What was Heartless Ansem's famous quote again? Oh yeah. "And now darkness within darkness awaits you." But ads instead of darkness.

On the App Store, if I search for "Two Dots", the first 2/3 of my screen is filled with "Two Dots" and when I scroll down, I get related apps. And when I scroll down FURTHER, I see ads for other apps.

Android the open-source OS is cool and all. As soon as you involve Google in your Android experience, you're better off getting an iPhone instead. They at least have the common courtesy of giving you a reach-around while they... y'know.

I use a shortcut for "My ~~ads~~ apps" so that I don't go through the home screen when I want to get updates; sadly, it wouldn't help when searching for new apps.
