Apple. The company that got its name thanks to Jobs tripping on acid! It's incredibly sad that they ever banned an app over a drugs name in the first place.

- tomxor 6y agoIt is ironic... Even more so considering their 1984 ad. Consider that they are now in a position to ban programs from running on their devices at all. All of these types of issues would evaporate if they were not in that position: banning programs over concern of public image (can't be even tangentially associated with drugs), irreconcilable political differences between countries (can't block criticism of a dictatorship without being undemocratic)... this is why anything resembling an app store should be federated, and the ability to install individual programs at will of the user should never be suppressed. But selling the most expensive and high profit electronics on the planet was not enough.
- ronyfadel 6y ago> In the Steve Jobs biography, Jobs told Walter Isaacson he was “on one of my fruitarian diets” and had just come back from an apple farm, and thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating.” I don't think it was drug related?
