Good for you Trent, but I am guessing crApple will ignore this response as it contains "Naughty" words.
This just goes to show how important Android is.

The craziest thing is it seems to me that Apple looks at maybe one-in-1000 (or less) applications in hopes of catching the "bad" ones. After all, how could a baby-shaking application get past the approval process, yet an application with "naughty" music gets cut?
Also, my friend had an "amateur surgeon" app where you perform surgery with pizza cutters etc. (basically every day type of items) that shows blood etc., it apparently got approved.
There was also an application where it showed a girls breasts in a bikini and you shook the iPhone to cause them to giggle. I believe it got taken down but it was up for quite some time.
I point this out because their "approval" process is insanely screwed up.

I hate NIN's music but I have a lot of respect for Trent Renzor because of this. It would make him go up like 10 notches in my book if he released the app on cydia or installer that would be the best way to stick it to apple since they hate jailbroken iPhones

If Trent can he will. He is a driven man that doesn't do well with people in his way of his goals. He will either escalate this and try to bring more light, attention, and support to his plight; or he will decide to divert his interest while trying to undermine the enemy.
BTW, I was looking at buying my daughter a macbook. NO longer! I'll look at PC alternatives instead. I won't support Apple any longer.

Yes don't buy products because of how good or bad they are, make your purchasing decision based on the morals of the company that owns your product. I take it you don't buy any gas from Exxon/Mobil since they're still refusing to pay money for the Valdez Oil spill? I take it you also don't buy gas from any Texaco / Chevron stations too since they hold the patent to the NiMH battery that would work perfect for Electric Cars?

Electric cars are a joke between maintenance and replacing battery's at 3-10K a shot every few years..... we are better off with 50+(preferably 80+) MPG vehicles running on gas(liquid),liquid coal or gas(vapor). Green tech, no at the very least car based green tech is nice and all but like most feel good measures its will cost us more than whats it worth, just look at what its done to corn/sugar/crop land. We need to focus on lab work to get the stuff ready for the real world not fcking over an already screwed up system. So I'll say it again we need small,cheap efficient vehicles NOW and we have the tech to make them using fossil fules but everyone is focusing on green which is not only not efficient but far from cheap in the short to mid run.

I don't buy gas from Exxon/Mobil (because of their illigal price fixing), and the NiMH battery is a terrible solution for electric cars, it weighs too much, stores too little, and would never last 10 years like a Lithium-Ion battery. Also, I will not buy ethanol (other than the 10% that is mixed into gas by law) because the manufacturers refuse to go celulosic. I won't even go to Wal-Mart because of the way they treat both employees and customers (plus the censorship).
Companys only care about one thing: money. If you keep buying from them when they do wrong, they will keep doing wrong!

he didnt say points he said "rewarded" and in the game you get your money back from the ho after you beat her arse so yeah i would consider that rewarding for the most part, or atleast rewarding for anyone willing to pay for a hooker, in a video game, and then beat her up......

Emits Nitrous Oxide depending on how its consumed and costs more than some fossil fuels to make it uses way to much electricity to make.
If used as a flue source its current price would triple 3 or 6 times to keep up with demand........

A steam engine would be the best solution to the issue of emissions and Waste why it will never happen. it cant be controlled and the government doesn't want anything they can't control.

Steam is more readily available, we already have a combustion engine in almost every vehicle.
air would work but it would require a major engine over haul, steam not so much.

The power needed to create the heat for stream makes it moot as are all the cars on the road today.
What we need is a revolution in vehicles in the US, we need low cost highly efficient vehicles first off we need to get rid of the crash test mafia and replace it with mandates that all new vehicles are required to have a reinforced cab(doors/roof,ect the whole area is crush proof for most crashes) if have to make it as simple as full roll cage in the cab area then so be it adding 30-80% onto a car because of over reactive safety nazis and regulation whores is adding to the overall burden of over priced,bloated and poorly built vehicle industry in the US.
Then make any customized or not street legal vehicle to be used on the road force the owner to have a minuim of 150K in insurance on the vehicle.
This way you can have a insurgence of modernized vehicles for the masses who are making less and less every year at the end of the day.
edit
Ok steam is on par with compressed air, didn't know Volkswagen made one that could start in 30sec, though you have to wonder about icing/freezing issues though beet juice would work.... LOL .

Almost make you wonder if the united states is actually communist. We can't use freedom of speach.We keep changing the constitution. And big companys will always short change everyone because they know the goverment will bail them out each time. Who is it going to offend? the person buying the music or the person wanting to buy the app for the iphone?

No, we are Socio-Fascists (minus the universal healthcare)...get it right!
...But seriously, this thread started about Apple's censorship of an iPhone app and turned into a discussion about steam powered cars and the breakdown of freedoms. The USA government does a lot of evil things, but they have never banned "the Downward Spiral" and that is what this news article is all about...Apple (once the Alternative, rebel platform) banning an app based on it's alternative content.

How do we keep changing the Constitution? In 220 years, it has only been amended 27 times. 10 of those were right off the bat to get it passed. So to me, 17 amendments in 220 years would not imply that we keep changing Constitution . . .
Now, with commie libs who want judicial activists who will reinterpret the Constitution every chance they have, we do have a problem with it constantly being changed with application. Defeats the whole point of stare decisis.

they have bills the negate other bills. the only bill they don't have is the bill that mandates what toilet paper the American people wipe there ass with.
there is no difference between apple and the government they both have a common goal,control.
