Apple is just in panic mode because they weren't doing what they should have been doing all along ... monitoring the apps being sold in their store for inappropriate content. The ancestors of my wife, my brothers-in-law, my niece & nephew didn't come here as immigrants but as commodities to be sold so the idea that some contemporary white guys that like to play Civil War "what if" on their smartphones were inconvenienced while Apple vets these apps doesn't fill me with a lot of sympathy. I had ancestors who fought on both sides of the Civil War and the ones who were Confederates were wrong ... not noble or admirable for fighting a lost cause ... just wrong.

And this ...I never liked Apple for stuff like this! And this goes beyond just displaying the Confederate battle flag: they limit costumer options for a wide range of things.<br /><br />Micromanaging what apps customers are allowed to use and making it difficult to use unapproved apps is a poor business decision. You should not have to "jailbreak" an iOS to make it more accommodating for individual users. The policies are such a lead weight to what you can truly do with the devices, that if you don't jailbreak your device, you are not using it correctly.Malcadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111796978336546944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-15472737826423259302015-06-26T09:51:47.602-04:002015-06-26T09:51:47.602-04:00Sadly, the Left is using political correctness to ...Sadly, the Left is using political correctness to whitewash history now.
