this is a pointless, stupid idea. apple's whole deal is that everyone gets equal service. if you're Facebook, or some kid writing her first app, apple will treat you the same.<p>if they did do this, then a bunch of developers would have 48 hour updates, and regular developers would have to wait ages and ages. the author already established that apple aren't going to throw money at the problem (to hire more reviewers), so the extra money doesn't serve any purpose other than to allow developers who have 1k to throw away to jump in line of other developers.<p>there have been a lot of these articles lately, where entitled app developers feel like they deserve special treatment.
