Apple's getting more flak from developers, and deservedly so, for the way that it's been handling the App Store. MacWorld has a pretty blunt description of what's going on, and their take on it is spot on, in my opinion. For a mainstream publication to bluntly call Apple out like that is important because Apple's been able to ignore its developers because this issue, so far, has not really gotten far beyond the ranks of people who had been considering iPhone/iPod Touch development.
The iPhone may be the "it" product right now, but all it takes is for one or two killer applications to arrive for Android, and the market may begin to shift. If I were part of the Android development process, I would definitely be taking a sober look at the platform, and identifying ways to bring its capabilities squarely up to par with anything the iPhone can do.
Can't say that I agree with this position. Had their attack on the Fort Dix's NCO club gone as planned, it would have constituted a crime so serious that no amount of repentance on the part of the Weathermen could have absolved from them having to pay for the crime with their lives. As one of the leaders of the Weathermen, Ayers shares a deep responsibility for the actions of his subordinates, and they were such that cannot simply be dismissed as "sins that took place a long time ago." Furthermore, it's not like Ayers is even repentant, and to condemn Obama for associating with him is not at all unlike the criticism and condemnation that "moderate Muslims" get when they are caught associating with their wild-eyed, blood-thirsty coreligionists.

Obama shouldn't be blamed for what Ayers did when the candidate was 8 years old, as Obama says. By the time the two met, Ayers was a University of Illinois professor in Chicago, deeply involved in education reform, a topic of interest to Obama.
