Please check the ETAs at the bottom of this post for situation updates! Can you still find the app? Apple may be pulling it. Let me know! Thanks!As you may and may not know, Apple Computer exercises editorial control over the content of the Apple Store, through which music, ebooks, and iPhone and iPad applications are sold. It's been called -

I already considered Apple to be sellouts of the lowest order. After the DRM nightmares and just generally shitty quality of my last few apple products, I swore never to let another Apple product darken my door. I've never said word one to anyone representing the company about it.

Now? Screw them. I will be letting them know what I think.

Good, thanks. It's important to make that call, as well as tell other people.

This makes me angry too. Forwarding the info to the appropriate activist corners I know.

[solarbird]

Awesome. Don't forget to call yourself, too. (I'd have posted an email link but I didn't see one that I didn't think was going to be a black hole.)

Thank you for the tip-off. That's -horrible-. I'll be executing some complaints.

[solarbird]

Excellent. Thanks.

Thanks for spotting this. I'm spreading the word.

[solarbird]

Excellent. Don't forget to ring them yourself, too.

We're an apple-free house, but I sent it to emmacrew.

You are? But you complain about iTunes and how much you hate it all the time.

(I mean, hi, you're about to give birth, so, KINDA BUSY. But I thought you still had the iTunes h8. Besides, for the other people reading, I don't think you have to be an Apple user to go "hey what the fuck?" in this case.)

[kathrynt]

. . . oh of COURSE I do. Yes. we have two ipods. Which I somehow completely forgot about? Because they don't run apps? Or something.

I will call and bitch tomorrow. Thank you.

[solarbird]

Thanks! Hopefully even if it gets pulled down quickly, a bunch of calls will still happen to drive a lesson home.
