"Calling things amateur is sad - who are they to decide? Let the market decide, don't decide for the market" It's their market. That's who they are to decide.

"Calling things amateur is sad - who are they to decide? Let the market decide, don't decide for the market" It's their market. That's who they are to decide. And they're right. Having a bunch of crappy, shoddy apps hurts those who actually put time, effort, and yes, money into apps with the hopes of making a return. Seriously, by that token, any grocery store should be forced to carry my shittily packaged and shitty tasting food. "I don't know about you guys but this is as close to big brother speak as I have seen." No, it isn't. It's telling developers not to try and submit just any old crap and hope it sticks. Quite frankly, Apple has plenty of developers and apps; they can afford to be picky. "(I don't own any apple product and never will because I cannot imagine buying a device where I cannot install my own software without purchasing Apple laptops. Seriously? This is progress?)" Nobody cares.

The implication of "amateur hour" is different from "amateur".

> Seriously, by that token, any grocery store should be forced to carry my shittily packaged and shitty tasting food. If we had just 2 main grocery stores and each store acts in such an authoritarian fashion, then it's the duty of the people in know how to educate people about the situation. Over a course of 10 years, you will only get only "chips" and "biscuits" approved by them because they decided what is good for you. In fact, once biscuits becomes profitable enough, they will kick out existing players and make their own since they control the market (and Apple has much history of just merging existing products and calling it their own). > Nobody cares. Sure, if the above reality seems appealing to you, go ahead and not care. But many of us do and we are doing our bit to change it.

  The "nobody cares" part was directed at your chest thumping bravado of "I Don't Have Apple Products", like you deserve some kind of cookie for saying so.
