[i was first turned onto this site[1] from an app that attempted to text you every time a new drone strike was posted to this site, the APPL app store refused its submission a number of times citing "The features and/or content of your app were not useful or entertaining enough"]

This is one of the big reasons I went with Android - I don't want to be blocked from doing what I define as "useful or entertaining" on my own hardware. [To be clear - I'm not saying Android is perfect, secure, private or anything else.]

If Forecast.io can show you real time weather radar through an HTML5 app installed to your home screen (the type of 100% open app Jobs originally said the iPhone was made for), surely drone strikes wouldn't be so hard.
