Apple Rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone App

jarrettwold2002 writes "Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails announced via his Twitter account today, 'Apple rejects the NIN iPhone update because it contains objectionable content. The objectionable content referenced is "The Downward Spiral."' The initial NIN Access iPhone app garnered much fanfare (Wired article, Guardian article) and was approved by Apple. The update has been rejected due to an album reference. If Nine Inch Nails is having problems with censorship and approval what kind of problems are you having with the iPhone app approval process?"

    does this mean that they're likely to reject my stroker port from the commodore 64? http://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/reviews/view.php%3Fid%3D142

    Your first two sentences were interesting. The rest of your post was flamebait... what does voting Democrat and going to church have to do with this, and why is it "PR brainwashing" and why is anyone who disagrees with you an "Apple fanboi". IMHO, any post that uses the word "fanboi" should instantly be auto-modded flaimbait.

    So anyway, if you're modded to -1 it won't be because you spoke ill of the almightly. To the contrary, it's very popular to bash Apple on Slashdot and your post will most likely NOT be modded flamebait even though it is. Enjoy your free karma.

    good church going people who would rather vote Democrat than see anything with a little adult content

    Come on, at least get your stereotypes straight! It's good church-going Republicans who want to burn the vile pornographers and fornicators at the stake to please Jesus Christ Our Lord And Savior. Democrats hate porn because they're all secret Muslims who are paving the way for President Hussein's upcoming declaration of sharia law ... or because they're under the thrall of the Godless man-hating hairy-legged feminists, I can never remember which.

    The correlation between ignorance of statistics and using "correlation is not causation" as an argument is close to 1.

    For the Apple fanbois, feel free to mod me down for speaking ill of the almighty......the power of Jobs compels thee.

    Why would you get modded down? Putting up Steve Jobs in the supposed light of divinity as seen by "Apple fanbois" is a common, subtle straw man used to get modded up around here.

    I'm guessing you already knew that.
