To paraphrase Justice Warren on pornography... you'll know it when you see it.
A lot of people need to step back and realize the sheer absurdity of Apple, a maker of software and consumer gadgets suddenly going into the content censorship business. The Apple App stored seemed rotten to be from the beginning and it's lived up to my expectations.
At the end of the day, there's very few things Apple needs to worry about:
- is the app malicious or hurtful to the system or users?
- does the user have enough info make a decision on whether they want the app or not?
Schiller's reply on Daring Fireball showed that they don't quite get it. They still believe they should be the ones with the final authority, not users.

But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."
