"Who would of guessed"

I think you meant to say, "who would have guessed."

You should do everyone a favor and never comment, or speak.

I love companies, and I'm not just bashing Apple on this one, who chooses the Apps that I can install on my phone.

I can understand your need for a more substantive comment relevant to the article's content.

But, this is PCWorld, and not some wannabe amateur journalist's blog. There is a quality of writing that we expect as readers, and that is just lousy journalism. I was reading through the article... until I saw "would of," and began to wonder why I was reading some lousy writer's rant. Basically, it discredited the author in my mind, and the article along with it. Dsuden was doing a service by pointing out his mistake, so he could correct it and write better articles in the future, that don't have such distractions. You on the other hand, haven't (ofn't?) contributed much to the discussion, other than demonstrate to us on how to be a douche on the internet.

FYI - This is a tech website not a english website and if you think you can do it better, then do it, if not, shut it.....Article was posted correctly and was to the point, if you need correct english to live with yourself, then you got more issues then this one line....

I agree! Stop correcting people's grammar and respect the rights of individuals to make posts that make themselves sound like uneducated illiterate hicks.

You nailed it. This isn't a little amateur blog (or at least, it's not supposed to be). It's a professional publication with a long history of computer coverage. Expectations have to be that the staff of writers (and their editors) pay attention to things like this. When they don't, I think it's a courtesy to point it out in a nice way.

Why is it that Android users think they know the most about tech and in reality end up knowing the least? And Y U SO SMUG? Google just pulled 22 apps from their app store:

No Patty... you're the douche.

You'd know that if you'd visited a mirror recently.

OK first off only grammar geeks care about grammar outside of work or school so you all arguing over this is a flat out waste of time. If these guys wanna show they never had a social life, it's their business.

Secondly I am also against the fact Apple yanks any app that makes them look bad because it makes Apple look bad. It's telling people if you don't kiss our ass, and make us look like the best thing in the world, then you're products built for our devices will be rejected or removed.

your obviously trying to justify continueing to use Apple products when you know they're stiffleing your freedom

Here in this PCWorld comment section, trolls attack grammar Nazis. You guys should learn the Internet is a place where people hate just because they can!

As to Apple: Shame on you. Almost every Android phone (except those peculiar AT&T models) can install any app from any marketplace, unresticted. This means that Google isn't forcing people to believe their politics, or their ethics -- just that they're trying to keep their personal store somewhat clean.

Do a search for "apk" on Google.com itself and you'll find dozens of other sources for content. This is what free speech is about.
