>The Mac App Store is a ghetto.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

From Wikipedia: "A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure." I don't see how that applies to the app store.

Maybe you're trying to use the slang definition of ghetto, in which case you want an adjective and not a noun. Try "The Mac App Store is ghetto, yo." But "The Mac App Store is a ghetto." I don't know what you're trying to say with that phrase.

"X is a ghetto" is a running phrase in the tech community dating back to at least 2007 [0].
