Interesting post, Louis, I hadn't seen that one. I don't think 99% of voters will really know the details of the Skype misacquisition and divestment, so it's not much of an attack line. If business performance were actually the issue, what right or chance would Carlyfornia have to show her face in politics at all? I just found amusing the image of California as the once-beautiful antique vase now chipped and fading and gathering dust in the attic.

You would be amazed how many large corporations still do this.
- dthree
I'm not ignoring the fact that corporations go through a lengthy process to ensure the quality of their products. Of course Facebook does this too, and so do I personally. The point is, we are the ones who are qualified to determine when the app is ready. Apple is just a middleman, and they have a very limited ability to test the quality of our app.
- Joe Hewitt
A couple times Apple has caught bugs in our app and notified me of it, but they have also missed huge bugs that went through. The app on the store right now is orders of magnitude more buggy than the one sitting in the review queue.
- Joe Hewitt
I can only assume the review process is there for Apple to test compliance with their terms of service, and any bugs they find along the way are incidental. Thank goodness the web doesn't have a terms of service and a review queue.
- Joe Hewitt
With 40 apps per day per reviewer, I'm surprised the approval process works as well as it does.
- PXLated
Has any other company ever been faced with as many apps in such a short period as Apple - Just curious

Sorry, Glen, the context in almost all of my tweets relates to iPhone development :)
- Joe Hewitt
Of course, Apple can do whatever they want, and I can go elsewhere. I am making suggestions on how they can improve their flea market and prevent people from going elsewhere. I believe the web has set the precedent that big platforms like the iPhone can thrive even without a centralized quality control bottleneck.
- Joe Hewitt
But Joe, the iPhone isn't like the web as a whole - it's more like gaming platforms and probably more open then they are. Will be interesting to see what happens on Android and if in fact it is more open, and if so what kind of chaos may ensue.
- PXLated
Are you serious - "prevent people from going elsewhere" - Where? And pass up the iPhone audience/marketplace? Even if Android is a success, developers won't leave iPhone in spite of all the bitching.
- PXLated
The iPhone is not a "gaming platform" until they tell me I can't develop anything but a game for it. A significant chunk of iPhone apps, mine included, are basically iPhone-optimized websites written in Objective-C. I admit that I don't see anyone, myself including, abandoning Apple over this issue, but I do believe that the quality of apps on the platform is being hurt by it. Just because other platforms are even more restrictive, like Playstation or some mobile platforms, is not an excuse.
- Joe Hewitt
It's not an excuse but none is needed, Apple developed a platform and set the rules just as the gaming platforms did/do. I'm personally not sure the (overall) quality is being hurt either.
- PXLated
In fact, maybe Apple should be a lot more restrictive - 65K apps probably confuses the hell out of many users. Maybe they need a rating system and then start eliminating the poorly performing apps. Get it down to a reasonable (best of breed) 5K ;-)
- PXLated
"Apple developed a platform and set the rules" - well there's a news flash. I don't think anyone needed to be informed of that. I think Joe's just trying to make the point that centralized control isn't necessary for the good apps to rise to the top. Would you consider the web to be a success if there were 65k sites (please don't get pedantic and point out that sites aren't apps; the argument holds for any reasonable multiplier)?
- Joel Webber
"Get it down to a reasonable (best of breed) 5K" - And exactly from what larger pool would you take that best of breed? If the breed's too small, you can't *have* a best-of-breed. The web's an unholy mess, but its size and chaos are precisely what makes it successful. People still manage to find the good stuff.

"After two albums, Shante said, she was disillusioned by the sleazy music industry and swindled by her record company. The teen mother, living in the Queensbridge Houses, recalled how her life was shattered. "Everybody was cheating with the contracts, stealing and telling lies," she said. "And to find out that I was just a commodity was heartbreaking." But Shante, then 19, remembered a clause in her Warner Music recording contract: The company would fund her education for life. She eventually cashed in, earning a Ph.D. in psychology from Cornell to the tune of $217,000 - all covered by the label. But getting Warner Music to cough up the dough was a battle."

If you boil bacon in water or steam it, adding olive oil into the water it helps to blend a smooth texture to cooked bacon. Again, allow the water to boil through and then lightly fry the bacon to get texture and color - Enjoy!

Even market leaders want to make more money, no? Having an iPhone would be a lot more valuable if there were better apps. They know this, so they tout existing apps, but they don't carry the argument to its conclusion.
- Daniel Dulitz
That's not true. They resisted apps right from the start. Steve Jobs probably feels that the iPhone would be better if people couldn't personalize or modify it in any way. Remember, he didn't even like the fact that Woz stuck in a bus on the Apple II. The iMac was designed to be uncustomizeable as much as possible. Jobs truly understands the phrase: "Freedom of choice is what you want, but freedom from choice is what you need."
- Piaw Na
i may not like 's app approval process any more than u do, but i have to disagree. is totally dominating developer mindshare -- evidence is the 65,000 apps in the Store. They're crushing everyone else (Palm, Android, Windows, etc) despite having a 'strange' language/development env. If has a problem, it's *not* lack of developer interest or lack of cool apps from tons of devs.
- iTod Pouch
iTod: I find it amusing that you chose to use the Apple symbol, because being in the Unicode private use area, it is the Windows logo in some fonts. That said, I agree with the premise. The 65,000 little apps are mostly useless, as is the app store that was clearly not designed for it.

In particular, it's a dumping ground for wingdings (you're seeing Webdings), Klingon, Elvish, and every other character set that Unicode won't define, so there's no one right character to display.
