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.

Ever wonder why some coins have ridges, while others do not?
The answer is surprisingly simple:
When coins where made of gold or silver, the value of the coin was based on the value of the metal in it. Thus, a $10 gold coin had $10 worth of gold in it.
Before ridges, thieves would file off the edges of the coins and make a slow but steady profit from passing on the slightly smaller coins, while collecting the rest.
To prevent this practice, the government began minting ridges into the edges of coins so that you can easily tell if a coin has been tampered with.
Though coins are no longer made of gold or silver, they still have ridges, because we’re accustomed to seeing them that way.
Now you know.
