Why do people keep developing for the iPhone? What's the point in wasting a year of hard work on an application that will just get rejected out of hand? This is stupid. This is beyond stupid. Apple is going out of their way to alienate developers and they keep going right back to the platform like the stupid sheep they are. This is disgusting on every level.

I think source of this problem (Apple abusing developers) lies in Steve Jobs's personality. Many a time, the company develops a culture based on its leader (or founder, etc.) In this Steve Jobs's personality seems to have a influenced the Apple culture heavily. If any of you remember, Jobs is not one of the nicest guys is the world. He is well-known for his arrogance, anger, and lack of respect for his coworkers and fellow human beings. We're talkign about a guy who even refused to pay the child support fees for his own child and a father of a bastard. Jobs also has an intolerance for anything non-american (or non-western) which is probably why he charges upto 6 times the price for the iPhone in India (a good thing; loosers in India who buy it deserve to get their money stolen by sucha crppy product). In any case, Steve Jobs is famous for his incredible anger, he has been known to hit people, throw them on the wall and other stuff (before he deservedly got fired in 1984 for his incredibly unethical behabior.) He is in essence a control freak. This control freak in him, is why the App Store also acts like sucha control freak, destroying months of effort develpoers put in with a simple rejection letter. Hopefully once the nutcase Steve Jobs dies from whatever disease that has been holding him from work, some sense might get into Apple. As personal advice, I suggest every abstain from touching, thinking or using any Apple product until Apple steps ups its ethical standards, removes all these DRM-like/based restrictions from their products and ofcourse, start showing some repsect for developers.
