Schiller, the company's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, is said to have sent an e-mail to company theory11.com LLC about a "rising card" trick application rejected from the App Store, a story by Dow Jones Newswires said Thursday.
Days ago, the Apple executive sent an e-mail to Steven Frank, co-founder of Panic after the Mac developer said he might boycott his iPhone. Prior to that, Schiller contacted John Gruber of Daring Fireball after he criticized the App Store — a move that, at the time, was unprecedented for a executive from a notoriously tight-lipped company. But now it would appear that Apple is considering taking a different approach.
It should be noted that Ben Charny, the author of the report, is the same reporter who incorrectly stated that Apple would be attending CES 2010 for the Wall Street Journal.
Snow Leopard disc art
Digging around the latest — and rumored to be Golden Master — build of Apple's upcoming operating system, GearLive has discovered what appears to be a change in disc art for the Mac OS X DVD. The image was found in the OS install icon which, in the past, has been consistent with the disc art.
The previously shown design had a large X with a purple outer space-like background, while the new style abandons it for a clean, white background with a picture of a snow leopard.
This week, Mac OS X 10.6 build 10A432 was seeded to the developer community. Reports suggest it is the final build of the operating system and could be for sale in a matter of weeks.

So will Schiller be sending every developer that gets an app rejected?? Is that really necessary?
I'm being facetious here, obviously, but if Schiller wants to make a public statement outlining the general reasons for a particular kind of app getting rejected via a personal e-mail, that's a good strategy. But I hope this won't be a regular occurrence. Unless of course Apple is ready to manage the submission of "reasons" to every developer explaining each rejection.
Ima likin it.
For the record, the first two are not developers who write sw for the iPhone. One is an ass with a blog and the other is developer of a closed system piece of software. Neither of those nit wits have any right bitching about the app store.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification.
I wonder if the box art and default desktop picture might change from outer space to kitty porn as well. The purple nebula thing is too similar to 10.5.
