JBerlinsky··on Ask HN: accessing my deceased relative's iPhone
This may help: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596153595

It requires that the phone had at one point been jailbroken, for the most part, unfortunately. If you're in the NJ area, I have a copy laying around somewhere...

Didn't Rapleaf try to do this?

JBerlinsky··on Ask HN: How To Sell Software Without Setting Up Website Or Payment System
True. It hasn't really taken off as far as I can tell, either. I don't think any application have Bodega as their only distribution model.
JBerlinsky··on Ask HN: How To Sell Software Without Setting Up Website Or Payment System
Honestly, you're better off outsourcing or building the website.

Software isn't just code, it's a product. Apple has found a way to use their standardized nature to force people to conform to their product with their user interfaces, but with desktop software, that's not the case. The feeling that a software product gives off has to be uniform in all aspects of its sale and usage, or you'll lose potential customers. Take, for example, Panic software (http://www.panic.com/). Their web site, ordering interface, and applications themselves all give off an aura of clean professionalism. This unification isn't something you can get with an App Store-like distribution model.

That having been said, I know Bodega (http://appbodega.com/) is trying to build an App Store for Apple desktops.

JBerlinsky··on Ask HN: Live Chat Support Software
I use Olark and love it. Its integration with my contact list is great--don't even have to switch away from Adium to chat with clients.
JBerlinsky··on Ask HN: How do you organize notes?
I don't go anywhere without my Moleskine.
