The victim has a small penis in his pants, but the culprit has a hairy vagina around his mouth. Is it irony, coincidence, or Love?

Did you RMFP?

The publisher made a decision the poster disagrees with. If it's a big enough deal then the poster should find a new publisher that refuses to sell through Apple until Apple changes their policy.

It sounds like the problem is really between you and your publisher, not between you and Apple. It may be time for you to find a publisher that shares your position on the situation, because it doesn't sound like your publisher does.

There is no way in hell the EU is ever going to let that happen. Tables are open, place your bets!

I think Apple's reasoning behind this policy is pretty simple: If you want to develop cross-platform applications then build web apps.

Section 3.3.1 is the middle ground between Apple's policy when the iPhone was first released in 2007 and the policy that existed prior to 3.3.1. Remember that entire year that we begged for the ability to write native apps?

Now Apple is partially rolling back their policy and cutting out 3rd party development tools for native apps, but at the same time (whether they realize it or not) they are pushing the web as their preferred platform for cross-platform application development.

There are legitimate negative consequences associated with the 3.3.1 policy, but I think it's hard to argue with the fact that a policy like this is good for the future of web applications and improving the web as a development platform.

That sushi in the banner is imitation crab. That's a red flag.

I hope this article is a joke; it's the thing that would make this story interesting.

"To the very best of the collective ecosystem knowledge..."

Any statement that begins like that is surely BS.

Actually, it's a Free as in Consumer and Business issue. People should be free to buy products that suit their needs without government interference and businesses should be free to implement a business model without government interference.

Apple has a piece of hardware and software that people want to buy, but people like you want to interfere.

I should be free to buy what I want.

Where's my token agreement?

Ok, you convinced me.

I'm American, not Iranian. I don't owe Iran my praise or criticism.

I'm not blaming the people for not releasing their names. That's completely their prerogative, the same as it is mine. But for the Media and the Administration (be it the previous one, this one, or the next) to use unverifiable sources and stories as a pretext for intervention is irrepressible. And for citizens to accept these justifications and not demand evidence again and again, generation after generation is unconscionable.

FTA: "Although it wasn't possible to independently verify their claims, interviewees provided consistently similar descriptions of harassment techniques world-wide. Most asked that their full names not be published."

This is the same game that the Administration and the Media used to get us into Iraq. No names, no verification. But they promise it's true!
