Killer Edge Racing Pulled From App Store Due To Spurious Trademark Claim by Tim Langdell

Tim Langdell’s back, and this time he’s mad(der than a bag of spanners). Today, Nalin Sharma’s Killer Edge Racing is the victim. The short version: like with Mobigame’s Edge, Langdell claims Nalin’s game is riffing off Edge’s ‘famous’ marks; additionally, Pocket Gamer reports that Langdell’s moved to register Killer Edge Racing and Killer Edge Racers, despite [...]

A New Kind Of Heist: Six Apps For Free

Those crazy MacHeisters are at it again, and this time the deal is even harder to resist.

Developers Chafe Under Apple NDA

6:06 pm, July 23rd, 2008, Lonnie Lazar

Perhaps some innocently assumed once the AppStore launched their iPhone applications into the wild the terms of the NDA would magically disappear. Others may have simply failed to read the document they were signing.

In any event, a few have put together a website to express their frustration. Be aware the link may be NSFW, depending on your place of employ. The argument seems to be that inability to talk freely with one another about their challenges and successes hampers the advancement of the platform, though, we’re guessing Apple’s legal department thought of that one before drawing up the document.

    !) You signed it. so tough.
    2) This is not “WidgetWare.” This is real apps that run on what is probably the most valuable OS in the world right now. They’re not about to let you screw it up by getting together with other propeller heads to play “Let’s see what happens …”
