Why the frell did no one tell me about this?
The small print indicates the new series will “revive and expand” the Farscape universe — so no guarantees on John, Aeryn, Chiana, D’Argo, or Rygel. But if it’s the same universe, with the same people behind the scenes involved, I remain optimistic.
It has come to light that two applications written for the iPhone have been denied a place on the iTunes store, not because of some malicious intent, or because they enable users to violate the law, but because they duplicate features already offered on Apple software. Which Apple doesn’t like.
Daring Fireball has already commented on how the Podcaster app has been rejected though it doesn’t actually break the iTunes SDK agreement (apart from a nebulous part about Apple excluding apps it doesn’t like).
MailWrangler has also been snubbed for “duplicating functionality”.
What I don’t get is if these apps cost extra, and do the same thing as apps Apple includes on the iPhone for free, and people need to buy an iPhone in order to use these apps in the first place… what is Apple afraid of?
Finally, if you’re still confused how apps get approved for the iPhone, The Joy of Tech will spell it all out for ya.
Here are some pics I took while wilderness camping with three friends in the backcountry of Joshua Tree national park over the weekend.
