Hacktivists of Operation Payback, take aim at your next target!  Apple, which runs iTunes, the App Store, and generally started the App industry while policing its own apps rigorously, has acted.  Apple has pulled the Wikileaks App from the App Store, though it hasn’t given a reason for why the app was pulled from the listings.

The Wikileaks App was going for $1.99 on iTunes.  According to disgruntled users, the Wikileaks App takedown is not a big deal.  Said user Murdock 1450, “This app is just a wrapper for the mobile website.  There is no access to the actual released documents and a Twitter feed doesn’t count as up to date information.”

Well, going by what seems to be said about the Wikileaks app, it was pulled from iTunes for being a piece of junk.  Then again, there are so many bad apps, how could one app attract enough attention for its generic quality to be pulled?  Unless, of course, the Wikileaks notoriety is what got the app noticed in the first place.

The truth is, we won’t know why Apple pulled the app until they tell us; even then, can you really trust Apple?

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
