Steve Jobs Personally Rejects App That Measures Cell Phone Radiation
In light of our current nuclear panic, the frenzy over cell phone radiation seems like a quaint relic of an innocent past. But it's still an issue, and software company Tawkon has been trying to release an app that measures your iPhone's radiation levels for months. After failing to get approval in Apple's App Store, Tawkon's CEO Gil Friedlander sent Steve Jobs an email at his sjobs@apple.com address asking for his blessing.
Jobs' response:
No Interest.

Steve Jobs has no interest in an app that lets his customers measure the radiation coming from the phones next to their brain. When it comes to pulling controversial apps, Apple is happy to accommodate the outraged masses. But if it reflects poorly on Apple products? The iron fist comes down.
