They know they can get away with it because their product has that "i" in front of their name.

Because Apple has access to tax returns of random citizens?

You should eat something, hopefully it isn't because of work.

I'm predicting there are going to be so many poor quality iphone software applications out there that Apple will have to loosen up and relax on their rules. Those apps are going to hurt Apple in the long run if developers are not allowed to share programming tips to ensure minimum standards are well observed.
