Apple The situation regarding Apple's App Store for the iPhone is getting weirder by the day. Several applications have been rejected from the App Store based on seemingly dubious claims such as duplication of functionality (even though they didn't duplicate anything), or alikeness to default applications. Two such cases made headline news over the past few days; Podcaster and MailWrangler. The developers of these applications openly protested against these rejections, and apparently, Apple doesn't really like that. Apple now reiterates that rejections fall under the NDA, prohibiting developers from speaking up about rejections.

I hope Apple meets their history here - would serve them right. So, Apple phone, please go the way of Firewire, which co-coincidently is the way of the dodo, too... Apple really learns its lessons harder than a retarded child and you guys are no help in buying their crap ;)


Somehow, somewhere, in your mind a highspeed serial transport that is taking over the auto, aerospace and other fields that already has the DV camcorder industry and it's commercial breathren is not successful because your freakin' external drives, music players and cheap digital cameras don't come with Firewire?

Firewire is so successful that even Apple has been phasing it out.

Yup, phasing it out by including Firewire 800 ports on MacBook Pros, 2x800 & 2x400 ports on Mac Pros - and developing the Firewire 3200 standard to boot.
