There's an App for WHAT?


Apple has apologized after a game for the iPhone called "Baby Shaker" was approved for sale in the company's online store.

The application, which appeared in Apple's App Store on Monday and cost 99 cents to download, allowed a user to violently shake an iPhone screen to make a baby stop crying. After enough shakes, the hand-drawn baby displayed on the screen stopped wailing and a large red "X" appeared over each eye.

Tens of thousands of applications for the iPhone have been created by independent developers, but Apple has strict control over which ones are featured in the App Store, which recently ticked off the billionth download in just nine months of operation.
