“..Wobble iBoobs is not rated, and the classic first person shooter, Doom, is rated 12+. However, e-book reader Eucalyptus is rated 17+ because you can search the Internet and access the Kama Sutra.” \u00a0Really? \u00a0And now an app called ‘Cannabis’ (which helps you find legal pot stores) gets through. \u00a0Now I’m fine with this app, but its just crazy how arbitrary the Apple store is. \u00a0We can have soft porn, and we have an unrestricted web browser, but Nooo to Eucalyptus because of … Kama Sutra??<\/p>\n
‘But’, you say, ‘we have a rating system’! \u00a0Yes we do, and I’ve been asking for this for a long time, and I think it has made things better.. well a little better. The ranking system is still messed up. \u00a0 From TechCrunch..<\/p>\n
