I hope Derek, you will start putting all the apps from AppBookShop.com together, still list them, just put them together in a small paragraph, so people who want to read it can read them or who want to ignore them can easily do so.

So, does anyone else see the irony in ''Turn Unemployment into Funemployment'' costing $3.99?

can someone create a patch that hides all the AppBookShop apps in these articles? I basically don't read these articles anymore because I waste so much time identifying and ignoring those titles.

At the very least P|C could group them all in an expanding section so I could ignore them all at once?

Next thing we will have to watch out for is finding AppBookShop buying banner ads on the P|C home page.

Please make the spam stop!

Damn... I was really hoping my app (netSpeed) would get featured as one of the top 3 since it's the first bandwidth testing app.

Nothing's stopping me from shamelessly promoting it in the comments, though!
