The year saw the iconic Apple too extend apology to its users. Just three days after launch, Apple pulled the plug on its Baby Shaker app. The application was pulled following a strong protest from child advocacy groups who termed the app highly offensive.
The 99-cent application created by Sikalosoft allowed users to silence a virtual screaming baby by violently shaking the iPhone. The app description showed, "Never, never shake a baby." It also advised, "See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down."
In a statement Apple apologised for allowing Baby Shaker into the iTunes store, and said, "This application was deeply offensive and should not have been approved for distribution on the App Store."
