Isn't this post a blatant advertising for AppStoreHQ ?
It's not like i learned something new from it, they just promoted their future app store.
Sometimes i wish there was a down-vote on HN...

My goal was to help educate developers to the fact that mobile web apps have a bright future. Developers don't necessarily need to feel trapped by the popular native mobile platforms (iPhone, Android, etc) when there are other options available that are more open, more familiar, and easier to port to many different devices.
Still, mobile web apps have a long way to go for both developers and users, and distribution and monetization are two of the most important vectors that need to be improved. The point of the post was to show the potential of mobile web apps first, and to show how AppStoreHQ is helping these vectors for developers and users second.
That's not how you accept responsibility, that's how you shift the blame back to the aggrieved person and piss them off some more. I don't have any strong feelings in this situation, just pointing out a place where can save you plenty of problems down the road: apologize unreservedly or not at all. For a better take try this:
I'm sorry I came across like this, I meant better than that.
Also, what about Paypal, is it impossible to do that in a mobile setting?
And as far as I know there is a downvote, when you pass a certain karma threshold?
