What Apple Giveth So Shall Apple Taketh Away Again

This just in: Apple has pulled the C64 emulator from the App store just hours after it went up. Apparently their original objection was to the emulator's inclusion of a BASIC prompt. This was disabled to get approval for the App store, but some ingenious geek found a way to re-enable BASIC access... prompting Apple to pull the app (and thereby ruining it for everyone else).

I'm not quite sure what possible damage the BASIC prompt could possibly do, but there's no arguing with Apple. Previously only the Pope claimed to be infallible... it seems Steve Jobs has joined him.
