Discussion on:

Apple rejects 'questionable' US drone strike tracker app

Now that Apple has rejected it, you can be sure that it will not go away. Developers are likely doing one for Android, Linux, and Windows 8. BTW, We need an app that ranks politicians according to the number of times they tell a whopper. Call it Pinocchio's Nose.

You'll notice who is made out to be the bad guy here, really it's the little man who tried to put a new product out there for the public to use if and when they like. Apple, under the BIG direction of BIG government directive tries to yet stifle out one more freedom, that of free enterprise. What next?

I like the politician one even more.

So Apple has joined the Main stream media
As George Carlin put it. "Unpaid PR for the US military"
Just because Apple Censors out controversial drone attacks doesn't mean they will just go away

Big Brother at work censoring and falsfaying information. The propaganda machine controls what we see and hear!

Amen. Pretty clear to see, at least for those of us who still think for ourselves.

No big brother here, but more like Little Brother which to me is even more scarier. Corp. dictating what is right and wrong what next Corp are people to oh wait that already has happen. Never mind!

When Apple became the largest corporation in the US, it started acting like it - knock down anything that even might be construed as dissent. In 2012, Big Brother lives in Cupertino.

Close but no yet.

Reality check http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2012/snapshots/387.html
Number 1 is Exxon Mobil

Actually a lot of oil companies are on top. Apple is up there surpassed MS years ago go figure but MS still owns most people ass.

Apple is 17 don't get me wrong that is high up, way over IBM and yes

This is for 2011 dude. While you were sleeping, Apple became #1

The drone app has steep "redeeming social value." Apple is full of themselves. We didn't hear Apple make changes at their Foxcon factory in China with abused workers commiting suicide calling it "crude and objectionable." It took a third party to blow the whistle....just like Josh Begley's app Drone+

The farce here is that Apple is now acting as a kind of social Drone taking out apps they self-righteously finger as "crude and objectionable."

Morally troubling..............

Excuuuuuse me, but if I am paying for an internet phone, I reserve the right to run my choice of programs (you call them apps) on it. Since when has a smartphone manufaturer been promoted to Nanny-in-Chief? Drone strikes are valid news.

What about kind persons who want to use the program to specifically pray for those killed or injured at the strike locations? As in, add them to prayers for all who are killed in wars every day? There are many nice people who pray daily for those killed in violence, and they frequently gather up names and places, to mention in the prayers.

No, Apple does not want to help 'those' people to be prayed for.

If they are the enemy and it's war then kill'em, yes that's a hard/harsh one but it has to be done. - but once they're gone, it's no wrong and no treason to say a word for their souls, which is what every free man has a right to. Apple, you rob the dead.

That's harsh.

One point further, and that is this: The Federal Government needs to stay the hell out of our lives, and this includes Apple, Google, whatever, whomever. Shows you how this government has sunk to new lows ever since obama stole office. And what is obama still doing in Afgan? One clearly has to look into the motive(s) of Apple, and who Apple associates with. Amen.

And you think Romney would be any different? The military industrial complex runs the military my friend. You have wars every now and then to use up weapons stockpiles so the military, i.e. government has to procure more and keep the weapons makers in business..

Who exactly owns the App Store and sets the rules? {Apple} Why is the App Store wildly popular with developers? {They make a lot of money} Why can Apple kill this app? {Because they can} What can Josh Begley do? {Anything he wants except offer the app on the App Store}

I'm sure that the people that don't get it, don't live in America - that's just the way we roll.

To me it sounds like Google and the US government are in bed with each other.

Funny, the US government finds nothing wrong with tracking the poor with the free hand-out track phones they give (almost shove) to those on Medicaid or low income, yet they're afraid that someone can get a close look into where drone strikes occur in the middle east? Uncle Sam is way too overly cautious I would say.

The US Government doesn't even want the common man to know where DUI checkpoints are at -- even if the common non-drinker wants to avoid check point charlie.

Sounds like I need to live in another country soon, a free one.

The fact is, the app is not objectionable in any way, shape, or form; and does not violate Apple policy.

Considering that a nearly identical app is available through The Guardian, it is plain that Apple is deliberately defrauding Begley in favor of a large corporation.

They objected to what? To many bombs dropped by US drones or that its to much information for citizens to know.

Very critical to keep murder secret. Especially when ( it is found necessary to take out the target's family ) or loose the opportunity.

$ can buy almost anything, excluding your soul.

So The apple company has signed up with the Main flow media
As Henry Carlin put it. "Unpaid PR for the US military"
Just because The apple company Censors out questionable drone strikes doesn't mean they will just go away.
