Did Apple’s “Black Friday” specials leave you hungry for more? Try a “Mac Feast”
As usual, Apple’s “Black Friday” specials ended up being much ado about nothing, with price cuts on the order of what most people who have even a tenuous relationship with a student can accomplish on their own.
However, there is good news for those Mac fans left wanting from these “deals”. Aquafadas did some networking at this year’s WWDC, and managed to line up a slew of the biggest and brightest European Apple developers for their “Give Good Food to your Mac” initiative, beginning this Monday.
Aquafadas describes GGFTYM thusly:
‘Give Good Food to your Mac’ is a community action where independent Mac developers come together and build an exciting project:
“For about 10 days, every Mac users will be able to download and taste 25 great Mac applications and enjoy discounts ranging from 30 to 70%.
No junk food, just healthy, tasty and innovative products. And because we are speaking ‘haute cuisine’ everybody gets to create their own combination of titles matching their own and unique taste.
The promotion will start Monday, November 25th with a private sale to existing customers then kick off on tuesday 26th and remain open until the 8th of December.”
The list of participants and available software for the event is shrouded in mystery, but we hate mystery, so here’s the list.

All in all a very decent selection of apps for this “Mac Feast”. The one thing that does still remain shrouded in mystery is which of these apps will get the 70% treatment, but hey, even 30% off is 3 times what Apple offered.
Cool. Nice selection. Especially Remote Buddy and Rapid Weaver.
25th is Sunday … so do I get ” Together” for free ?
okay…

Checked out the pricing …. to much for me. Have to purchase 3 software to get a discount of 30%. They could have given 10% on 1 to 2 items….. Looks like i’m purchasing the software I need under the sites educational price ….which is better than no discount …cheers
Hey,
doesn’t anybody know that they’re are plenty of ipod and mp3 type products out there that don’t cost as much as apple and are just as good. Check around and you’ll find products that do the same job for a fraction of the price. Eventually apple’s prices are going to come down and your going to wonder what all the hype was all about
