iPhone App Store Rejects Find a New Home

Posted by kdawson on from the huddled-masses dept.

eldavojohn writes "A new site called App Rejections (somewhat slashdotted already) aims to provide a home for misfit apps. With Apple offering no documents or discussions on the matter of application rejections, this site might become a popular place to pick forbidden fruit. Could a third party horn in on Apple's monopoly in the iPhone application market?"

      Pop Quiz:

      1.) a: "Store" b: "Rejects" c: "Find"

      Which one is the verb?

      2.) Discuss why putting all three together in a headline is a bad idea.

  3. Google Guy vs. Mac Guy by MightyMartian · · Score: 3, Funny

    So who will be Google Guy? I mean, they have an actor who basically looks like his only sexual experience has been with his mom's pantyhose for Windows Guy. I'm thinking a flamboyant show-tune singing cross dresser or, even better, a guy in a trenchcoat with a heavy German accent who insists he's from Argentina.

    But isn't it UNamerican to circumvent the intentions of Apple Inc and do whatever you want for yourself?
    I mean, by exactly doing this you are UNfriending yourself. Apple Inc will lose dollar$ because of this and will have less influence to set the desired norms, values, regulations, etc.
    All of this might even be illegal. Yes, you are going against the will of the owner of the platform and you might be breaking certain laws while going this route.
    Has this world become an area with revolutionarists?
