It boggles me as to why a programmer would willingly submit to a fascist scheme like app store.
I wonder if it is something in human nature, where the presence of a big brother makes you feel secure.
- olefoo 17y agoIt might have something to do with the fact that the app store provides a market where people pay money for software.
- b-man 17y agoThere are others, freer markets, where you don't have to submit to a faceless master that uses his definition of hygiene and beauty to control what can and cannot be done. Heck, you could even, I don't know, sell your software on the internet, by creating a page for it. Seriously, I'm a libertarian, and apple's policies, specially in this area, bugs the hell out of me.
- olefoo 17y agoEh. Nobody is forcing you to put up with the iPhone, the fact remains that iPhone has created an experience that is compelling for customers; and that for all it's shortcomings is better than most of the competition at getting end users to part with money for software.
