Associated Press Reports:

SEATTLE — Apple Inc. is apologizing for allowing a 99-cent iPhone game called “Baby Shaker” that let a player quiet a virtual crying infant by shaking the device.

Apple removed the program from the iPhone’s App Store on Wednesday, but critics pressed for an apology Thursday.

Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said Thursday that the game was “deeply offensive” and said it should not have been approved for sale.

“We sincerely apologize for this mistake,” Kerris said in a statement.

Apple approves the programs that outside software developers make available in the store. “Baby Shaker” came from a company called Sikalosoft, which has not commented.

The game asked players to see how long they could endure a baby’s cries and then shake the phone to stop the wailing.

Hate to leave your house to visit your dad in the hospital after a horrific car accident because you don’t want to miss that raid that’s scheduled tonight? Well if all goes well with Vollee, a company working on a port of Second Life for the iPhone, you won’t have to. Now, news of such an act makes me smile while also making me disgusted at the same time. You thought kid’s texting while they were driving was bad? How do you think this is going to turn out?

better use the stylus…

The legitimacy of this video is still in question because their has been people in the past who have seemed the game through their iPhone using something similar to a VNC, but this only shows how the crack that’s known as WoW will eventually take over every gamers life…
