I can't throw a rock without hitting someone who is, at this very moment, whining about the delays the Amazon app store has in updating various applications. You just gotta choose your poison.

Lets see. The Android market is pretty open and the apps uploaded are not checked nor scanned by Google so yes some malicious apps are expected.

Now Apple allegedly checks all apps submitted to their app store so should be safe. Yeah right. Been malicious apps on Apples app store as well.

Saying a malcious app was found on th eapp store is like saying a malicious program has been found on the internet. Neither is fully moderated.

Sadly, it's gonna happen. If apps aren't being screened then malicious apps can walk right in the front door. Even screening the apps isn't catching everything and people are getting more creative and deceitful so obviously, there is no end in sight.

Your posts are trollish. I never said anything about threads.

Again. I only posted a news article. It's not the only news story about it. What's wrong with people being aware of the issue so they can protect themselves. I'm only helping the community.

Btw. I have an android device. It's something I want to be aware of as well. I'm looking out for myself as well.

Or are you apple haters so blind as to see that I have an android device.

Yes, sure, like that is your agenda here. No-one is sufficiently dim to swallow that one.

Presumably you meant "you're dimwitted enough". Anyway, your agenda is utterly transparent by now, regardless of your (<- proper use of your) pathetic protestations.

I really just wanted to annoy you, like your sad anti-Android posts annoy me. Mission accomplished it would seem.
