Apple Removes Wi-Fi Finders From App Store

jasonbrown writes "Apple on Thursday began removing another category of apps from its iPhone App Store. This time, it's not porn, it's Wi-Fi. Apple removed several Wi-Fi apps commonly referred to as stumblers, or apps that seek out available Wi-Fi networks near your location. According to a story on Cult of Mac, apps removed by Apple include WiFi-Where, WiFiFoFum, and yFy Network Finder."

    You can't buy one, but if you wink just right, one might follow you home from the bar.

    "Kafkaesque" = "boring" as far as I can tell. I'm not sure that's what you meant though.

    If big companies are not spared what about the individual developers?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they aren't spared either.

    iPhone has more software than Android, hence more options.

    Ah yes, greater variety in fart generator applications is really high on my list of features I want from a phone.
