There normally isn't a ~/applications folder on OSX. All apps are shared
among all the accounts just like vi or ftp in a traditional unix setup.
Content and documents though are only stored in the user's folder such
as in documents, downloads or music. While having ~/Applications in a
large shared system might make some sense, it's just extra complexity
for a single-user system.

Hi all,
I just noticed something odd. The /applications folder on my system
has all my apps in it; that is, /applications seems to have the same
items as ~/applications. I thought only ~/applications would have my
apps, since /applications is (I assume) system-wide, for any user on
the mac. I'm the only user, and an admin (well, super user in unix
talk) but I still find it odd that my account's apps are in the
/applications folder. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Have a great day,
