Art in the platform

Yesterday, on my way back home at Euston tube station. Made me laugh.

They are rich

This awesome (and blatantly useless) application was removed
from App. store by Apple.

It does nothing and costs $999.99. No, it's not a joke. It's basically
a virtual gem to show off you've got a stuffed bank account.

It's curious to see how Apple is becoming a real Big Brother.
Well, we all have to agree they provided us amazing stuff with iPhone.
But everything come at a price, I guess.
If you really look deep at it, the only big difference (despite being cheaper)
found on the 3G iPhone from the previous one are the applications,
which was already available to users who hacked their phones.
The possibility of downloading apps. wouldn't be launched without another consumerist and epic show from Apple. So to me, that was the real purpose of releasing this new generation of iPhones and it was what enabled the manufacturer to dramatically low the prices.

This is not the first time Apple removes an app. Sometime ago I've heard they
rubbed out something called NetShare, that allowed users to connect their iPhones to
a computer and use it as a modem to surf the net.

The good old Apple is dead.

When something genuine happens

It can only be uber cool.
Check out this immigrants from Trinidad Tobago living in Queens-NYC.
Awesome.
