Apple Just Says Yes To iPhone Smoking Game
ZosX sends along a puff piece from Wired's Brian X. Chen: "Apple on Monday approved Puff Puff Pass, a $2 game whose objective is to pass a cigarette or pipe around and puff it as many times as you can within a set duration. So much for taking the high road, Apple. The game allows you to choose between smoking a cigarette, a cigar, and a pipe. Then you select the number of people you'd like to light up with (up to five), the amount of time, and a place to smoke (outdoors or indoors). And you're ready to get right on puffing."

Yes, you're right. Look like they need to go out and buy a new Magic 8-Ball.
We all knew it was going to wear out sooner or later.

Am I the only one bothered that in the picture of the app, there's 2 hot girls, 2 "cool" guys and a fat geek with a beard?
I really wonder what apple's policy on employee drug usage is........
Ah well. It will get banned and ported to android in a few months. Did anyone port the shaking baby game? I could think of all sorts of fun, twisted apps for the android. How about

Anyone remember the talk to jesus app for Mac OS 7? I loved that thing I could totally port that to android. Anyone still have a copy? (My old mac drive died years ago)

You just gave me really good idea for an app... a magic 8 ball that uses the accelerometer on the iphone, and all of the answers relating directly to whether or not your app will get approved for the app store. Unfortunately, I doubt that this app would get approved for the app store, either. oh well.
Hey, you never know... they might use your app to approve your app!
Then sue you to kingdom come.

For every app accepted there were 100 rejected
You think it's emulating a cigarette you're blowing?
Hint: this is a modification of an existing app, where 'suck' turned into 'blow' and fellatio changed into smoking.
I don't know this for a fact, just an educated guess :)
Makes sense for the developer to modify the app to be acceptable to Apple's more attuned tastes, and their key demographic.

and all other apps thereafter.
wait...are you SURE you haven't already submitted it?
This seemed like a reasonable sig at the time.
Dear bsDaemon,
Please remove your idea at once as it infringe on our patent for process approval.
Sincerly, Steve.

Exactly, and you can probably buy a [insert a regional colloquialism for a small quantity of cannabis here] for the price of this app, so why pretend?
