Apple's Remote App was written by one person, not a team, and hasn't been updated because he is busy working on other things, according to Sachin Agarwal CEO of Posterous.

Agarwal, who worked on Final Cut Pro for six years at Apple, notes that the developer is a good friend of his and explains a few things about how the company works in a new blog posting.
