So, apparently, Apple rejected an iPhone app that made good (and dare I say, obvious) use of its motion sensitivity: iBoobs. This is exactly the problem with Apple’s theory that people want to be protected from dangerous, unapproved apps; I cannot imagine anyone at all, man, woman, or child, not wanting to have an accurate boob jiggle simulator on their iPhone. Nothing I’ve seen, by the way, suggests that the boobs would be unclothed, and every kid with a game console already has at least a half-dozen games with life-like or hyperbolic jiggle physics, so I don’t really buy any hypothetical “won’t somebody please think of the children” argument (not that anyone’s made one).
Boo Apple! Hooray Boobs!
