          It seems like reciently there is some massive gaming of the app store rankings to get these apps to number one. "Red Bouncing Ball Spikes" which is just a game demo repackaged also got to number one. http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Red+Bouncing+Ball+Spikes/news.asp?c=57192[^]

                Amazing that a simple game like that can do so well? Go figure

                  Even some crap games and apps comes in top ten ranking. sometimes they stays forever in top ten X| The top ten quality is getting degraded over time period.

                    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                          Angry Birds, Flappy Bird...yeah, it seems people are going cuckoo over bird-based games. I blame Duck Hunt.

                          Ooh, hey up, I've got some code for summat like that I wrote about 20 years ago...somewhere... [rifles through boxes of 3.5" disks and ancient HDDs]
