Notable News From the Tech World

Apple has rejected a number of apps from its iPhone App Store since it was introduced last year, but some for more spurious reasons than others. The latest example is Eucalyptus, an e-book reader that gives access to content from Project Gutenberg, an online repository of copyright free works from authors like Mark Twain and William Shakespeare. Apple felt that users of the app might be “offended” by the “Kama Sutra,” one of the many books available on the app. Meanwhile Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader app, which offers access to 19 different versions of the “Kama Sutra,” was approved without a hitch.
