		SAI THE WIRE CLUSTERSTOCK MONEY GAME GREEN SHEET WAR ROOM LAW REVIEW LATEST VIDEO Thursday, March 17, 2011 Apple's Mac App Store Is Already Half As Big As The iPad App Store Apple's Mac App Store is still relatively new, but it's already drumming up healthy business for the 300 most popular applications in store. App analytics company Distimo took at look at the top 300 paid apps for the US Mac, iPad, and iPhone app stores. While downloads of the top apps for the Mac store are just a fraction of downloads of downloads on the the other platform, sales are already half what you see on the iPad. The reason?
