Unpleasant Horse rejected by Apple, 4th & Battery appealing

@shcoome .........I dont like Apples closed - proprietary philosophy on its devices as imho it stifles creativity and utility. However, claiming that they "force 5 yr olds to build iphones' is not only untrue but is also juvenile and a clear misdirection on your part. EVERY big name electronics producer outsources production to asia. XBOX, PS3, Wii, and all the iterations before them were built by asian hands. IMHO Steve Jobs is an arrogant self important jerk, but he has never said anything as stupid as what you just left as a comment.

@GameCherry

Apple did discover that their iPhones were being built by underage workers, but they were only 15-year olds (16 is the required minimum). It was hardly child labor. Hell, I worked at the State Fair when I was 15. Now that was a mess....

@Pasty
That must be why they deleted the tweet.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

but it wont sell and get distributed for free

@PR0F3TA

If you look at the statistics, there are way more android devices than IOS devices out in the wild. So, I highly doubt it would have any issue with being picked up by android users. So go back to your little iphone and get excited when apple announces sometime in the future that they have "created" widgets.

@PR0F3TA
"The game was intended to be available for free on iOS devices later this month."

The plan was for it to be free.

@PR0F3TA
"but it wont sell and get distributed for free "
But it will sell and get distributed for money?

@PR0F3TA For free?! Did you not know that Apple takes a 30% cut?

@Tmdean Naturally, they can't take 30% of $0.....

To develop you have to pay $100 per year or something like that. If you decide to distribute it for money, that's when Apple gets 30%

The real problem here, is Apple treats all of it's audience as if they are all little children. If a 50-year old man spends his hard earned money and purchases and iPhone or iPad, then why can't he have the content on his device that he wants on his device? If the laws of the land say that certain content is appropriate for certain age groups, then who is Apple to come along and say that it is not?

Remember, you are not renting the phones and tablets from Apple; you pay good money for them, and the content on them should be left up to you, the end user.

Imagine if you will, you went out and purchased a brand new laptop or desktop PC, only to be told once you got it home and booted it up, that certain websites, and other various content was off limits to any and all using this brand of computer. I

Imagine if you spent a couple grand purchasing a new, big screen HDTV, only to get it home and find that certain television channels are permanently restricted because the manufacturer does not want to "sully" their "good name" and corporate image by allowing you the user, to access said content?

Or if you purchased a brand, new car, only to find out a month later, that it won't allow you to drive to certain parts of town, because of activities that go on in those neighborhoods?

If either of the above scenarios happened, everyone would be outraged, and up in arms with the manufacturers. And this is EXACTLY what Apple has been doing since bringing out iOS. They are trying to whitewash a very adult world, for the adults - as if we do not know how to take care of ourselves or make our own decisions. All so their corporate image can look good. What a sham. So long as people in China's working conditions are so bad, that they rather commit suicide than continue on working, no consumer electronics company's corporate image is going to look good. Buying from Apple is like walking into a McDonald's, and having Ronald McDonald himself tell you that you are not allowed to eat artery clogging french fries, and the cholesterol inducing cheeseburgers, and the cavity creating milkshakes. And they only options you are allowed to eat, are the salads.

Can you imagine how dead and lifeless modern day computing and the internet would be if Apple had been this stuck up and self righteous back in the early 1980s? It would be just like Apple's 1984 Super Bowl commercial . . . now how is that for irony.
