Murphy's Law: Is it Time for an Open-Source App Store?
,----[ Quote ]
| Instead of staring at a screen of binaries and snippets of documentation,
| users could view a brief summary of what each application does, as well as
| its system requirements and a screenshot or two. Integrated community
| features would not only allow users to submit bug and help requests a la
| SourceForge, but would give users a chance to add comments and rate the
| application. Registered users, validated developers, or important community
| members could chime in to lend these notes and reviews a voice of
| authenticity over the general internet mutterings, and good users-like Yelp
| commenters-could be voted into authority based on their behavior.

| developers will fill it with useful Java applications. Although, applications
| at the store will be free in the beta trial, Sun's goal is also to get
| significant revenues from the store. Here's more on what Schwartz and Gosling
| said and showed on stage.
