would anyone ever have guessed Snoop would sell out so hard? Everyone mellows with age but I thought he'd sold out completely when he appeared on a Katy Perry tune. Now he's pimpin Norton software? "Hack is wack?" Really?

I wouldn't be surprised if the actual number is much, much higher. This has always been a problem with software development, I'm not sure why anyone thought it got better when apps became web-based.
