I understand if people like to rant against Apple due to Apple's popularity/success/failure/style/etc; I'm just amused when they change their tune all the time and contradict themselves to suit the flavor of the day.

There's no shortage of rants against Apple's 'censorship' in the AppStore approval policy. <implying hardship to get into the AppStore; limiting the selection/quantity?>

There's also no shortage of rants against the sheer number of apps in Apple's AppStore.

So which is it?

On a serious point; if this thing happens in Ovi Store (or maemo/MeeGo repos), how should the crufts be 'censored' so they don't see the light of day and unnecessasrily 'bloat the apps numbers'.
