Forgive me if this is taken as Trolling, but I am wondering what you guys make of Apple refusing to carry an app on their Apps store that publishes the work of a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/15/mark_fiore_rejected_from_app_store/

I’ve always thought of Stephen Fry as an upholder of the British traditions of Liberty and Freedom of Speech and can’t help feel that Apple is currently in opposition to those traditions.

Valid point, all the way.

But, Apple is a proprietary business all the way too. It's not that they haven't created some great stuff, but the marketing image of being non-conformist, business-wise, is total b.s. and meant to be sucked up by fanboys who prefer to suspend their disbelief in favor of all things glossy

Really? Wow.

Hmmm..I didn't see anything in the article nor in the OP's statement that indicates anyone thinks he is.

Really? Wow.
