You only call it censorship if you disagree with the decision. He signed up for the app store, he agreed to the terms and violated them. That doesn't seem like censorship to me.
The interesting part of this entire story, not just today but since the Black Hat conference, is how misunderstood the issue really is. The presenters were not indicating that there was a specific issue found with Mac OS X, but rather, by showing that Mac OS X was susceptible to the attack, other OS's were also susceptible. In essence, they were stating "Hey, if we can do it on a Mac, then we can do it elsewhere." They were not attack hardware on a Mac or on a PC but rather a specific Wireless card and driver. That is the real issue. I wish people would stop freaking out and making this bigger than it really is.
Although there are many people in this world who are confused because of these terms, let's define exactly what we are talking about. Evolution is a process where in being change over a period of time. There is a lot more to that definition, but that is the basis.
The confusion comes from what is being taught in schools. Scientific theory is being taught as a truth. Science in school teaches that evolution exists - rightly so as it does - however, as a result the teachers and professors are making the jump to being descendants of simians and the like. This is an error on their behalf. There is STILL a "missing link" and as a result we should not be teaching that it is by evolution that Man has come to be. Granted, it IS by evolution that Man continues to CHANGE, but it isn't exactly HOW man has come to BE.
Creationism teaches that there is an intelligent being that created the heavens, the stars, the universe and Man. It teaches that Man and animals come from a more divine path. That is it. Now can creationism and the "theory" of evolution prove either of the afore mentioned paths? The answer is simply, no. Thus I feel that it is necessary that they both be taught so that children and parents can believe in one or the other themselves.
Remember, neither science nor religion can be proved by the other! Science cannot prove that there is NO God and that events did not occur divinely. Also, religion cannot prove that there was no Law that a Divine Being used to spawn the process.
I submit that Both are Correct if you bring them together and that BOTH are wrong if you don't.
