Ninjawords: iPhone Dictionary, Censored by Apple

Just reading the linked story, Apple really do have to do something before their reputation is sunk.

A couple of key quotes:

"In other words, the App Store reviewer(s) explicitly searched for curse words they already knew, and found them."

"Every time I think I’ve seen the most outrageous App Store rejection, I’m soon proven wrong. I can’t imagine what it will take to top this one.

Apple requires you to be 17 years or older to purchase a censored dictionary that omits half the words Steve Jobs uses every day."

Banned from school for not going to school?

I love the logic:

"Fifty pupils have been suspended after they went on strike because their school stayed open through the snow. The year 10 and 11 pupils at Nova Hreod school, Swindon, refused to come back in from the playing field after morning break on Wednesday.

Headteacher Julie Tridgell said she had to give a tough response, as ringleaders encouraged the students to stay out. The pupils, who cannot return to school until Monday, had been using the strike as an excuse for bad behaviour."

"The false choice between our safety and our ideals"
