On the brink of WWDC, Daniel and Manton take stock of various issues shining a light on Apple’s App Store review and in-app purchase policies. They talk about Basecamp’s new Hey email service and the high-profile rejection of its iOS app. They imagine the internal strife that must exist between departments at Apple, and speculate about a unifying core value for the company that could clarify their position on these and similar issues in the future. http://traffic.libsyn.com/coreint/CoreInt_425.mp3 Download Audio (MP3, 44 minutes) Many thanks to our sponsor this week: Linode: Cloud Hosting for You.
