Imagine a law which, in the name of deterrence, provides for a $750 fine [the lower threshold for statutory damages] for each mile-per-hour that a driver exceeds the speed limit, with the fine escalating to $150,000 per mile over the limit if the driver knew she was speeding.
Catch your attention? Go read the rest.
To Apple:
I will not buy a new iPhone unless the retarded efforts to censor the development community end. I can appreciate your desire to protect your image but you have failed to even remotely come close to doing that. You have allowed apps that fart and apps that kill babies but rejected many other apps. The latest example being a book reader called Eucalyptus because a text about the Kama Sutra is available.
I would consider it good business to ensure applications follow APIs properly and/or that the applications do not crash, i.e. they seem to work as intended. The business of trying to censor content is anti-American. If you as a company object to certain material then don’t feature it on your front page but stop preventing it from being sold on the (only legitimate) store that exists for the iPhone.
Stop being evil.
Sincerely,
Nathan Nutter
