Mac App Store Has Plenty for Students

Apple users are all-too-familiar with the "app store," be it the one on the iPod, iPhone or iPad. The app store has surpassed 10 billion downloads, and now they've got yet another store for yet another Apple device: their actual computers.

Yes, the intuitive move to end all intuitive moves has happened: the iMac/MacBook app store. Not only does it mean that users can play Angry Birds HD on their computer -- it means that software mainstays like "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" isn't tethered to the increasingly-more-ancient CD, and that Apple products like iPhoto or iMovie can now be downloaded alongside apps for the Kindle or Twitter.

So what does this mean for college students (aside from giving them yet another way to download Peggle)?
