Rewind to March.* Location: iPhone SDK press conference.* His holiness, the Jobs, regrets to inform us that the new App Store will not be open to the (developing) public, all apps must bear the Apple blessing to be listed.* This is for our own good, he insists, mumbling something about an iPhone virus that gives you Tourette's syndrome.* He then reassures the developing community by claiming that only malicious apps will be bounced, erupts in uproarious evil laughter, turns into a bat, and flies out the nearest open window.
Unfortunately, we now have pretty solid evidence that Jobs had his fingers crossed behind his back, as apps have been iBounced for some of the most senseless reasons.* Among my favorites are "you can't be better than us at email" and "this app my piss off the .001 percent of people that stil support Bush."
