The difference between you and me is that you have absolutely no idea, and you're just talking because you want to say something. Instead of saying "oh, I did not hear that", you say "that is not true". But you have NO IDEA if it is true or not. I know something, you don't know it, in this case, do not go about saying it's not true, just say you don't know or just don't say anything. I've been speaking daily with Apple reviewers about this, and I assume you have not been doing so and they have not been telling you it's not true. TechCrunch even spoke about this: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/07/apple-cookie-cutter-apps/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/07/apple-cookie-cutter-apps/ When you have no idea, don't pretend you know.

Looking at AppWhirl, it is slightly more then a glorified RSS reader. You can make a template (choose text and background colors as well as the background image) for your site and throw in tweets as well. No, its nothing complicated. Yes, it can generate apps from a template. No, it is not just an RSS reader for a single site. TechCrunch even spoke about this: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/07/apple-cookie-cutter-apps http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/07/apple-cookie-cutter-apps . Two weeks ago is a far cry from NOW, as in TODAY and YESTERDAY. And it could be argued that it is different from the type of applications that the link you pasted mentions; twitter integration, maybe more options for the template as well? I never looked at the "old" way of generating apps. And in the TechCrunch article, it does seem to imply that templates are OK, as long as they do more than simply RSS.

  The problem is this: Apple is removing Cookie Cutter apps that are very close to what that service describes. I said that, and you came and said "NO, they are removing private API apps". That is inaccurate and misleading to anyone who wants to use that service. I'm not interested in arguing any further, so I'll no longer answer here. If you wish to vent, do so to my private email.

Would you please stick to counterarguments instead of resorting to personal attacks?
