Reloading Calculator App Deemed “Mature Content” by Apple

From GunsHolstersAndGear.com:

However, according to the listed ratings, this fancy Excel formula is not suitable for anyone under the age of 17.  On the Apple site, in bold blue letters, is the warning:

You must be at least 17 years old to download this app.

Seriously?

In an effort to justify the rating, these reasons are listed:

  • Frequent/Intense Realistic Violence
  • Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes

The iPhone Has Passed a Key Security Threshold

From: Technology Review

At the heart of Apple’s security architecture is the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm (AES), a data-scrambling system published in 1998 and adopted as a U.S. government standard in 2001. After more than a decade of exhaustive analysis, AES is widely regarded as unbreakable. The algorithm is so strong that no computer imaginable for the foreseeable future—even a quantum computer—would be able to crack a truly random 256-bit AES key. The National Security Agency has approved AES-256 for storing top-secret data.
