Apple removed an app from the app store, because it had supposedly received a lot of complaints. This is just another show of Apple's malicious restricting of their own App Store. Apps have to be personally reviewed by Apple Employees, which is bullshit, and now App Stores are been pulled AFTER being given the green light?
If you approved the fucking app, you approved the fucking app! Is this a hard concept to understand? "We Just approved a law that bans rape. Oh no, all the rapists of the world are saying we should remove that law. Okay them, hooray for peer pressure!"
Not to mention the fact that the app was fucking awesome and removing it is a sin. It let you shake a crying baby. I can't possibly think of a better use for the iPhone than that.

The iPod Shuffle - Update!
OH man, the iPod Shuffle can't just die, can it? Apple has come out with a new version of the famously terrible "iPod Shuffle" and idea so stupid that it should win some kind of award. The original was bad enough, but this is getting ridiculous.
The new version of the iPod Shuffle is so ingenious, the actual player doesn't come with controls. Yeah, that's right. The controls are stuck onto the headphones. And since Apple's headphones have been known to be notoriously shitty, this is a pretty bad idea.
Hey guys, I'm going to use my iPod Shuffle now, just let me get those $150 dollar headphones I bought for it-
WHAT? No controls?!
Smooth, Apple.
Also, it's a great show of Apple Tax in action. This littl chunk of text from another website will explain:
the iPod Shuffle costs $22 dollars to make. I realize that doesn't factor in the cost of the designing and "research" went into creating this, but think about it. It's just the original Shuffle, with no buttons. There wasn't much of a change at all. 72% profit for a thing like this is atrocious, and a true example of the Apple Tax.

All told, the cost of the shuffle's components, the headphones, and the packaging it ships in comes to $21.77, according to iSuppli's estimates. That's about 28% of the device's retail price.

The iPod Shuffle.
Here's something that honestly hasn't been given as much negative credit as it should have. It kind of slid under the radar as a boring piece of shit, but that really doesn't do it justice. The iPod Shuffle is, like the Macbook Air, one of the worst concepts Apple has ever thought up. Apple needs to stop making smaller versions of their products, it just fucks shit up even more.
The Shuffle's size is the beginning of its problems. It's so small you could lose it inside the point of a fucking pin. Then there's the part where your three year old cousin swallows it and chokes all the way to the hospital. Or the possibility that you step on it, or that you lose it under the seat of the car, or it falls out of your jacket pocket and you don't notice because it weighs as much as a feather.
Some things jsut aren't meant to be small, but that's certainly not the end of the iPod Shuffle's problems. First, it doesn't even have a screen because of its damn size. How do you pick your music then? Well...You don't. It shuffles your music constantly, so if you want to play a certain song, you can fucking forget about and kick yourself in the face for actually buying an iPod Shuffle.
Oh and, the maximum space capacity for the Shuffle is 2GB. Try having any meaningful amount of music on 2GB of space. What's that? You can't do that, Tim? I didn't think so. Enjoy your aids and fail.
Of course, the excitement doesn't stop here. Introducing Apple's latest hip product, the iPhone Shuffle. In Soviet Apple, you don't choose phone call. Phone call chooses YOU.

Moving on to the iPod Touch
Ah...The iPod Touch. A personal favorite of mine when it comes to raging about Apple's Products, because this little device is the prime example of how simply adding a touch screen to absolutely anything will make your product instantly ten times better regardless of its other specifications. Not to mention the iPod Touch/iPhone is the sole cause of this new "hip" movement where every phone and mp3 player ever must have a touchscreen or you become a total fucking retard.
Just take a look at this thing. The weak-minded in the audience will instantly be taken in by it's sleek design and HOLY SHIT A FUCKING TOUCH SCREEN WHERE DO I BUY ONE HERE'S MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
The more intelligent ones in the crowd will, at very least, reserve their judgment for the specifications and....The price.
The price on these things is ridiculous for the screen size and hard drive space you get. The 32GB iTouch, as of this date, is $400 fucking dollars. That is the most unacceptable price for a 32GB MP3 player I have ever heard, flashy touch screen or not. I own a Zune 80GB, and it has 48 extra GB of space. The screen is 0.2 inches smaller than the iTouch. Guess the price difference? The iTouch is an entire two hundred dollars more. Could a touch screen honestly be worth that much to someone, in place of actual useful functions?
You might say, "baawwwww, I don't need 80GB of space you fat fuck!" Yeah? Then buy a 30GB Zune, or 16GB Zune (I'm using a Zune as an example, there are plenty of good non-touchscreen MP3 players out there that aren't Apple products). Both of those are cheaper than their iTouch counterparts, by far.
And trust me, this amazing touch screen everyone praises really isn't the most amazing thing to grace this Earth since Jesus Christ made a bunch of bread and fish or however that went. As hard as it is to believe, touch screens can actually be an inconvenience sometimes. Like when you are such a fat fuck you cant use your pudgy little fingers to press the icons on your screen. Also, I hope you enjoy mucking up your SLEEK STYLAN HIP iTouch with your grubby fingers. Those fingerprints all over your screen will go great with the black gloss all around it.
Hey, guess what? The games suck too. Now, I'm not promoting the games for Zune (they suck just as much), but Apple hyped up the games part just as much as the fact that it actually plays MP3's. So the average consumer, seeing the commercial, will expect to get some awesome games. Too bad they will have to look somewhere else, since the games are terrible gimmicks.
Oh, and the headphones are terrible, yet add a huge cost to the final price. What a waste.
