Why did Apple remove a Wikileaks app from its store?

Over the weekend, I noticed that a Wikileaks app became available in the Apple store for $1.99 a pop. Wonder how long that's gonna last, I thought. Not long! Three days. Miguel Helft in the NYT:

Apple on Tuesday confirmed that it had removed from its online store an iPhone and iPad app that let users view the content on the WikiLeaks site and follow the WikiLeaks Twitter account.

Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, said the company had removed the app “because it violated our developer guidelines.” Ms. Muller added: “Apps must comply with all local laws and may not put an individual or group in harm’s way.”

The $1.99 WikiLeaks App was taken down on Monday after being available for just three days.

John K's new online store

If you're a fan of John Kricfalusi -- and who isn't -- you will love the T-shirts he is selling in his online store called Cartoon Thrills. You are sure to enjoy the jaunty music that begins playing as soon as the site loads as well. Who needs coffee when you have peppy sites like this available to provide you with the get up and go you need to make it through the day?
