Apple Eases Rules For Subscription Apps 109
pjfontillas writes "Apple has quietly reversed their decision that required publishers who sell content and subscriptions in their iPhone and iPad apps to go through iTunes, with Apple taking a 30% cut. It's not so quiet in the workplace, however, as this news has a pretty big influence on developer workloads. Here at The New York Times our developers breathed a sigh of relief once we realized we don't have try and work around that requirement like The Financial Times did. Apple seems to have been doing much better with their community (consumers and developers alike) recently."
Reader imamac notes that Apple has also filed a motion to intervene in the Lodsys patent suit against several iOS app developers that we've been following.

I can't decide if a grammar Nazi making a spelling mistake on the word "grammar" (as "gramer") is ironic or requires the arrival of spelling Nazis.

Right. Because the one thing we all can agree on about Apple is that it's an unorganized mess without a strong controlling central authority.

Android is growing? What have you been reading? Not what everyone else is for sure? NO NO... Android has reached saturation.
I don't understand how people can compare Android (a software product running on VARIOUS phones) be compared to the iPhone (a single product).
OK, lets compare the OS.... iOS is running on over 75% of hand held devices.
OK, lets compare web kits. Apples is used in both iPhone and Android.
Hmmmmmm. Your an Apple hater. Oh thats right. Your scared because the PC share year over year dropped 1%... Apple, for five years in a row grew. This year by 28%? or was it more. I think more...
Yeah. Your an Apple hater?
