I figure it's for folks that are so insecure that they require 
validation for every little thing they think or do, or for folks so 
egotistical they think others are interested in every little thing they 
think or do.

I suppose it does. Maybe I should tweet about it?

They're called "teenagers" and "youth".  ;-)

The twitter and FB people seem to be those with high-end cell phones who 
are opiate-like slaves, hopelessly addicted to their personal devices.

You can recognize them in restaurants, they are the ones who never talk 
to the people sitting with them, their noses are buried in their phones. 
Sometimes you get to see a whole flock of them together, all nosed into 
their phones and pecking away like a bunch of chickens eating corn.

Makes me wonder if over the next century we'll end up with two new human 
varieties: homo sapiens verbum and homo sapiens mutus.

I hear about those people, but I never see them. I think that's an
urban myth.

Start going to better restaurants.

There must be as many reasons for using social media as there are
users. My cohort includes people who live on every continent except
Antarctica. Facebook does not seem to have harmed my ability to
communicate verbally, and it has vastly improved my ability to
communicate with far-flung friends in a non-intrusive way.

I see cell-phone-addicted young ones all the time.  They constant text
each other instead of talk.  They will evolve into people with different
hands and under-developped vocal chords barely able to grunt like an
animal :-)

There is one class of female teenager however who do both. They will
talk non stop using only 3 letter expressions such as OMG and BFF, AND
text at the same time :-)

I was working out in my front yard one fine sunny spring day when a 
group of 5 teenage girls (~14 years of age) walked down the sidewalk in 
a tight formation. All their eyes were glued to their cell phones. They 
were varyingly and independently laughing, smiling, or exclaiming 
together. 

Since I was right there, I asked them what they were doing. They 
responded that they were simultaneously twitting each other and several 
other friends. They also were none too pleased I had interrupted their 
seance.

(No disparagement of females intended. I sure males of the same are are 
just as scattered.)

Buckaroo Banzai once said, 'Remember, no matter where you go, there you 
are.' It seems today no one is EVER where they are. Correlation with the 
rise in ADHD? You judge.

Or more succinctly:  Twitter is for TWITS!.

I retired my last machine which topped out at Snow Leopard about a
year ago.  The loss of address book, calendar, etc. syncing was a big
motivator, though the simple age/slowness of the machine (it still runs)
was a huge factor (as well as the great deal on the replacement).

Don't know, but I'll tweet your question and see what my followers
think.

Not sure why OS X is on the Mac App list.

I have 4 of those, but 3 were bought in 2008 (Pages/Keynote/Numbers etc.)

iPhoto is trash.

I might get Duplicate Detector.  One day.  Maybe.

it's just another item in the store.

they aren't special casing it because it's not really 'an app'.

it is, but there's no other way to sync and organize photos on an
iphone/ipad. 

i use lightroom and then export desired photos to be imported to iphoto
which are then synced to a device. that's all iphoto is good for. 

there's no way to sync directly from lightroom or any other app (except
aperture), so i have to use iphoto.

if apple ever adds the ability to sync directly from lightroom's
library, i could cease using iphoto forever. however, that's not likely
to happen.

I don't use iPhoto in any way, but I sure use Lightroom, PS CS6, 
Dropbox and Photo Transfer App.

neither of those support faces or albums, which makes it a nonstarter

i use lightroom and occasionally photoshop, then export the good photos
to iphoto, arrange them in the order i want them to be in, update faces
if applicable and then sync.

Not sure why OS X is on the list.  Just to brag, I guess.

I have 4 of those, but 3 were bought in 2008 (Pages/Keynote/Numbers) not 
via the app store.

I might get Duplicate Detector.  One day.  Maybe.

From the store's point of view, isn't OS-X treated as an application
that is sold and then transfered to the customer just like any other
application (excpect I guess it is unpacked differently once at
customer's computer)

I'm just don't consider an OS distro to be an app (yes, OS distros come 
with many apps that are usually "middleware" and some that are truly 
app-ish).

I guess it's the times.  It used to be a very big deal when an OS vendor 
released a new major version.  It's becoming less and less onerous to 
get the OS updates, less onerous to install, less onerous to "patch", 
etc. - due of course to the web.

Well - that's the OS X side - I really have no idea how easy or not it 
is with Windows - I recall updating WinXP service packs and it was tedious.

Last times I updated Linux it was very easy as well (and that's been a 
few years).

True, although Mac OS X is now sold as an app, it's is downloaded as an
app, it's even run as an app ... which then installs all the separate
bits and pieces.

In the "good ol' days" there wer no OS releases (and no constant
updating). You simply had whatever operating systme came on your
VIC-20, Commodore 64, Apple ][, etc. when you bought it.

Getting the constant updates is a pain-in-the-sit-upon for those on
dial-up connections or on data capped broadband plans.   :-(

Windows is even worse since you not only have the more numerous OS
patches and other software updates, but also the constant anti-virus
updates to download.
