Your Pervy Apps May Still Not Run Wild In The Apple Store!
Apple came up with a crazy idea-it's going to make the guidelines for iPhone and iPad app approval public! Nuts right? "For the first time we are publishing the App Store Review Guidelines to help developers understand how we review submitted apps" is how Apple put it. But bad news too, because here's the part of the guidelines: "'Apps containing pornographic material, defined by Webster's Dictionary as 'explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings,' will be rejected." It's crazy that the technology of the would-be future refuses to allow the present to catch up with it. (Also, Webster's Dictionary! I bet there's an app for that. But who cares.)






Guess TheAwl is gonna get blocked on apple devices now!
(I find your blog very engorging.)
"…emotional feelings."
(urge to kill rising)
Aesthetic stimulation gives me a boner.
They need to write an iNanny app to tell when something is lurid enough to make either an aging mid-western spinster or Steve Jobs blush.
Steve Jobs doesn't blush, he just rolls up his turtleneck over his face.
