Of course they'll approve it. It's a highly popular app, and when Apple turned down the Google Voice app, the FTC investigated them and Apple had to immediately reverse itself.
The lack of Google Maps apps in the App Store is probably because of TOS issues. Third Party iOS apps can't use google maps for turn by turn directions according to Google's restrictions to developers, so that excludes Google's APIs
Yes. Once you add a weak point into the system, the entire system becomes just as weak. If you allow anyone with a pilot license to walk through with a reduced check, any real criminal/terrorist will just get a license or steal one to walk through.
The government is not in charge of your healthcare and never has been. Your doctor is in charge of your healthcare. The government put itself in charge of paying for it for a big chunk of the population, but you can always say no and pay for it yourself if you please.
Politifiact called the claim that the ACA was a "government takeover of healthcare" as "Lie of the Year"
Baloney. The reason the story became national news was because a white guy chased down an unarmed black kid despite cops saying not to, shot him dead, and the police let him go with not even an arrest. That was what made it a headline. Had the roles been reversed, I doubt Martin would have gotten off so easy.
Virgil Goode, the jackass who assumed Keith Ellison, the first Muslim in Congress, was some kind of foreigner? The one who tried making a law stopping him from taking the Oath of office on a Quran, and insisted that all Americans use a bible? He decided to run for president?
Both Android and iOS can do this. Apple gives away the developer tools, you can compile your own apps and even distribute them to 100 other people ad hoc. You only need App Store approval for distributing it to the public in a non-enterprise environment.
Fine, but who is going to pay for your ambulance and ER bill and rehab costs? More often than not, it falls upon the taxpayer. I have a say in this, though you and I may not like it.
Then how come I never see people celebrating speech they disagree with? Where are the people who cheer on Rick Santorum's stance that gay relationships are equivalent to bestiality, or Michael Savage's comments that there needs to be a second Holocaust but this time on Muslims? Nobody is saying they don't have a right to speak, but we also have a responsibility to call people out on their abuse of it for nefarious ends.
The problem is bureaucracy. I work in a clinic, and the new Electronic Health Records REQUIRE every patient's email address. The Health Care regulations require that the patient be able to access his or her records securely online via a website. The problem is that our clinic has a lot of senior citizens and nursing home patients. An 85-year-old usually does not have an email address, in my experience. Thus the clinic is forced to use dummy email addresses etc. The system won't allow a blank, and the government will not reimburse for empty records.
For a lot of these protestors, YouTube = America. In countries without freedom of the press, when something gets published, they frequently assume that the government must have allowed it to be published. Thus, the US government is responsible.
Actually, Apple has allowed many forum reader and commenting apps on the App Store. Alien Blue is considered the best app for reading Reddit, arguably using the touchscreen is way better than browsing on a PC/Mac.
Interestingly enough, at the time his defense lawyers actually tried to make the claim that perhaps some of OJ's DNA could have wafted from the test tube with his blood into the other tube containing the crime evidence. I guess the public was so new to the idea of DNA that some thought it possible.
Yes, Apple has created a Mac App Store to sell apps, and showcase some "Best of" apps. It is not exclusive, and you can still download and install apps the normal way. Apple has gotten stricter, requiring anyone who wants their app listed in the store to use sandboxing to prevent security holes in the OS. That's what this story is about.
This may be true a lot, but not always. AT&T Live support, for example, presents you with a login page before the chat. You have to fill out the form; the phone number, the name its registered under, the last 4 digits of social security, and a dropdown box with type of issue. That shaves a lot of this work off of the overall time.

Shall we blame MS for this? Or did they wash their hands of it?

It's halal, so he can do it. Pakistanis don't have a problem with Jews, they have a bigger problem with Israelis.

Agreed. The Downing Street Memo proves he knew the illegality of his actions and did it anyway.

Why would the CIA, with a $50 billion budget, use public forums rather than some sort of secure satellite link or a VPN?

Apple has already made iPhones compatible with hearing aids and appears to be looking to refine it with "made for iPhone" aids.

though probably not on the App Store.

Apple is saying they didn't give the data to the FBI. Maybe it came from a leak inside AT&T? They also have billing data.
So they're admitting the security theater at the checkpoint is ineffective? And more theater is needed?

Android is a desktop OS? (We're talking about Mac OS and the Mac App Store, not iOS)
You're talking about a country with a per capita income of only $2,600. Clearly only the top 1% buy these phones and thus the expensive apps.
