc.
If you get an error 100 ( http://yfrog.com/h4b9kkp ) attempting to download any apps, clear /Library/Caches and ~/Library/Caches. Something to do with the Terms and Conditions acceptance not firing.

You did not get my point. Apple advertises redownload feature as it is something special while to normal logic the right to redownload has to be standard.
Arrrg! No way of uninstalling apps in one central location. Why, Apple, why? There is this nice list of installed apps, why doesn’t it have an uninstall button? It doesn’t make any sense. I guess you are expected to drag apps to the trash like before? That sucks.
I often wish Apple employed a few longtime linux users to point out certain glaring deficiencies (primarily in app/library management, and in how Spaces works).
(And I say this as someone who likes Mac OS X almost entirely because of its Unix underpinnings)

iTunes is just fine on OS X. And yes, the second style is iTunes specific, I guess to keep consistency between normal and "mini" mode.
iTunes is by far the worst Apple product in terms of software engineering
Is adware prohibited from everything in the store? It seems like every windows application I download has some sort of toolbar bundled but maybe this isn't a problem on Mac.
You don't see a lot of that on the Mac, mostly because of the culture. A lot of the big players in the Mac development world have been developing software since the 90s or earlier, so have a tangible sense of quality about their work. Newer developers are usually attracted to developing Mac software for that reason, and they don't want to disrupt it.

I don't know. Let's say I wan't to host it myself, I'd pay about $240 per year for Linode VPS.
I'd pay nothing, and host it on GitHub. In fact I, and many others do.
Aperture is US$ 79,99 in the Store, Lightroom now seems so expensive...
Aperture was US$ 199 before.
