![]() (And, by the way,” for those that want to bring up FPS or similarly violent games: A defenseless infant is actually different than an armed soldier. Of course, it never should have been approved in the first place, but we already knew that Apple’s app approval process had major issues long before that particular SNAFU. That’s why we immediately condemned that despicable “Baby Shaker” app and applauded Apple for nixing it. Once again: We don’t know if Apple’s problem is: (a) the quality of the staff they’ve hired to flip the coins they use to determine app approvals (b) if said staff is totally overwhelmed (c) if said “staff” is really just that lone not-so-smart MobileMe launch guy whom the new, more mellow Steve didn’t have the heart to fire or (e) all of the above, but they really ought to have worked it out by now.Īpple’s only considerations should be to make sure apps do not harm the device and/or encourage physically harming others, directly or indirectly. MacDailyNews Take: Yeah, that’s right, we said “idiot.” Where’s the consistency, Apple? In this video, Comm appeals directly to Steve Jobs to make the review process more transparent and consistent: ![]() “Maybe the volume is so great that Apple simply can’t manage the flow, and thus is unable to provide the level of support that is necessary,” mused Bailout Bucks creator, The Codist on his blog.A reviewer at the iTunes app store recently rejected a simple application Joel Comm had submitted due to “limited functionality.” While bad taste may not seem like a precursor to accepting an application into the App Store, according to TechTree India, a recent app developer had his Bailout Bucks novelty app rejected because it “ridiculed public figures”. “You have no idea the number of children your actions have put at risk by your careless, thoughtless and reckless behaviour,” he added. “As the father of a three-year-old who was shaken by her baby nurse when she was only five days old, breaking three ribs, both collarbones and causing a severe brain injury, words cannot describe my reaction. This macabre application was criticised by Patrick Donohue, founder of the Sarah Jane Brain Foundation, who wrote an open letter to Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs. ![]() Before Baby Shaker, there was nothing you could do about it.” Babies are everywhere you don’t want them to be! They’re always distracting you from preparing for that big presentation at work with their incessant crying. The application from Sikalosoft states in the introduction: “On a plane, on the bus, in a theatre. How this application works: the crying baby is silenced by shaking the iPhone several times, at which point two red X’s appear over the baby’s eyes. In contrast to Apple’s usually stringent (apart from iFart of course) overview of acceptable applications, Baby Shaker was approved for sale on the App Store for 99c. Following objections by children’s groups to an iPhone application that allows the user to virtually shake an onscreen image of a baby to stop its crying, Apple has removed the offending app from its iTunes Store. ![]()
