People are asking questions that are not stupid to some people and certain people just want to jump down their throat. What's so hard about answering a question without being cranky. Its funny that the people calling other people trolls are the ones acting like trolls. Wow these have got to be one of the most b*tchest comments I read in BGR in a long time.

So yeah I can see and believe that Apple is stating the download buts NOT the unique # of downloads. On the BGR comment well its clearly NOT OBVIOUS to Apple to thoroughly check the apps before they go out the door and there have been issues since launch. Unless Apple intends to refund me my money if they "kill" an app remotely then they will have a real problem with a legitimate class action suit.
