Stop Whining About the App Store Bitches

A number of developers are complaining about Apple rejecting Apps from their iTunes App Store that potentially compete with Apple products. 

Err, so what? This is how it breaks down:

  • Apple is a business that answers to shareholders, not whiny fucking developers and bloggers. 
  • Said shareholders expect the people that run the company to take every opportunity to make as much many as possible. If that means protecting their intellectual property then that is what they have to do. 
  • Apple invented the fucking iPhone, iTunes and the App Store. Sure, Windows Mobile, Nokia or RIM (Blackbery) could have something similar, but they fucking didn’t did they. I bet they wish they had and are busy pushing out a shit me-too copy cat products right, but they fucking didn’t do it before Apple. 
  • App Store downloads are going to hit 1 billion very shortly. That is within weeks of the launch. Don’t you fucking get it? The App Store gives you direct access to an enormous worldwide market. You don’t have to do shit! The economics are fucking mind blowing, how else can you get your product to market this directly, this fast and at basically no real up front cost. Other than your time developing the app. What the fuck else were you going to do with your time? You would have just been playing o World of Warcraft or something equally as geeky. 
Apple has created this by themselves. They get to choose who gets to benefit and that is part of the deal.

  1. Idiot Apple Developer Says:

    I am an apple developer. I think that apple should pay me a stipend just because of that. I have not actually developed any programs, but I have thought of many I could develop. That takes a lot of time and, as they say, time is money.

    As you can see from the press noise, many many other apple developers think exactly like me. We are a large group, and as soon as we ally ourselves with those people who can’t stand that Apple actually dropped the price of something rather than raising it, we will be an army! (or at least a mob!) (or maybe just a bunch of sorry-ass, whiny, lamos, but whatever).
