"This is where the line is drawn."
Really?
I mean, yes this is clearly terrible, but if you're surprised by Apple doing this then you haven't been paying much attention the past few years.
I don't begrudge people who choose to use Apple products, they certainly have their charms, but I do get slightly annoyed when they are suddenly offended when Apple does something like this because post-App Store Apple pulls crap like this all the time.
- rrbrambley 14y agoPlease see my response to inerte's comment, if you have not already. It's not that I'm surprised that Apple would do this. I am just shocked that the definition of "book" could change in front of everyone's eyes and the common person will ignore it because they enjoy Apple's "magical" devices.
- antidoh 14y agoLicensed media as "books" and "recordings" have been a wet dream for years. This is the happy ending.
- w1ntermute 14y agoShocked? Really? We've been seeing the Reality Distortion Field in effect for years now.
- domador 14y agoNot everyone has been following Apple as closely, nor does everyone open up their eyes at the same time. Better late than never, though. (And the more people that do this, the merrier. Maybe this way things will improve some day...) It's sad to see the awful attitudes a company can get away with when it makes such sleek and wonderful products.
- rimantas 14y ago> pulls crap like this all the time. Please tell. There are hundreds of thousands apps in App Store, but of course only those who got rejected matter, right?
- Wilya 14y agoHow is the raw number of apps relevant ? There could be hundred of millions of harmless apps, that doesn't make it okay to block a few of them based on a dubious agenda.
