Apple Censors Dalai Lama iPhone Apps In China 253
eldavojohn writes "Google and Yahoo! have relinquished any sort of ethical integrity with regards to free speech in China but Apple appears to be following suit by blocking Dalai Lama applications in the Chinese iPhone app store. An official Apple statement reads, 'We continue to comply with local laws. Not all apps are available in every country.' A small monetary price to pay for the economic boon that is the blooming Chinese cell phone market but a very large price to pay for that in principles."

Maybe they should pay in superintendents then, or did you mean principles?

No, no, Apple is clearly paying down their debt to China.

Fair question. And, a tough one to answer. I guess you have to look at the end results. Let me see - under colonialism, a native African was little more than property, to be disposed of as some white landowner wished. Under today's dictatorships and/or lawless regimes, most native Africans are little more than property, to be disposed of as any warlord, dictator, or religious zealot wishes.
Well, you've got me, really. It's hard to say which system I would rather live under. I guess it sucks to be African?

In that context, shouldn't you say "Sometimes you have to sit down against certain things." :)
