Just thought this was worth posting because of Trents response, a good read as usual.

For those unfamiliar with the app check out this video explaining it. Pretty cool stuff.

Apparently Apple has changed their stance
RollingStone.com reports: The delayed update to NINE INCH NAILS' iPhone application has finally been approved by Apple, according to a Tweet from the band's tech-savvy mastermind, Trent Reznor.
The news follows some online railing against Apple, who initially had rejected the update, because, the company claimed, it contained objectionable content that originated from the band's 1994 album "The Downward Spiral". Reznor reasoned that since the record is sold through the iTunes store, an app with the same content (the app's podcast feature boasts "Closer", the song that helped earned the disc a "Parental Advisory" warning) should be treated no differently. And apparently, his public outcry has shifted the company's thinking on the matter, and, as Reznor excitedly announced this afternoon, it "should be live in a few hours."

Its the principle of the matter.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}
what is? that i never cared for apple to begin with? apple is such a popular company im not surprised they act like this. dont wanna ruin their reputation by taking any real chances with art. spend money on marketing, thats where they take their chances. lets not forget apple even admitted to being able to zap iphones to remove stuff they dont like.
trent ususally has his hands on the pulse of things, kinda surprised he didnt see this coming though. maybe trent shouldnt throw so much support behind one company anyways. there are blackberries still.
The princple of the matter is that with itunes you can download anything you want that has swearing/subjective material but they wont carry the app because it has swearing in it, might as well remove all music that ahs vulgur language on it from itunes, its a double standard.
