Oh this is just good. Apple has now censored the English dictionary. The new app “Ninjawords” has finally been released to the app store after a three month waiting and updating period because it contains words that are in every single other dictionary out there.
Apple censored an English dictionary.A dictionary. A reference book. For words contained in all reasonable dictionaries. For words contained in dictionaries that are used every day in elementary school libraries and classrooms.
The best part is that they did not do the same thing to any other dictionary applications out there, such as Dictionary.com’s app. Here’s another great quote about this:
Even Walmart, notorious for its censorship of “objectionable” music and movies, neither restricts nor places warning labels on dictionaries. Apple’s App Store review team makes Walmart seem liberal by comparison.
Now anyone that knows me knows that I have no love for Apple so yes, I do like finding this bits of information and will continue to do so until the world realizes that Apple is the Walmart of the technology industry. Check out the full details at Daring Fireball
