OK, I feel really dumb but I've read and read this article and I don't get the
story at all. I just don't get it. I have the app on my phone but I don't
understand why it was pulled from the itunes store and why the guy wanted it
taken. Maybe I'm just not tech savvy enough to understand the
Because the programmer is an employee of Nokia and Nokia has litigation
going on with Apple. He wanted to show how loyal he is in hopes of
getting a promotion or bonus. I predict he'll get fired though as a
consequence of the bad publicity for Nokia though.On Sun, 9 Jan 2011,

I apologize but I don't understand on what grounds he had apple remove VLC from
the app store? Why did he choose VLC player? What does VLC player have to do

Well, it wasn't Apple's fault, and I wrote to this Remi fellow and politely
expressed my displeasure with his actions. I also pointed out that there is no

It makes one not want to purchase a Nokia product just because they,
or in this case employees clearly representing them in their actions,
