This is a terrible, unilateral, knee-jerk methodology to determine application eligibility. It seems that apple is constantly creating lose/lose situations in which the developers have zero recourse for their strongly legitimate complaints.
- b-man 17y agoYeah, this is fascism in miniature. Imagine a large scale experiment on that philosophy. Welcome to Italy, circa 1919.
- jsz0 17y agoLuckily it's just a cell phone and there are plenty of alternatives.
- elai 17y agoUnfortunately, as a market, the iPhone app store is fairly unique.
- cakesy 17y agoSo, any system with a bunch of rules, like Apple Application process if fascism? Apple has these rules, they pointed it out to the developer, and let him resubmit his application. Only a complete moron would compare this to fascism and what happened in Italy. I guess it is only a certain law stopping you from comparing them to another figure.
- uibuibk 17y agoNo a system where the local police/magistrate is allowed to interpret the rules however they wish and you aren't allowed to question them, ask for an explanation, appeal to a higher authority or have any sort of representation is facism.
- jsz0 17y agoYou are most certainly allowed to question the policies. Armed thugs didn't show up at this gentleman's house and beat him for this blog post. Lack of representation alone is not fascism. They also gave him an explanation which is completely contradictory with your statement justifying your assertion this would classify as fascism. Even if they hadn't given him one it still wouldn't make it fascism.
- hellweaver666 17y agoTrue... Apple only send the armed thugs round when you lose one of their prototype iPhones ;)
