This app is not a game — it’s a fully functional app that a real sniper could attach to their piece and have all the maths done for them — complex ballistics variables such as the type of ammunition in their M110 semi-automatic, the distance to the soon-to-be-perforated plus prevailing wind direction and speed, temperature, humidity and current air pressure.

Put simply, there’s now an iPhone app that takes care of the trigonometry so that all you need to do is press the trigger. Apple has approved the app for general consumption by the public — presumably the gadget giant forgot to write a rule into its developer contract that outlaws realistic weapon applications

The ipod shares some common traits with the LC series of low end desktops, the LC machines being developed in outright defience of Jobs orders, and the iphone development halfway outsourced.

Apple have always chased a certain niche of the market and this is wry they are sensitive about not getting associated with the wrong kind of content.

With the iphone they got caught up in a whirlwind and just have to follow it and make versions they might not even wanted to make because theres too much money in it. like with the scaled down LC series it’s something apple does to stay in business. The purified iphone is closer to the grand vision.
