What, no mention of MaLcOr? The problem with ‘blogger’ interviews is that none of them ask the tough questions and, when they do, the ‘editor’ realizes that criticizing their advertising meal ticket is a bad idea. JC and PR seem like the kind of folks that would do anything if they thought it would make them money.

@Bill W

Let me apologize in using the word slime it was unprofessional, however I decry their business practices and feel that they are just using clever marketing to garner sales while producing nothing of real value.

@John:

My apologies, and I stand corrected. I have met Brian Ball and he seemed quite genuine and generous in-person. I have not had any business dealings with him and was not aware of the XPad debacle, which I shall certainly ask him about the next time we talk.

Hopefully Brian has learned from the experience, and elevated his business practices.

@Bill W

I know exactly who Brain Ball is and I have taken part in Mac Zot before. I however feel that his business practices are underhanded at best. At the time there were several incidents including the one concerning his purchase of XPad. It is for the reasons why I feel that Mr. Ball is slime and I refuse to purchase anything via his site ever again.

Please read the original post by the developer of XPad who agreed to sell xpad to Mr. Ball http://catacombs.maniacalrage.net/past/2007/1/4/you_might_remember_a_post/

Then tell me what you think.

@John

Brian Ball is not slimy. He was the originator of the Mac software bundle via MacZot. It’s easy to call a person slimy when you don’t actually have the facts.

@Greg

Even if he is no longer part of MDA he could have been asked why when he was a part of it that in since the competition ended it had been taking so long to see any progress on these apps.

Nothing against John Casasanta , but it seems that anything related to Phill Ryu turns into something bad or vaporware. There is not much good with him.

Re: Joe Turner, I’ve used Macheist, once. But after their last stunt, I don’t think I’ll be using it again.

John is no longer a part of MDA, he quit back in September.

Whoops, didn’t see that :/ .
Maybe MDA didn’t work out, but MacHeist did. He is not ripping anyone off at MacHeist, and yet, just because of MDA, people says he is. That’s a load of BS. I bought the MacHeist bundles, did the missions, etc. It’s fun stuff. The people who complain about MacHeist are the ones who have never even visited their website.

Joe,

Actually in the title of the article it does mention my dream app. So one would assume it would touch on the fact that nothing has ever come out of my dream app in the 2 years since it was launched. All we have is a bunch of screen shots and nothing more. I liked the cookbook app but seeing how it probably will never get released I gave up on following it.

Casasanta is a marketer nothing more. He finds clever ways to market products and get you to buy them from him same as Brian Ball of MacZot. I’ll never do business with slime like them. Over promise and under deliver

I fail to see why this article would even have to say a line about MyDreamApp. This article was made because of his development, and MacHeist. If you look in the title, it doesn’t include MDA.

Well, you certainly gave him a free pass on MyDreamApp. These guys are slimy. He’s banging out multiple iphone apps while neglecting a promise that a lot of people put hard work into on MyDreamApp. Scummy gang.

Most interesting, this app preview. As an iTouch owner, I’m not sure about upgrading to the package we’ll see on Monday. I will definitely try to if there are free apps. If there aren’t any free apps I want, I’ll have to see if the functionality of iPhone Software v2 is truly better.
