Denying iPhone Apps…for Science!

March 4th, 2010

The idiocy is summed in the first paragraph.

Here we go again … Apple App Store Fail No. 5102928. A few weeks ago stealth Israeli startup Tawkon gave me a sneak-peak devel­oper build of what I believe is the most impor­tant app on my iPhone. What does it do? It ana­lyzes the cel­lu­lar radi­a­tion your iPhone emits at any given moment, at any given loca­tion, whether in standby mode, or within a call.

fatwa

what jus­ti­fi­ca­tion Apple uses to block crap like this. Paranoiac lud­ditism like this has no place on the iPhone. Fucking deal with it.

As an aside, in doing some Binging (fuck you Google) before writ­ing this, I found a nice ran­dom write-up about the issue. Read and be educated.

Don Tennant, King of Shit

ITBusinessEdge had the dis­tinc­tion of join­ing those ranks. In the arti­cle, Why I Regret Buying an iPhone, Tennant makes the case against the iPhone.

I can already sense my read­ers tun­ing out. And why not? Articles bash­ing the iPhone/iPad/iWhatever are a dime a dozen these days. Hell, even august bod­ies like CNET resort to that age-old tac­tic when they need a lit­tle link lov­ing. But stay with me gen­tle reader, this smear of feces is not the usual link-bait Apple bash­ing. This is a turd of a whole dif­fer­ent stench. No, in this piece of fuck­wit­tery Don lays out the moral argu­ment against Apple.

I have an iPhone, but if I had it to do over again, I would never have bought one.

Of course it never occurs to Don Tennant, this self impor­tant cunt, that every other fuck­ing con­sumer elec­tron­ics com­pany uti­lizes these same sup­pli­ers. No, his moral out­rage and fop­pish hair are reserved solely for that min­ion of Satan him­self, Steve Jobs.

Congratulations Don Tennant, you are offi­cially the biggest mound of shit in the tank.
