MacHeist Bundle: Up to 15 apps for $39

The MacHeist bundle is now available for sale for US$39, up to US$642 less than if these applications were purchased separately, and 25% of your purchase price goes to charity.

Because the discounting is so deep, it's probably still worth the price even if only two or three of the applications are ones you want to use. The website lists the retail price of each app so you can do your own maths for it.

The MacHeist bundle now includes ten separate applications, with a maximum of 13 (or 15 including the Tweetblast apps) to be included. As more bundles are sold, several other programs are unlocked for download - previous MacHeist bundles have always reached the target for unlocking all applications.

The ten currently included programs are:

• Equinux's iSale: eBay listing creation and management software
• Acqualia's Picturesque: Photo manipulation software
• Acacia Tree Software's SousChef: Recipe management software
• 2D Boy's World of Goo: Physics-based puzzle game
• Ecamm's PhoneView: iPhone/iPod Touch access and backup software
• Realmac software's LittleSnapper: Photo archiving and organizing software
• Kinemac's Kinemac: 3D animation software
• Flying meat's Acorn: Photo manipulation software
• Ambrosia Software's WireTap Studio: Audio recording utility
• Pangea Software's Cro-Mag Rally: Cart racing game

And, if you participate in the TweetBlast as well, you will get:

• Delicious Library 2: For cataloging books, CDs, DVDs, and anything else you can think of
• Ambrosia's Multiwinia: Multi-player real time strategy war game

If you use the website link below I'll get credit for referring you, which may mean I get extra free applications. If you'd rather not use the ATMac referral, just go to http://www.macheist.com directly.
