Apple Reconsiders and Approves Nine Inch Nails' App Update
In an update to the situation, Reznor reports via his Twitter account that the update has now been accepted by Apple and that the app remains unchanged from the previously-submitted version, suggesting that Apple has revisited its previous rejection.
Recent reports have suggested that parental controls coming in iPhone OS 3.0 this summer would open the door for the approval of more apps containing such "objectionable content", and the latest beta version of the new operating system released last night does in fact include such controls.

I was about to submit...
"According to tweets from Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, a controversial update to the NIN iPhone app has been approved "unchanged" and should hit the app store in a few hours. Many beleive that squabbles over explicit content could be avoided if Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) established optional parental controls on the iPhone and iPod Touch." :o
Man, you guys are fast! :eek:

3.0 has parental controls for the App Store, I believe.

Yes, I realize this. The above quote was just a snip from my Scottrade AAPL portfolio. :cool:
Step 2 is an iPhone parental preference that sets a rating level that the phone is allowed to access up to.
Step 3 is an iPhone parental preference allowing 2 choices:
* Allow all apps except ________
* Allow no apps except ________
3 easy steps and, BAM, now there's no reason in the world to censor anything on the app store except for malicious programs that steal data or spam people. Come on, Apple. Get it done.
Nice one. Nice to see some people can still twist apples arm/stalk ^^
Hopefully, Trent's ability to shame Apple into changing their decision will benefit other people who are less able to bite the hand that feeds them. ;)
But on the matter of principals? This is great news and a step in the right direction.
