A comment on Mac App Store denial. Parent comment

I agree with you that a Mac App Store rejection isn't as fatal as an iPhone App Store rejection but I still feel that there is room for discussion about the fact that Apple considers this app to not be useful.

I had never heard about it before this entry on HN, but I downloaded it, because up until now my solution for Lorem Ipsum was to keep a text document full of it on my desktop and copy and paste into my HTML mockups.

LittleIpsum looks like a very useful tool for designers. Perhaps Apple only wants the App Store to be for apps that have broad appeal to "normal" people who aren't designers and content creators.

Most design tools these days have this capability built in somewhere in the menu hierarchy (go ahead and look for it; it's probably there). I could see where they'd reject this for minimal usefulness since, I think, the App Store is supposed to be the showcase of the best and brightest apps (or something like that).

Especially for the launch. They want peoples' first reactions to be "Wow!"

There's also http://lipsum.com which is quite useful.
