wow, if i were a programmer, i would hate to put up with that. i would also hate the remote possibility of Apple rejecting my app and distributing it anyway because they own it.

IMO, don't feel any pity for the programmers because it was their choice and they are the ones that weighed the decision and put their signature on the paper.

let the apple hate continue...

@cheepstuff

From what I read, if Apple rejects your app, they don't own it, you just simply cannot distribute it because it was made using Apple's SDK. If you were to recreate the same app without using the SDK provided by Apple, it is completely legal and not owned by Apple.

Again, just my interpretation, but I think you may have misread.

I'm really glad I got an Android phone now and never looked into playing with the Apple SDK like I did with the Android SDK.

I hate how Apple is so strict when their OS is based off of freeware. It really grinds my gears. =\

The logical conclusion is simple:

Never ever buy any product with the Apple logo on it.

This is why Apple sucks & why so many hate them. Can you imagine what the world would be like if THEY had a 90% market share of world's PCs? Thank God for Micro$oft!

And people wonder why I refuse to buy an iPhone...

 

[Hilarion]

And people trash me for calling them "Apple Almighty." How nice it is to be vindicated by Apple Almighty itself.
