»Apple + iPhone = Censorship

You need to read stories about the App Store from Apple. <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10026806-37.html">This one details that Apple is not allowing a certain comic book from appearing in the store</a>. The comic book is violent and such, but so is all the R rated movies on iTunes and the like. Apple needs to step back and let people use their device the way they want and stop this crazy APPLE MUST APPROVE EVERYTHING stint it is on.

Apple recently took an axe to Murderdrome, an electronic comic book in its App Store that the company deemed too violent. Murderdrome, created by the United Kingdom-based Infuriouscomics, had been created especially for the iPhone. Apple turned down Infuriouscomics' application to put the comic in the App Store.

I'm thankful for the underground scene the Iphone has despite Apple's wishes. The problem is Apple is trying to act like Nintendo did, failing to realize that the Iphone is a phone first.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
