Frankly, I'm surprised at how excited I am to see the Mac App Store coming Jan. 6. For me, first and foremost, it's about easy application discovery and instant buying from a trusted source.

In an age where cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, I like to try to reduce my exposure.
