Apple pulls Shaker from App Store
Apple late last night pulled Shaker (iTunes link, now throws an error) from the App Store. The game, a free Tetris clone with a twist, was released by Phunkware on 9 September 2008. Tetris LLC contacted Apple claiming the game was too close to Tetris for comfort. Having played it, I agree with the LLC in this case.
