Trent is God

If you read his reasoning, it should make perfect sense why he is angry.

They didn't have a problem with approving the Baby Shaker application, but they have a problem approving this?

Fail.

Android is cool, but nobody has an Android phone. Blackberry is OK but the hardware is inconsistent and WinMo straight-up sucks balls.

This might have just made my day.

Trent Reznor is the man.

I read it, it still just doesn't make much sense to me as someone who is in a position of power and action would rather whine that use his power for something. I'd love to have the power he does.

he makes some really good points.

I don't buy CDs at walmart because I don't want any of their shitty "family store" CDs, but I never thought of the hypocrisy about the movies and video games there. that's just stupid.

He makes some good points, especially about Wal Mart.

Hahaha that was funny. And I agree with what he said.

Trent Resnor For The Fucking Win, Ladies And Gentlemen!

Read this on Engadget last night. Excellent rant.

I agree with Trent. I love Apple but that's really dumb on their part.

I think you overestimate how much influence Trent actually has in the corporate world.

Even if he could whisper in a few knowing ears to get his app approved, it seems more productive to publicly discuss the injustice of it (in case other bands or app developers run into the same problem), than to get a free pass from being a celebrity with privileges. Get the fans and consumers outraged so that Apple hears it and sees reason to fix its flawed approval system, instead of just getting himself a free pass for NIN and not changing anything for anyone else.

Apple has its ear to the internet at all times, and Trent has a huge internet fan base he speaks with regularly. Makes sense to get them informed and talking.
