I think Apple has good reason for this $100 said "tax." I would submit to you, that Apple vets apps and develops for good reason. I mean there is a process to maintain developers and apps. It cost money. This is how business works. And their expensive hardware is not a crime against humanity, but it is covering the costs of the engineering put into the software and hardware. It is quality. Now there terms of use are a bit on the deep end, but I drink the cool-aid. I'm sorry he is ending the project, but Apple has a business to run. Businesses are established to make profit. Nothing evil about this. It's not about breaking even, its about the profit. Look at the craziness android is dealing with, it is a mess.

No no, stop it. You should know the drill already - it's because of privacy! Everyone in the world knows for sure (or should!) that anything Apple does is for customers privacy. :)
