Apple's Stupid App Store Morality
Update: This silliness has been resolved. Common sense prevailed and Eucalyptus is now available.
Mr.Jobs, get back to work, call in the App Store staff and start firing people.
If you’re wondering why Eucalyptus is not yet available, it’s currently in the state of being ‘rejected’ for distribution on the iPhone App Store. This is due to the fact that it’s possible, after explicitly searching for them, to find, download from the Internet, and then read texts that Apple deems ‘objectionable’. The example they have given me is a Victorian text-only translation of the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana.
The Kama Sutra isn't part of this beautiful Book Reader. It's downloadable from the Interwebs. It's on Macs all around the world. It can be downloaded and read using Safari.
Another over the top and arbitrary Apple App Store disgrace.
They are slow learners.

Need an iPhone Stopwatch?
Steve Jobs would approve. Tap the screen to start, tap again to stop.

The 2008 Pogie Award Goes To
...the cellphone app store takes the trophy as the Tech Idea of the Year.
David Pogue lists a fine array of contenders and I agree with his selection of the "cellphone app store" as the winner.
Without spending more than $30, apps have transformed my iPhone into a powerful netbook. So much so that my next "real computer" will be a desk bound iMac.
