Baby Shaker further exposes App Store flaws

Hello, I am newbie here, This is a nice website Welcome to my website:

Thank you very much.

What! who didnt have a laugh when Maggie caches Bart playing a game boy game that was about killing babies with a bazzoka? if i remember well later on that same episode she seemed to really like the game herself... lol

So what happens when anybody and submit any app to an 'open' app store, id est one without Apple's approval process.

Jew Killer? Slap That Ho? Tip-over The Kid in The Wheelchair?

Is moral acceptance something Apple or even Goole should always police? In a truely open app distribution, the KKK would release an app promoting themselves.

Personally, I think this is something of a wakeup call to a lot of people, especially Apple themselves.

They need to get their heads in the game, because when awesome apps like Tweetie get rejected, and this one slips through, you know that someone isn't doing their job properly

aren't there lots of apps and games where the point is to kill people?

with bullets?

or lasers?

or bombs?

or throwing them off cliffs?


yes shaking a baby to kill it is sick. as is our society in general. especially "people" who suggest others kill themselves because they disagree with some of their opinions.

how is censorship on the iphone going to solve that?

While I'm at it...

How about an app that measures how retarded you are by how much you shake the iPhone when trying to hold it perfectly still? The gimpy crippled spaz crowd will love it!

// being a gimpy crippled spaz myself, I can say that... but don't you say it or I'll kill your ass... eventually...

I can't honestly believe that this wasn't done on purpose. I fully believe that this was the result of a disgruntled developer whose app has been affected by the seemingly random approval criteria Apple seems to have set up. Was the game a good idea, no, not at all. But do I think it worked, yes, yes I do. I think we'll see some good come out of this. But it had to be on purpose, the timing is almost too good.

there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THE APP. big deal. you are taking away the "freedom" of the programmer. this is what open source is all about even if its dark and crazy like "shaking baby app". i'm all for it. if you don't want to support it or download it then DON'T. you guys need to grow up and be adults and let free capitalism keep moving. as soon apple starts regulating programmers will stop making great apps.

Yep, surprise! In dealing with - literally - tens of thousands of app submissions, a few mistakes are made. It represents an error rate that is incredibly low.

Unlike claims about "I Am Rich" and other apps, this *is* a case where an app was approved that should not have been. But as soon as Apple were alerted to the situation, they rectified it. Hardly a story.

What amazes me is that the same people who criticise Apple for this app, are the ones who criticise them for the length of time it takes to get an app approved. You cannot have it both ways - either you want a quicker, but more error-prone process; or you want a slower, more comprehensive process.

No, what truly amazes me is that a process that has an error rate of much less than 0.1% is so resoundingly and repeatedly criticised. I think Apple ought to be congratulated for assessing more than 99.9% of submissions correctly, because that is a truly enviable success rate.

Ok... and your point with this article?

Seriously... people get touchy over the dumbest things. Oh my god, satire that goes across the grain of my ethical boundaries... quick, burn it and whoever created it before they can strike again!

Next thing you know, they'll be drawing cartoons of Muhammad that'll drive terrorists to kill us all!

Besides, how many times have we had instances where we'd like to really shake a baby to death? If anything, this would be a much more suitable substitute than the real thing in the grand scheme of things.

Don't you feel safer driving your minivan at night knowing your odds being carjacked are significantly reduced thanks to all the kiddies out playing GTA4 instead?
