Sounds similar to those projects like Al Sutton's AndAppStore (now merged with soc.io), which have been around for almost as long as Android.

The only difference I see is the approval process, which will make it harder for Koush to explain that he wasn't aware of the nature of an app once a C&D flies in. And given that apps are typically banned because they infringe copyrights or other monetary interests of big corporations, I'd say that C&Ds are inevitable.

"Has created" != "has been published on the store". Particularly because the most newsworthy part of the article is that it took longer than normal to get the app approved, so a search in the apps won't tell you whether or not Google has *created* an iPad-specific version that is currently going through the approval process.

It really makes me wonder, though, what would they get out of saying stuff like that if it weren't true?

Have you ever watched Yahtzee's video game reviews? He's mostly focusing on bad things (and greatly exaggerates them). People love a good trashing! He even mentioned in one of his reviews that he got angry mails when he was too nice on a game. It's good entertainment, and that's what Top Gear focuses on.

Well, or any other mobile phone OS, obviously. However, there is KeePass based on 1.0 for Android (as you can see on the KeePass website itself, and here: http://www.androlib.com/r.aspx?r=keepass). Also, there's OI Safe for Android, which does the same thing: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-openintents-safe-qwq.aspx

Well, that's the whole point of this competition - find out what each user believes to be "GOOD", which is highly subjective. People who enjoy, say, Epic Movie, White Chicks, and hate movies like Insomnia are likely to dislike Memento as well.

There is no objective "good" or "bad" for a movie - you can average the ratings given by all users, but according to IMDb, Insomnia (US version) has 7.2, and Die Hard 4 has 7.6 - which one would you prefer? (To me, Insomnia is clearly the "better" movie, but my opinion is different from that of other people... which is why the idea is to find people who have the same taste as I do and see what they consider "good").
