Apple Reconsiders, Approves NIN iPhone App
gyrogeerloose writes "According to MacRumors, NIN's iPhone application has been approved. Trent Reznor has reported via his Twitter account that the now-approved app was resubmitted without modification, which suggests that Apple reconsidered their initial rejection. This should really come as no surprise to anyone who follows Apple news since it follows the company's typical pattern of handing potentially controversial iPhone apps, especially when it concerns high-profile rejections."
Oh yeah? Then how'd you type that, smartypants?

They approved the app this time around because now the iPhone will have parental controls to filter objectionable material (included in the beta of 3.0).
So what you're saying is, because of Trent Reznor, Apple implemented parental controls in the week between the initial rejection and the application being accepted.
Wow, I had no idea he had that much influence. Trent Reznor is God.
Ah, so Apple users are basically Wal-Mart shoppers. Thanks for the insight.

Correlation != causation, dammit.
There could be some other factor that caused both events.
Like, say, the aliens who assume human form who have impersonated both Steve Jobs and Trent Reznor (to say nothing of Manny Ramirez or Dennis Hopper) have a diabolical plan to get millions of people to download their thought-control software via NIN downloads over the iPhone.

You young kids with your "Copying" and your "Pasting". In my day when a key on our keyboard broke, we learned to live without it. And our non-adjustable CT-syndrome-causing keyboard was in the case with the monitor and the CRT, and we liked it that way.
In retrospect, it sure made WASD games a pain in the ass, though. AAAAAAAAAA *move left dammit* AAAAAAAAAAAAAA *argh, died again!*

And I've owned my lawn mower since 1999 and still hear things I haven't heard before.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trent had a lawnmower sample in there somewhere.
