We start off with a new batch of lower prices on some App Store items, including “Guerrilla Bob,” a third-person shooter. Everyone has their 15 minutes of fame, and I guess it’s Gray Powell’s turn. Don’t know the name? Powell is reportedly the Apple engineer that helped exposed the iPhone 4G prototype. Get a t-shirt and become part of the “in” crowd. (Woz even has one.) Also on tap is a deal on a family pack of Apple’s MobileMe “cloud” services.
We also check out other items, including “Super Turbo Action Pig,” and iPhone game where a pig gets his revenge, tracking down the butcher. There are other Mac-related bargains, of course, such as MYOB’s AccountEdge and more. As always, details on everything is available on CoM’s “Daily Deals” page, which starts right after the jump.
