Just this morning, I was chatting with a colleague about how much I love Chromecast and how relieved I am that it hasn't been discontinued. Then, an 3 hours later, I read this news, and it really bummed me out.

Honestly, I'm not sure which company frustrates me more right now. Updating apps on Google Play has become a nightmare compared to Apple, where review times can stretch to two weeks (sic). Plus, the google search is practically useless.

What do you mean by "(sic)" here? I'm used to seeing that in quotes to make it clear the quote is being reproduced exactly, but I've never seen it outside a quote.

Oh wow, I was using it incorrectly—thanks for indirectly correcting me! I thought I could use it to emphasize that something is indeed true.

Ah! I was wondering if that might be what you were intending to say, but not being familiar with app development I wasn't sure.
