Seriously people, with Apple having the history it has, is anyone surprised by this? Honestly, anyone? This is like someone writing a blog post complaining that there are no clones for Apple hardware, or getting a cease and desist after posting a picture of some theoretical apple hardware product...
If used responsibly, I don't understand why this is a big deal. In my opinion it's a pretty smart thing to have in place (Though I would hope they would put some verification into the process in the future as not to be spoofed). Imagine if a malicious app did get out of hand. Every trash blog is drooling to write that very article. Apple's already had a perfect opportunity to use it in the very way we're all worried about (Netshare) and they haven't. If just makes me think that it's only purpose is to block applications that are malicious to the enduser and nothing else. I guess only time will really tell.
