Apple Backtracks After Popular Mac App 'Amphetamine' Threatened with Removal

I feel like some of Apple&#x27;s problems stem from their unfriendly stance. Apple should have <i>discussed</i> Amphetamine&#x27;s branding if they thought it was controversial. Why do they feel the need to turn everything* into &quot;Do this or we&#x27;ll remove you from the App Store?&quot;<p>* Everything that&#x27;s on the news, that is.

Definitely casts a new light on the comments from yesterdays post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25605880" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25605880</a>

I thought this situation was a great example of the tools a developer can use to push back. Good for them.

It&#x27;s just insane that you need Amphetamine, homebrew, iStat menus, and a dozen other 3rd party tools to do what should be part of an operating system&#x27;s job anyway.

Think the source is a better link:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;x74353&#x2F;status&#x2F;1345421211677949957" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;x74353&#x2F;status&#x2F;1345421211677949957</a>

Didn’t know this existed because I rely heavily on Caffeine when I am presenting or doing something that requires no interaction with the mac for long periods of time. And the caffeine app(also a shell command) has been since like forever!

This will happen again for the devs sometime in the near future. The app developers should just pick a different name to create an easier life for themselves.<p>The app name is problematic if you&#x27;re a bit puritanical about naming or saying certain things that are edgy, which infects most US megacorps such as Twitter, Facebook et al. I&#x27;ve been on the end of this because they force their puritanical cultural US standards across the world. For example, in a pub, in Scotland, I can quite comfortably tell someone to &quot;go fuck themselves&quot;, or &quot;don&#x27;t be a cunt&quot;. The way <i>we</i> use language and profanity is not the same, intent-wise, as whatever internal guidelines Jack, Mark and friends arrived at from a US interpretation. Using language such as this as a Scot on Twitter, between Scots, will get you a suspension.<p>Personally I think it&#x27;s a daft name, and couldn&#x27;t recommend anyway. Not because I&#x27;m puritanical, but because it&#x27;s just trying to be provocative. It&#x27;s up there with GIMP which is a challenge to talk about in any human company without people sniggering.<p>It&#x27;s Apple&#x27;s store, you bought into it, you play by their Puritan corporate rules.<p>And sure I could stop using Twitter, FB et al, but I don&#x27;t have a livelihood to protect by needing to being on these things.

&quot;Apps that encourage consumption of tobacco and vape products, illegal drugs, or excessive amounts of alcohol are not permitted on the App Store.&quot;<p>Amphetamine is not an illegal drug in the US. It is available by prescription. Does Apple&#x27;s statement mean illegal in any jurisdiction in any country? If the app was named something like &quot;methamphetamine&quot; (a different drug, illegal in the US) then Apple might have grounds to remove it under their policy.

I prefer Apple&#x27;s human touch over Google&#x27;s automated approach to developer support. False positives occur, but at least you have a chance

Apple is not the problem here, it’s our collective psychotic reaction to the existence of drugs in our societies.<p>Amphetamines are literally medication. Its negative connotation are purely a result of older generations freaking out and trying to control a future they inevitably will have no part of.<p>Why do we accept the fantasies of these old fanatics, who are demonstrably clueless about the most basic mechanisms of human society?

This clearly demonstrates exactly why &quot;vendor lock-in&quot; and &quot;walled gardens&quot; and centralized mega-corp service providers for everything under the sun are maybe not always such a great thing after all…

Let this be a lesson to all those people who were in the previous thread, trying to claim that this developer should just give an and rename their app, instead of starting a media incident.<p>The media blitz worked. Giving up would be bad advice. Making social media posts, that go viral, fixed the problem.

I hate that the media blitz worked, now every developer with the slightest roadblock is going to mount annoying social media campaigns (tantrums really) until they get their way. Not sure if I like this.

Bit unfortunate to me, I dislike the name given its drug connotation and don’t use it simply for that reason. I believe Apple should remove it without a name and icon change.
