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."
