After Approval, Trent Reznor Gives Apple The Finger

Not sure if everyone is aware of the drama between Nine Inch Nails’ (NIN) frontman Trent Reznor and Apple … but in a nutshell:

trent_reznor_nin Reznor launched the nin: access app … an update was submitted which Apple rejected due to objectionable content in the NIN song "The Downward Spiral" … as a result, Reznor became extremely pissed off and went on a public tirade with plenty of whining and expletives … Apple then approved the app’s update, even though no changes were made to the rejected version of nin: access. Yeah – pretty much played out like a soap opera. For more details about the drama, check out iPhoneSavior’s original and updated articles.

Well as with any good soap opera … the drama continues. After receiving the aforementioned approval, Reznor gives Apple the ultimate finger by changing the title of “The Downward Spiral” to “The Downward Fucking Spiral” and including all uncensored versions of NIN songs (plus we’re sure there are some other Easter Eggs waiting to be found by Apple)

Hmmm – and all this while other devs are patiently waiting for their approvals or agonizing over following the SDK Agreement for fear of their app being rejected. On the flipside, looking forward to the South Park app making a triumphant return to the App Store!
