    Watch out, Joe’s Bait and Tackle, you better not have a big, open glass door with light wooden tables along the middle and light wooden shelves lining the walls on which you will display your wares, including, but not limited to laptops and computers. Apple has that entire color scheme and layout on lockdown, so [...]

  • Adobe engages Apple in passive aggressive warfare with iPhone’s Flash message

    Adobe engages Apple in passive aggressive warfare with iPhone’s Flash message

    Filed under: ,

    Adobe's seemingly tried everything in its fight to get Apple to tear down enough development barriers to get Flash ported to the iPhone, culminating in a native compilation option in CS5 that... well, really doesn't solve much of anything. So far, nothing's worked. What's next? Get the masses fired up with some old-fashioned propaganda and let 'em riot down at One Infinite Loop, of course! Visiting Adobe's Flash download page from an iPhone now shows a pretty tersely-worded message informing the user that they're getting short-changed simply by Apple's refusal to budge, so yeah, if you hear an occasional cry of "this is outrageous, I'm writing Apple immediately!" while sitting at an airport gate or a coffee shop, you can safely guess what just happened.

  • Apple Approves iPhone App That “Promotes School Shootings”

    Apple Approves iPhone App That “Promotes School Shootings”

    Our beefs with Apple's inconsistent behavior when it comes to approving or rejecting applications for the iPhone / iPod Touch platform has been well documented. iPhoneWorld.ca draws our attention to yet another example that makes us wonder if there's a clear policy at Infinite Loop at all, or if the team is simply trained well in the 'hit or miss' phenomenon. Or as ComputerWorld eloquently puts it: "[Apple's App Store] is lorded over by an inscrutable team of guardians devoted to maintaining control over the platform." Take this Zombie School application from the aptly named iPhone app developer Retarded Arts. It lets you turn your classmates or teachers into zombies, after which you can use a machine gun, bow or grenades to kill them. It's a pretty tasteless game, but I can see how the team at Apple responsible for screening new apps for submission in the App Store could have missed the sensitiveness surrounding the topic of the game to ultimately approve it.
