I really hope this practice extends into all app stores. It would only be bad for people who make bad apps.

It is always important to not overreact. While it makes perfect sense for apple to develop a travel app, the fact that they also depict GuideYou Amsterdam and Ralph Lauren imply that they are not intending to claim rights over the design.

I'm not so sure about that... If you look at my profile, I almost never comment or link anything. And yet, I have been a dedicated reader since I first found HN. I have also done as much as I can to bring new, intelligent users to HN. But none of this is reflected in my karma score.

Though I could be wrong... Maybe I should just start contributing more.

It might be a good idea to have some restriction on users so that the service is not overwhelmed (a yahoo answers-type situation might not work out well).
