Hiding behind the keyboard to break-up with a girlfriend, or friend is cold and heartless, but welcome to life 2.0.

Businessweek posted a slide show on 20 apps apple reject based on their terms. I think this is ridiculous in my opinion that apple rejects apps based on a process that they have yet to reveal. As this comment on the engadget article I posted previously makes so much sense.

appleMicrosoftI don’t know what the hell Apple is doing I just hope they get fined. I mean come on they are basically telling people what can and can’t go on their hardware, Next thing you know there gonna tell you how to use their product and if you use it wrong it’ll lock you out or some shit. This phone exclusivity shit’s gotta stop with AT&T and the iPhone. I can’t wait to see how Apple responds to the FCC letter. Apple you Fuckers!

Update: Google Voice Apple app blocked by Apple
I am very happy to hear that the FCC is looking deeper into this. Apple and AT&T in my opinion are telling you how to use the services they provide. This is wrong and stifles innovation from the user that user their network. I hope the FCC tears Apple and AT&T a new one. Fuck Apple and AT&T.

Engadget wrote a good article regarding how the smart phone market has six major software/OS giants competing to be number one. In my opinion competition is good but six is way too many I think we need to see three major smartphone OS to emerge from the “war”. Thoughts concerns people? Lemme hear it in the comments.

Wired posted an interesting article on how people are no longer charging for products, but instead giving it away for free. Now free does not mean entirely free of course there is a catch but it’s one usually that does not require a monetary compensation. Take a look at the article for the full story.

The application basically let’s you use your data connection to make phone calls and send text messages for the low price of free. Apple decided to reject the application as it is in bed with AT&T. If this application were to be approved AT&T would lose a lot of money due to less usage of text messaging plans and less phone calls. They would make money on the data end of the side though. Hit the links for more news on this developing story.
