    It's a shame that Apple doesn't have the power to beat/knife/obliterate his a$$

    So many suckers in the world, so little time. Well, a squad of 26 people, no wonder he was able to churn out so many so quickly.

    Unfortunately, there will be others following in his footsteps. The App Store is structured to make this an optimal financial strategy, and the only thing preventing more developers from doing it is self-respect.

    In a way, I think it's hypocritical of Apple after letting so many of his apps through, and now they ban him all together. Who allowed this to happen in the first place? Apple did, and now they place the blame on the guy.

    On that note, I'm happy to say that I've never bought a single one of his apps nor reviewed one :p

    And good riddance to one of the main scourges of the App Store. Don't let the swing of a million boots hit you on the way out.

    Now they need to go after those McApps people. They have all these "sexy ladies" apps coming into the app store in the games section which is rediculous.

    Happy? You should be sad. His apps are rare collectible items now. Besides, how can one be happy w/o "Depression news" app? :D

    Of course nothing would stop Khalid to register another account with Apple and resubmit all the junk that he accumulated minus the copyrighted selebs pics.
    I have a feeling all those rss readers will find their way back :rolleyes: :eek:

    Nah, he'd have to go by a different name and switch bank accounts to dupe Apple. After that, he's got roughly another year to app farm again. Getting past the AppStore's rigorous security shouldn't be too hard.
