Apple lays the smackdown on Khalid

It’s about time Apple’s super-restrictive control over its ITunes store actually work towards the benefit of its users. It was recently announced that Apple shut down Khalid Shaikh and his legion of spam-happy Pakistani programmers, tossing out more than 900 of his useless apps from the store.
Khalid and his gang, operating under the company name “Perfect Acumen”, had generated over 943 apps in a span of just nine months, most of which were either useless, overpriced, and/or infringements on other peoples’ intellectual property.
943 apps in just nine months? What was Apple thinking? While they are busy oppressing fart-knockers and photo wobblers, they somehow manage to let some sleaze bag spam their entire store in, as Khalid himself describes it, an attempt to “minimize value and maximize monetization”. Hey, Steve, what’s up with that?

thanks !! very helpful post!
Fine article. There’s a lot of effective information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Redhat with the latest beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of quirky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t work so good.
Anyway i love the apple ipad. Put a sock in it all you negged out dorks, the product is way cool and We stumbled upon a tactic to be able to obtain at least one without cost. Think I’m talking cack? Check this : Free iPad Offer – No Scam
I was talking a look at the ipad on some website and I found out that the Applecare section for the ipad only said it is only 2 years. Does anyone know why is not lasting 3 years like every other Apple product? Ok, well the iphone/ipods now says it is 2 years too on the Applecare. When did they all change to 2 years and not 3?
