I'm just back from the Int'l Lisp Conference. Go to the App Store<br>
and download Farmageddon for your iPhone. It is a cute, silly<br>
game featuring ducks, geese, and, yes, cows.<br>

And it's written entirely in Gambit Scheme.<br>

Mac app store (no the iOS store for iPad, iPod, iPhone) will be

things such as the lack of Java support (the latest version of Java has
been declared to be depreciated by Apple). I wonder if a CCL app would
be OK? Anybody cares to speculate? I would assume so. Also, what is the
deal with do not "</span>implement their own copy protection"? Does
Apple include some copyright support for Mac apps sold via the Mac app
store? Unfortunately, I do not have access to the details provided
here: <a href="http://developer.apple.com/appstore/mac/resources/approval/guidelines.html" moz-do-not-send="true">http://developer.apple.com/appstore/mac/resources/approval/guidelines.html</a> </div>

<div>Exciting times for people developing CCL app and trying to sell
them? Depending on the fine print... perhaps.</div>
