There's other ones like Bing Maps already allowed. Apple's rules are so arbitrary that you never really know what they'll do.
Yeah, its almost as if these "rules" were made up by Apple Haters.
Or that there *are no fixed rules*, and your investment in creating an app is completely at the mercy of the whim (and unknown future business plans) of a single corporate entity.
Or that that is also made up by an Apple Hater.
There are, of course, *multiple* examples of rejections available if you look around:
reported by *iOS developers*, hardly the core group for "Apple haters". But in your world I suppose all of these are lies. It must be nice to be able to hold your opinion and not have to worry about reality.

So... what you're saying, is that the rich should be able to continue to do whatever they want (in this case environmental damage) whereas the poor have to change?
Yeah, but it doesn't boot *into* a BASIC prompt though, does it? That first, automatic, introduction that the 80's computers had is more important than people think.
Oh no, a steep learning curve on a device which is intended to encourage learning. Seriously.
You don't think it's possible for it to be too steep? Do you remember how hard it was when you started, because when I started (Sinclair Spectrum) the programming language was built right into the OS. It was immediately available when you unboxed it. I didn't know I wanted to program before I tried it, so unless it was right there I probably wouldn't have tried.
With all of these different versions of iOS and different versions of hardware, Apple is creating Fragmentation! (gasp!) What is Apple going to do about this? Why can't old apps dynamically adapt to the new screen size? The iPad has been out for how long now?
Well they can't. The API doesn't give developers that capability. Other programming environments (ie, Android, Java, Windows... pretty much all of them) work with a layout system that doesn't guarantee exact positioning very well, but does work on different aspect ratios and densities automatically. iOS uses absolute positioning, so developers have to code specifically to each new screen (save for some special cases where they can get away with it, ie doubling of linear density).
Now not competing with the display on the Galaxy Nexus (also a full 720p display and released 9 months ago)... that's a bit harder to understand.
Well they've backed themselves into a corner with having absolute pixel positioning, so you can't just arbitrarily change the pixel count like you can on an OS with a UI layout manager. Sorry, let me re-phrase that: on a proper OS. They got away with it once by quadrupling the pixels, but they can't do that again (even if the tech was possible, there wouldn't be any point since we're at the limit of human eye capability). To go to something like 1240x720 would require all sorts of weird scaling, and not look very good. Soooo... what can they do? Maintain the pixel width and add black bars, and put some API for the developers to work around it. I'm very glad I'm not a iOS developer now, I have no idea how they can support that without it being pretty hacky.
Does the EU have any other purpose than harassing US companies?
Microsoft failed to do what they agreed to do to resolve the last case. I suppose in your world if someone is convicted of a crime, and they escape from prison, they should be let go because they've already been through a court once?
Also, just because *you* are ignorant as to what else the EU does, doesn't mean they don't also pursue other companies.
This is supposed to be the best university in the country - why are there people being admitted to its courses who aren't already playing with stuff like this in their spare time as kids?
Because not everyone has the support & background to be already proficient at something before they go to university - this is why we have educational establishments!
It's not like the 80's when consumer computers were geared towards programming, there were languages build-in to the micros and monthly programming magazines. The kids of today have it *far* more convoluted and difficult to get into than I did. In fact, this is the entire reason the Raspberry Pi was created, to bring entry-level programming back.
In the long term, would the best outcome here be for Apple to *succeed*? I mean, if they manage to get their main competitor banned in the States, they look like a unbridled predator competing not with quality, but lawyers. (I know generally/. thinks that already, but general public perception is more important) If the reaction for those wanting a Galaxy III is going to be something along the lines of "why can't I have the shiney thing?" and turn their ire on Apple / lawmakers.
Apple might want to be careful what they wish for... the rest of the world will steam ahead unrestricted, and the case for software patents being harmful will get stronger.
Also... I'm doubtful as to whether most people really want to work with someone 'passionate'. A passionate person tends to ignore reason and logic and fly-off-the-handle when they don't get their way. I quite like to keep strong emotions out of my day-to-day job...
Moreover Samsung makes more money selling Apple parts than it does selling consumers phones.
Are you sure about this? Because back-of-the-envelope maths doesn't really bear that out. The markup for Samsung when they're making the parts *and* the finished product has to be much higher than just making components for Apple. And the quantities of finished products has to be similar given high-end Samsung phones roughly equal sales of iPhones.
Not to mention the people who can't be vaccinated for genuine allergic reasons. They rely on the vast majority of normal people getting done and are the really really innocent parties when the negligent parents won't vaccinate their own.
It's still a nice example of saying the opposite of what you mean because the convolutions of politically correct newspeak went over your head.
No, not really. It's 'redundancy' the noun as opposed to 'redundancy' the adjective. It's the English language adapting. This usage is hardly "new PR speak", it's been used for atleast the last 20 years.
This took 2 seconds to find. It's amazing how low the bar for 'insightful' and 'nformative' mods is these days. Apparently all you have to do is make ignorant anti-Apple statements.
Which is ofcourse fine if you are buying a printer *after* you have bought your iPad. If you already own one then you are almost certainly screwed.

Similarly, I suspect the number of "wrong results" is being overstated, probably mostly by Android partisans.
In the UK, *entire towns are missing*. How can this be overstated?

Not sure you fully understand trolling...
Except... it isn't anymore, since 2007 it's been a Luxemborg bank outside UK regulation.

How many employees, what is the gross and net profit and so on is what is really important, and Apple is NOT in the lead in that regard.
Fine, but they're not exactly struggling, are they?
The OS nothing but an app launcher. Only people who have nothing better to do than endlessly tweak stupid shit focuses on the OS over the app.
In that measure, Android wins. iOS is much more restrictive than Android in what it will let apps do...

Not being a biochemist, I wouldn't be able to argue your point. However I'd bet real money that you don't actually know any better than I do.

It's correct as a noun. Just because you haven't heard it before doesn't mean it is (a) new or (b) wrong.
There are lots of examples of crappy business-speak to rail against, but this isn't one of them.
It's still a nice example of saying the opposite of what you mean because the convolutions of politically correct newspeak went over your head.
No, not really. It's 'redundancy' the noun as opposed to 'redundancy' the adjective. It's the English language adapting. This usage is hardly "new PR speak", it's been used for atleast the last 20 years.
"Some redundancies will be necessary"
You mean, those redundancies will be deemed unnecessary, and therefore eliminated. Hate to be a wording nazi, but that's bad.
This is a UK-ism... a 'redundancy' is a job that has been made redundant, and therefore terminated. It's a common phrase here.
