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....
@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Indeed. The guy's practically a minor deity, now one level up above Vince Offer because of the hooker scandal. I just hope that this little faux pas of theirs encourages some change in their seemingly arbitrary approval process.
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).
@pixelpushing: Don't forget apps like "Akapee" which let you experience the thrill of urination.
. . .
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.
@Preyfar: Bear with me, but I don't see those things as "it's gotten worse." If you don't like them, you can obviously only use apps you consider useful.
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.
