Story: Apple Rejects App That Tracks U.S. Drone Strikes

First it was rejected with the reason

I am sure everyone was paying close attention to the Apple V. Samsung trial for the last few weeks. While I am happy that it is over, I am very disappointed with the outcome which shouldn't be any surprise to any of you. It is because I know that Apple isn't the first company to come up with a Mobile device with touch driven UI (since I have used PDAs such as IPAQ) not did it invent pinch-to-zoom and other gestures (I had the opportunity to use Microsoft Surface since early days). Worst of all, the trial was unfair as Judge did not allow some key evidence in the trial.

I really hope that Samsung appeals the ruling and taking it to Supreme Court if it has to. For more detailed analysis, here are some links for further analysis
