Yeah it sucks, but posting this on HN is a bit much. As the guidelines say "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

So you don't think a good hacker would find a bug in Apple's developer account registration system that'll inadvertently pull your apps from the App Store - with additional background information that points to a likely cause - interesting?
I sure do. I'm curious on what the response is, and what the ramifications are for his applications. And given Apple's push to make the Mac App Store their prominent means of pushing apps to OS X users, knowing about these sorts of glitches is really darn useful.
No I don't really find it interesting, if you read the comments you would see someone else had an issue with renewing on the app store.
The blog not only doesn't go into any 'background information', but it reads like a bad experience mixed with a shameless plug.
There are no juicy details to get excited about; nothing thought provoking. The only interesting detail I could find is that people really do tell more people about their bad customer experiences then their good customer experiences.
