Last I checked, this was a solved problem in Ubuntu. What makes it revolutionary now that Apple's done it?

- danilocampos 16y agoMost people don't use Ubuntu. Come on, man, it's a Linux Distro – how many of our moms are installing those? Plus there's the whole easy monetization thing for developers. This is like saying Dropbox's functionality was a solved problem thanks to rsync.

Apple's store is no revolution in my book, far from it, but at least they put that Amazon One-click patent to good use and made the process easy.
