The like to keep a draconian lid on their ecosystem?

This is news to me!

"Has Apple crossed the line? Has Apple censorship violated freedom of speech (press)?"

They do it everyday; it a philosophy Steve carries in his head.

Of course they crossed the line, but I would just suggest they do a website; Steve still can't control what sites people read. When that day comes, Tom's must publish EVEN MORE articles about Apple than they do now in order to get Steve's seal of iApproval

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

 

[FloKid]

No one should know about Apple's denials.

 

[animehair]

Ive never bought a single apple product because of this exact type of philosopy which manifests itself across all their products in one form or another...

 

[rohitbaran]

No surprises.

It's called business.

You expect Microsoft to allow Playstation 3 advertising on it's Xbox Live service? Of course not.

This is so stuck up it's not even funny.

For me, Apple cross the line long time ago.

Your iPhone could be cool but the company who make it are more EVIL than any histories that you hear before about Micro$oft.

This just point about the "thinkness" of the company called Apple.
I'm pretty sure there is no rule who don't allow magazine about Android, so why is banned ?
I see just one thing... "No auto-glorification of the saint-Apple".

Apple fanboy call me "Hater"? why? Because I don't like the saint-Apple like them.
I don't like Apple... not their gadgets... but the company.
I don't feel like be a "Hater" for that.

But, I finally know how to call people who call me Hater... I'll call them "Fascism".

Fascism is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy.

Breaking News:
Apple Bans the Bible Apps. The Apple executive hesitantly responded. "You know... your Apps... it's just about Catholicism.... we can't have that in our App Store. We instead have our own version that is about Steve Jobs who is the real god"

Of course it's crossing the line, but it's how Apple works; that shouldn't surprise anyone.

 

[randomizer]

Apple owns the App Store, they have every right to control the content on it. Do I think they should have banned this publication? No, of course not, it's a petty thing to do. But I don't have any real problem with them doing what they want with a service they provide. Nobody needs to use the App Store if they don't want to. If you don't agree with Apple's control over it, don't agree to use it.

That's really LAME......

As is Freedom of Speech has anything to do with this. It's Apple, not the Federal Government. They don't want to host an app that pimps a competitor's product. and I don't blame them.

There are tons of legitimate gripes people have with Apple but this is a non-story.
