I suppose the parent comment was being sarcastic.
Safari can also mean an adventure (using essentially slave labor) to illegally kill lions and elephants. The name forChan doesn't mean the same thing to non-IT-geeks.
This seems to be just another case of the App Store behaving badly (unless there is more to the story, like malware). It is very unfortunate that Apple is profiting so well from the App Store model. I can imagine many companies wanting to replicate the closed-platform, you must use our one store model. Its a shame to see free markets devolve.

- sophacles 17y agoI can accept that, but why not stop at -1? Why keep downvoting -- unfunny joke does not need to be beaten down the same way racist troll does.
- scott_s 17y agoMaybe they do - while one is morally inferior to the other, they're both noise. (If there was not a limit at -4, I suspect a racist troll would eventually go more negative than a simply unfunny attempt at humor.)
