Doctor: "Don't do that."

Yes, we get it, Apple rejects apps. The only news about this is that people still think it is news. News flash: When you cede 100% control to a third party, you have ceded 100% control to a third party. Next time, don't do that.

At least this is just an app, I shudder when I think of the guys who are trying build businesses around Twitter. Good for Twitter, not so good for them.

It's news to me because it's another different example of why they're rejecting an app. Is the news shocking? No, not at all. But these stories have actually been helpful to read because I'm getting a better and better sense of what to avoid. It's not news when it's the same reason over and over again, but reading about the different reasons apps are being rejected is giving me a better overall "feel" for the whole approval system and what to avoid.
