I tried to order some Chinese food with this app, and instead attained Satori with a side of organic artisanally crafted fair trade fried pickle chips and a wonderful whole grain mustard aioli.

Aside from the lunch order faus pax, this app is probably acceptable for use at parties where folks have passed the point of plurnt.

The voice used in the app is also a bit more pleasant than that of Siri.

The problem I see with all these kinds of negative posts concerning Node.js is that they essentially boil down to "this is so radically different and uncomfortable to me that it cannot possibly be good for anyone else." and do not provide any concrete business examples of why it should be avoided.

Until I see an actual example of how "Node.js crashed my business, cost us N dollars, and here's exactly how...", I will continue to look at such posts as developers complaining about having to learn to do things a new way — something that has been going on since there were developers.

Wow, a lot of pretty serious comments for what I consider to be a completely tongue-in-cheek post that is essentially asking a simple question.

Some of you people need to lighten up.

Besides, my favorite hat is made of copper! ;P

Yes, they most certainly do during review, at least for recognizable branding, etc. The only app I've had rejected was rejected for potential copyright issues.

The rights to the content in the app belonged to the organization I worked for, and the app was being submitted under that organization's iOS Developer account, but the organization still had to prove it had the right to use its own content with a letter from its licensing people to Apple.

Of course not, electricity is not a source of energy and petroleum is so much more than just a source of energy.

Take some time to think about how much stuff is actually made from petroleum these days... it's mind boggling.

For example, your electric batteries would possibly power a wheeled vehicle? What would those wheels be resting on? Conventional tires are made of petroleum!

For oil dependence to go away, mankind either needs to give up the energy and things which are derived from petroleum or find suitable replacements, and that is a monumental challenge at this stage in the game.

Seems like overall, it's definitely code to help thwart gaming of the +1 system, as there is already a cottage industry that offers (presumably) automated +1 clicking services for money.
