The Loss of Steve Jobs

It is with a heavy heart that the team here at ApApp, Inc. submits our update to Wasted Time to the App Store.  We had planned on getting the iOS5 version ready for submission today (the day that Apple would allow apps to be submitted), but when we heard of Steve Job's death... Well It certainly made us pause.  It was obvious when he stepped down for Apple that things were not going well.  And watching the iPhone 4s launch with the open chair in the front row, after hearing all the rumors that maybe Steve would be there and do a formal hand off to Tim Cook, it foreshadowed the loss that we are feeling today.

We are still submitting WastedTime tonight, and we are removing any cost on the app.  We have changed it to add supported, with only one small add on the newly re-added help screen.  We hope that you will manage your time with the app, in a small way like Steve managed Apple.  Helping the world enjoy the experiences, and not get too bogged down in what other people think.  Focus on the details, in order to enjoy the big picture.  And to paraphrase the Science guy, dare we say it, "Change the world!".
