Apple Yanks Porno iPhone Screensaver That Snuck Onto App Store
Clearly something is wrong at the Apple App Store. Applications keep slipping through the cracks, only to be removed later. Whether there is some bleary-eyed approval monkey arbitrarily clicking "approve" and "reject," or if a certain amount of the process has been automated, we're not sure, but clearly something needs to be fixed.
This past weekend, an application that blatantly peddles porn (a violation of Apple's Terms of Service) made it passed the screening system, only to be yanked down hours later. The app, 'Wallpaper Universe,' allowed you do decorate your home screen with images of scantily (or un) clad women. One glance at the screen-shot provided by the developer should have been able to clue anyone in to the nature of they app, yet somehow it got by.
Apple has a strict screening process in place to keep out inappropriate, illegal, and malicious content. Seeing how often that system has failed of late makes us worry that the next time something slips through, it won't be so harmless. [From: ReadWriteWeb]

Hey its nice app you provide to us. I also want to share one new app for the iPhone just have a look at this app.
A fluorescent firework is filling your screen. A bundle of light follows your finger. Ever changing rainbow colors come down like a never ending meteor-shower. When you double tap on the screen the little shooting stars combust into thousands of particles. The composition of colors are beautiful and you won’t get bored watching the spectacle for hours. The truly amazing thing about this application is how well the automatic generation of particles blends together with the explicit control of your finger. It feels like your action is an extension of the intelligence that the light objects posses already. It’s a true unique application that has come to the iPhone that you will not regret buying. Oh and if you want to save your art you can simply use the screen capture function (hold home & lock) of the iPhone. Those patterns make for great artistic images for Christmas cards. Let the show begin!
