How about checking up spelling before publishing an article with the president's name misspelled everywhere?
It is BARACK Obama, not Barak...
It is BARACK Obama, not Barak...
I read all these stories and have to laugh. First at the total lack of Journalistic Integrity that is displayed by the authors on this sight, and secondly at the total misrepresentation of the facts that the readers constantly submit.
I am not even an Apple fan, don't own a single apple product except QuickTime, but I am an avid reader of technical sites. In the first line alone of this article the author mis-represented the facts in saying that Apple approved an application with child porn in it. While the baby shaking application did slip through, if you spent even a moment doing any research on the subject you would know that they approved an application that the provider of the content was supposed to review and approve all images submitted prior to their display in the application. The developer failed to follow the rules they agreed to and allowed inappropriate content after the approval process. It was the second such application that had this same problem in a weeks time.
Apple is in no way responsible for content provided by another persons servers. If you say they are, then you are saying that they are responsible for all content that gets viewed in safari also. and that MS is responsible for all content viewable with IE and they all need to take steps to control your viewing habits. is that what you are looking for? Should they just make it a blanket rule that no application can access any data other than that which comes from their servers. That would be a great cash stream for them, developers having to pay for hosting services from apple for their content? hmm might be on to something there,
They also are not responsible for constantly monitoring every application on the app store after its release. They take action when something is reported to them, or when the developer changes something after the approval process that would effect its approval, you know, just like the game, music and movie industries would and have done also. None of those industries have access to the entirety of a finished work when the do their approval, they get a submission from the developer and use that to make their ratings or approvals. They can't control what happens between then and the actual production item is released.
What I see first and foremost in story after story is that Apple cannot win no matter what they do. One story they are censoring jerks for actually looking at apps at all and the next they are jerks for not looking close enough at apps. The problem is its the same people, who seem to just have this sick fascination with apple and try to invoke the mob mentality that jump from one side to the other constantly as long as it means they can hate on Apple some more.
In reference to this story, they may have rejected it due to the legal issues associated with the image as previously mentioned, and they would be 100% correct in doing so.

All of a sudden I like Apple a little more, good going, keep it up against the imposter in the White House. His real (hidden) goal is to destroy the economy and he knows it. Doing a good job so far, it's going allot worse (remember Jimmy Carter) and then allot of his idiot followers will finally wake up and relize they have been scammed.
[citation][nom]cangelini[/nom]Uh, the author's views are his own on this one, and don't represent the sentiments of all Tom's staff 😛[/citation]
I couldn't agree more. I am sure is a good husband and father to his children, but throwing politics in the mix and cramming it down people's throat because the popularity train thinks everyone loves this guy is a no-no. Anytime two or more people talk politics, there are ALWAYS going to be heated debates over issues. So I say good idea apple, throw politics out of the loop and don't expose us to this rubbish!
hakesterman - get a clue man. The President doesn't even have as much say so in matters as people think. If you want to blame someone, look at congress, look at the house, look at the federal reserve - these guys run this country! When a law gets set in motion, an amendment is made to the Constitution, loan rates are raise or lowered, or taxes are raised or lowered, it originates from these guys. Do not be a blind-sided opinionated voter like so many and just say like Obama does - that we "inherited" this mess and it's GWB's fault. Get your facts straight, the main people responsible for this "mess" ARE STILL IN POWER!

What's up with these Republican idiots in the comments section? Yes, democrats suck, but not nearly as bad as Republicans. I'll take the lesser of the 2 evils any day, but some of you seem like you long for the "good old days" of Bush. Can you find a single republican not embroiled in scandal? Atleast the democrats don't speak out against gays, and then get caught in bed with one....
I can't believe this absolute joke of a "journalist" didn't actually check to see WHY Apple rejected this pic.
They rejected it because the pic is in a court battle for PLAGIARISM. Not because they hate Obama. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA!!!
I know this is my third post in a row, but seriously? It is not even possible for this article to be any worse than it is.

I can't believe how naive and stupid people are to believe that all of our current trouble started with Obama. We're in debt folks because of the Bush/Cheney administration and it wouldn't matter who became President after the fact, it will take a lot money and sacrifice to get us back on track. Geezus no wonder everyone else in the civilized world laughs at us, we have the memory capacity of a gnat. What is wrong with our society that looks the other way, blames everyone else but the actual parties involved. Yes Clinton may have relaxed the rules involving wall street, but it took Bush/Cheney to go crazy with it.
The only thing the Apple approval process should be doing is verifying that the app isn't a virus/malware problem and works correctly as advertised. That is it. This whole obscene/porno/offensive bit is totally up to the individual and is none of Apples business to be censoring. Everything is offensive to someone - most religions and all politicians offend me in some way. This is one of several reasons I will never buy Apple even if their hardware is the best available. Apple is not my mother and I refuse to let them censore what I can and cannot do.

Dig deeper, there are more branches to the government than just the executive branch! For the record, the United States is and always has been a capitalist society. By design, we rise and fall! This system does NOT need large amounts of tax payer money pumped into it to bail it out, the aftershock will be even worse when your taxes raise by as much as 50% in the coming years to pay it off. When business fall, yes it is hard, but new and stronger ones replace them, this is the economic cycle our country has lived with and it is the one that has gotten the country to the superpower it is. So changing it now to socialism doesn't make it better - this alters the formula that made us great in the first place! If I recall correctly, March of 2000 was our last economic slump, yet we recovered rather well from that somehow, same goes for the 80's. We never threw truckloads of money at the problem, doing so doesn't make it go away, just worse! You as well place too much burden entirely on the President. Clinton may have signed the bill, but it was congress that demanded regulations be relaxed! Too many people don't know the hidden/covered-up facts.

Replace Hope with LIAR.
Anyone who has a balanced open mind and follows the job the president and what our government is doing can tell you, he is a liar.
Like the other day, he openly PRAISED the House for their vote on the Clime Cap n Tax Bill. How can you praise a vote when more than 50% of the 1300 page document was added within 3 hours of the vote? NO one was even GIVEN the Bill to read. The Bill promoters just shoved it down the houses throat and those who were "paid off" voted for it. Obama praises stupidity.
The man has placed so much dept upon us and future generations that our economy is going to collapse (already has begun here in California) and what money is left will be siphoned into the banking infrastructure and government funded agendas.
This is not about Red vs Blue this is about getting our liberties ripped out from right under our noses. At the rate we're going to only job we're ever going to have is gonna be from big government.
OR bought out by big government, or taxed to death by big government.
This guy is a liar, look at the things he said in his election, compare them to what efforts he supports today. WE and HE knew very well into his election about this financial crisis. All he has done is given the BIG PAYOFF at everyone's expense. Payoff to industries and corporations that do not deserve a single DIME for their manipulations upon the markets and public. At least have the common sense to see the truth.
Stop being fan boys FFS and WAKE UP!
I am not going to hand you your information, go find it yourselves.
Lazy F*cks!

Apple's app store policies need to be seriously overhauled. They are just so inconsistent, makes me wonder if Apple is not investing enough in the application approval department. Maybe some of Apple's multi billion dollar savings should go towards renovating the app store policies?

Unlike you I do speak more than one language, and English is only my second language. I think I speak better english than you can speak German, french or Dutch (all of which I speak).
So I think it is allowed for me to make that mistake.
