Not an approval process, by default users won't see apps with certain sets of permissions. Techy users can set themselves to see all.
this is a job for common sense.
Whenever you install an app it shows you what it is requesting accessing to. If you see a 'wallpaper of the day' app wants access every aspect of your phone, you might reconsider installing it.
Android too has a "very well defined API". It just provides more liberty for more innovation without the notion that every user needs to be told what they can and cannot have their phones do.
However as others have pointed out, that is not really the role of IIS (by default). It is a development issue of building parameters rather than concatenating a statement string together.

I think the event in question happened prior to the patching
I know what they mean, it was meant in analogy, not literal. Is facebook public yet?

it can
It is amazing that an service pack would even be supported up to 2 years after the next service pack.
I think the term "monopoly" is no longer applicable. There are plenty of OS choices today. Doesn't Apple make an OS?
You could say this for anything with a computer. A phone is far more of an intimate device then a computer in a car.
They still make tons of money. How are they in bad shape?

You have a clear list of what the app needs access to prior to installing. Rights are not granted with subterfuge.
It allows for more choices rather then just defaults for things like SMS, web browsing, and email i.e. do what you want with your phone.
Shoutcast is great, not an AOL creation, just acquired.
You are correct, i do not understand the whole platform. My phone gets OS updates ota. I thought this might have been similar.
I wonder if AT&T's network will melt :/
I did Anonymous Coward; it's unlikely they will start with the more complicated concepts in kindergarten
