Apple removes iPhone application for Offensive Content

Apple Inc said it removed a program from its iPhone store yesterday because the developer added pictures of topless women, violating the company’s policy against “offensive content.”

“Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content,” said Tom Neumayr, a spokesman for the company. “The developer of this application added inappropriate content directly from their server after the application had been approved and distributed, and after the developer had subsequently been asked to remove some offensive content.”

The $2 program, called Hottest Girls, was created by Allen Leung. He didn’t immediately return an e-mail seeking comment. His Web site no longer contains information about the application.

Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs announced the iPhone App Store in March 2008, saying the company would impose restrictions on the types of programs distributed. Prohibited programs include “porn, malicious apps, apps that invade your privacy,” he said at the time.

The App Store, which opened in July 2008, offers more than 50,000 programs that run on the iPhone and Apple’s iPod Touch media player. The company gets a 30 percent cut of each application sold and distributes free programs at no cost to developers. Customers have downloaded more than 1 billion programs in the past year, according to Apple.

Software needed to spread Love, Peace and Harmony

I have been writing on Software and Information Technology for quite a some time. Ever since I began writing on these, throughout the years, I came across so many events which raised few questions in the back of my mind. I summed up all the events including recent Iran Election protest, WTC 9/11, Iraq war, Afghanistan War, War on Terror, India-Pakistan crisis over Kashmir, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Social Crisis and many more...then some unknown thing asked me, is there any software which can be used to spread Love, Peace and Harmony on mother earth? I was totally blank. Because the answer was "No".

Today, we all are using technology or interenet or software for what? Most of us, for making money!! Ain't I true? Most of the Software & Technology companies build and produce softwares and IT services for what and for whom? They use and build technology to sell and to make money!! Customers purchase those, for what? To use them to make money?? Has any of these ever thought how to use the technology or software to spread Peace, Love and Harmony????

I have few questions for these people / companies. If you the readers can, please pass on to them....I beg....

1. Google - Can you make a search engine, which can provide me the search results on how to spread love, peach and harmony???

2. Microsoft - Can you make Office, where one can only use MS Word to write about love, peace and harmony; can use Excel to calculate only Love, Peace and Harmony, and use Powerpoint to present only love, peace and harmony????

3. IBM, Dell, HP, Mac - Can you make machines which can only be used to compute Love, Peace and Harmony??

4. EA Sports - Can you make games, which can only spread and generate craze in youngsters to spread Love, Peace and Harmony??
 

5. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace - Can you make a social network in which only those people are accepted who spread and believe in Love, Peace and Harmony???

6. Gmail, Hotmail - Can you only allow people to open the mail account who spread and write emails on Love, Peace and Harmony???

7. Intel, Asus, AMD - Can you invent a chip and chipsets which can only be used to pass on the neutrons and electrons of Love, Peace and Harmony??

8. Apple, Palm, Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry - Can you invent the smart phones which are smart enough to Communicate only Love, Peace and Harmony??

9. Oracle, SQL - Can you provide the Database which can only store the database and queries of Love, Peace and Harmony??

10. Mozilla, IE, Safari, Opera - Can you provide a browsers which can only open web sites which spread Love, Peace and Harmony???

The answer to all these questions is probably No... 

I need a Software to spread Love, Peace and Harmony.. I hope you too....
