Fruit themed tech cult Apple has pulled the recently approved C64 emulator from its App store.

Users who had downloaded the app apparently figured out a way of enabling Basic emulation, which was disabled to gain Apple approval for the app. In Apple's universe, letting people run arbitrary code on its overpriced fruit branded gadgets is blasphemy in the eyes of the beholder, or should we say Jobs Almighty.

Oddly enough, in the space of two days the C64 emulator jumped on the top 10 list of iPhone apps, but that didn't matter, as someone at Apple thought 1982 vintage Basic emulation was a threat to the platform. It might be a legal matter, or a matter of principle, but in the end the question beckons, who are these people?

Perhaps the Jobs mob is still cross at nonexistent Commodore for borrowing some of its UI ideas in its operating systems, the same ideas Apple nicked from Xerox.
