"running to the press and trashing us never helps."

Really? I thought that's EXACTLY what got the comic strip author's app reinstated.

Of all the things I disapprove of from apple, this is actually very good. It fits them to have an actual screening process for applications, or software to be installed on to their devices, which is why most people who own macs...have macs. I mean..If I had an iphone, and I was just buying random apps, suddenly my phone is infested with things I don't want, I'd blame the company that let the apps be available.

At least Apple is telling people what it expects from Apps. I still don't know how Apple gets away with this legally. Imagine if the only way to install programs on Windows 8 is to download them from the pre-approved list from Microsoft's store? The lawsuits would never end.

I hope this is sarcasm you are directing at mindless Apple users.

Are you seriously saying if you buy 20 different worthless poker games from Best Buy, its Best Buy's fault for selling them to you, and not your own fault for buying and installing them?

"Apple is also sticking to its guns when it comes to the 'no porn' rule it put in place a while back."

- So far the only thing I like about Apple.

Why? It wouldn't make a bit of a difference since people can just get on WiFi ans go to any pr0n site... oh wait.... iOS can't play Flash... oh well.

I have mixed feelings about this. One one hand Apple arbitrarily rejecting apps can be frustrating. On the other hand, it can be hard to find the good apps behind the endless slew of shovelware.

Which is more annoying, the idea of even more fart and other equally useless apps or Apple's censorship? I'm honestly not sure.

Congratulations, Tomshardware! You posted one of the biggest news stories in technology a day late and added a sensationalist headline, rather than a headline detailing what actually happened! Unbiased journalism at its finest (laugh).

Call me a troll all you want, but how can you expect intelligent discussion and comments when you instigate and encourage Apple bashing?

Seems more like you are trolling us!

they are not instigating it, we bash apple of our own free will.
Apple needs no instigator in any discussion to invoke the bashing, it as its own entity does well enough by itself.

Hahaha you made my day!

Still, whilst reading in between the lines on tom's articles it is kind of amusing to see them pick a side.
