I think rather they re-reviewed it because they were a tad embarrassed because it had no objectionable content and Trent Reznor has a large internet presence....

I think what you're getting at, however, is that Apple is starting to realize they need to have a better team to review apps and the consequences of 'approving' (baby shaker? really?) and 'disapproving' (NIN app).

No, I'm serious. There's a 3D virtual urination simulator app on the iPhone app store that lets you do just that. And only that. The thrill of urination. In 3D. It's like the next evolution of the Fart App. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

This is something I sometimes take heat for: I think the idea of 'Akapee' and the Fart Apps is actually indicative of some of the strengths of the AppStore, and development for the iPhone in general: while others see them as the lowest point, I see them as an example of individual potential, where a single person or small team can write something sorta cool and funny, and sell it along side the likes of Tiger Woods from EA or Skype, or any other major company's products.
So while the Fart app is often poo-pooed, I think it's a pretty cool example of what's possible. I mean, there's no doubt that productivity planners and useful apps are gonna be on the AppStore, so when the weird funny things make it as well, I like that too.

interesting choice of words.

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

Its good to see that he can overlook one flaw and see the big picture though,
unlike most of these anti-Apple fanboys.

Ladies and gentlemen, the preceeding message was brought to you by the notorious iPhone troll known as Airmanshirk.

How about this one?

Because he's fucking stupid enough to try to post an image from his photobucket account?

This isn't the first, won't be the last, and I foresee worse choices from Apple Store content analyzers.
On Apple's side though, this isn't just their problem. It's widespread.
With the games and gamers demonization, allied with the "sue this sue that" justice system, most companies feel intimidated and prefer not to take chances.
And who ultimately pay for that is us, with censoring and limited content.
Good part is that lots of awful crap gets censored in the process too. Dunno about NIN though...

On computers and other smartphone platforms an independent developer can write and distribute whatever they want, no matter how f**ked up it is. If you wanted too you could write a game for WinMo that's about raping baby seals and nobody could tell you you couldn't.

And yeah, I wish it were my first album, but Fresh Prince, Weird Al, and Poison were all near the beginning of my musical career. I won't apologize for Al, but the others? Sorry.

BTW: I am aware that "Eye of the Tiger" is actually on the Rocky III soundtrack. That makes the fact that I bought the Rocky II soundtrack all the more of an epic fail.
