Can't say anything that disagrees with our spin


Maker of
expensive toys, Apple seems to think that if you do not agree with its marketing spin you have no right to exist.

The outfit regards its piss poor iTunes software as so perfect that it cannot be improved and is so violently opposed to criticism it censor's people who point out its obvious flaws. This week game developer Tommy Refenes publicly called Apple's app store "awful" and "horrible."

Ranting at last week's Game Developers Conference "Indie Gamemakers Rant" Refenes said that he "absolutely f.....g hate[s] the iPhone app store." The iPhone gaming market was like the low quality Tiger handheld gaming systems of the 80s and 90s. Apple of course is too small minded to handle criticism particularly when it is trying to convince the world+dog that its iPhone store is full of quality programming and easy to use.

According to Kotaku, Apple is refusing to say why it pulled the game. The developer told Kotaku he guessed that Jobs Mob is mad that I said that their store sucks and the iPhone is a Tiger handheld. Obviously there is a price for thinking different if you are in the Apple sales world. You have to think different in the same way as Steve Jobs.
