That's fairly obvious to us. The problem is that Apple have created an environment where people are encouraged not to use their faculties. Apple insist on acting the way they do with the store, so it falls to them to make sure crap like this never sees the light of day. I mean really, which member of the Apple team allowed Word 2012 through?


Probably near closing time and failing to meet quota...

I mean, with the number of apps they have to check, it must be a sweatshop.


I'd be very interested to know in which country these app reviewers are, whether they're educated, whether they're being paid well, and how the working conditions are for them.


You should ask Mike Daisey to check that out for us.



Yeah, it was meant a joke, but either people didn't get it, or people don't like it. I should know better than to try to be funny.


Considering the scams people fall for on the web, I'm hard pressed to see this as something Apple created - or do you think social engineering attacks didn't work before the app store?
