From: John Navas on 5 Jul 2010 11:57 A group of iPhone apps that had received top rankings on the iTunes Store have disappeared from the top 50 book applications following complaints from developers. The developers said they noticed dozens of applications by the same author surge into the top rankings, although the applications frequently had few or no user reviews and appeared to be roughly coded. The incident coincided with reports that iTunes Store users were charged for applications they say they did not purchase, suggesting that their accounts may have been compromised.

"His apps now occupy 40 of the top 50 ranks in the Books category on the app store. These are apps that typically wouldn't rank in the Books category and most of them don't have any ratings or reviews." more info here: <http://www.alexbrie.com/archives/205> the apps were based on stolen content and purchased from hacked accounts to skew the ratings. apple canceled his developer account and app rankings are back to normal. of course you don't mention that google has *removed* apps from user's devices, something apple has never done. the hypocrisy is astounding.

NavASS is nothing but a man-child who never grew up. The maturity level is that of an 11 year old brat.
