Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
Sure, the new MacHeist Bundle is nice, and with 12 apps and a price tag of just $49, it’s a pretty good deal, but what if you could get similar functionality with the price tag of just $0?
Sounds good, right?
Well Lifehacker did just that, and came up with a list of no-cost alternatives that offer most, if not all of the functionality with none of the price.
Now that’s a bundle!
If the MacHeist bundle just wasn’t doing it for you, then perhaps you should take a second look.
With just 24 hours to go, the MacHeist crew has pulled out all the stops, and added VectorDesigner to the mix as the final app. Now, you’ll receive almost $500 worth of macware for just $49.
In addition, they’ve already raised over $350,000 for charity, so part of your $49 is going towards a few very good causes.
Can you pass up this deal?

For a great deal on a bunch of high-quality Mac apps, head on over to MacHeist and check out this year’s bundle.
Featuring $343.75 worth of software for only $49, highlights include Cha-Ching, iStopMotion, CSSEdit, Pixelmator, and more.
Each application features a test run option, so you can try before you buy, and 25% of your purchase goes to a charity of your choice.
It’s not exactly free ninety-nine, but 85% off sure is a tough deal to pass up.
MacHeist is back, and it’s (supposedly) better than ever.
If you enjoyed the Hubert hunting, dollar saving, developer screwing experience of the last MacHeist, then definitely check out this year’s version, as I’m sure it’ll be much of the same.
The source of the controversy following last year’s event was the fact that it raked in over $800,000 for those running the show, but then supposedly gave back developers (many of whom were small time, independent developers) only $5,000 per application.
Will this year be any different?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

MacHeist is back, so if you’re in the mood for some free Mac software, it’s time to crack the code once again.

If MacHeist didn’t quench your thirst for cheap Mac software, maybe you should take a peak into MacSanta’s bag and see what programs are being offering at a very generous 20% discount. With developers like Rogue Amoeba, Bare Bones, Potion Factory, Unsanity, Twisted Melon, and many more hocking their wares, you’re sure to find at least one program that you’ve been holding out for on the list. Now’s your chance though, so hurry, because MacSanta can only bring you cheer through December 25th.

The heists are over, and MacHeist has started to sell the bundle, an amazing collection of award-winning applications, for a ridiculously low $49 (over 80% off the normal price). As an added bonus, when you buy the bundle, 25% of your purchase is donated to a charity of your choice. Already, the value of the bundle has reached $288.75, and if 10,000 bundles are sold, the value will increase to $356.74. Those who participated in all of the heists, and who purchase the bundle (provided that 10,000 of them are sold), will received a combined $608.24 worth of applications for only $39. I applaud the MacHeist crew for the amazing MacVenture they managed to put on. The heists were challenging, far reaching, and above all, fun, the apps are beyond what I think anyone expected, and the price is unbeatable. Hopefully this ushers in a new breed of interactive sales games, creative selling methods, and a growth of the independent Mac developer community as a whole. So if you like great deals, Mac software, and charity, head on over to MacHeist and buy the bundle. Hubert would want you to.

MacHeist is My Dream App creator Phill Ryu’s newest pet project, and once again, it looks to be both an innovative and entertaining adventure for the Apple community. Though details are scarce (there’s only an e-mail sign up on the page currently), the blogosphere has, as always, pulled through with some “inside/secret” information about what’s going on. Apparently, MacHeist will be a five-week long event, culminating with the sale of an “uber bundle”, and including a bunch of free Mac apps along the way. Active users of the site will be able to save money on the final uber bundle by completing “heists”, or hacker/thief themed missions (such as “hacking” various Mac sites that are partnered with MacHeist). Also, according to TUAW, this encrypted message appeared on the MacHeist RSS feed (though I’m not quite sure how they managed to access this as yet unmentioned feed):
The project is going to be invite only for the first few weeks, with users drawn from the list of those who signed up through either the MacHeist or the My Dream App site, so head on over and reserve your spot, because you don’t want to be the 11th guy in a PS3 pre-order line now, do you?
