Swisher reports, “But, by the afternoon, that flush of entrepreneurial success had turned sour, after Apple informed the two that Pulse was being pulled from the App Store, after it received a written notice from the New York Times Company that ‘The New York Times Company believes your application named ‘Pulse News Reader’ infringes The New York Times Company’s rights.'”

How it infringes on their rights I don’t know. It picks up a publicly available RSS feed, but I guess that takes eyeballs off their advertising content.
The NY Times iPad app just plain sucks anyway.
Hopefully Pulse will just drop the NY Times and get back up on iTunes quickly. No one will miss the pee yellow journalism of Obama’s Personal Pravda anyway.
seriously, just drop the Times from the App and resubmit it.
There, fixed.
They’ll just remove the NYTs links, and resubmit.
It is a paid app consuming a free feed. This means it violates their terms of use. If it was a free app, it would’ve been fine.
@TheloniusMac
Oh, grow up.
I heard the New Yuck Times has moved into the White House, with direct private access to Obama’s crapper, for convenient daily browny point accumulation.
“Obama’s Personal Pravda”…nice one, but speaking as a Reaganite, NYT is fairly tame and delivers some good stuff. They are not as far off center as some (Fox News which I also like for a different perspective).
Americans need to be more balanced and less simplistic, “I am a ____”. We fight amongst ourselves while the trash we send to Washington spends our dough without regard.
Stop making false enemies or we are all doomed to be the next Greece.
Could the less mature, less well-informed, bitter political commentators please go find a political forum to clutter with their childish, ignorant, just plain nasty pissing and moaning? You lost. You did your best to steal the election and you failed. Go back to raising the ignorant mobs with your lies and leave the tech forums alone.
Please.
Thank you.
The Pulse is a free RSS reader that still has the New York Times among it’s listings that I just downloaded for free. It is NOT removed from the App Store. This is a non-story.
Oic now. I am now watching the Stevenote video and see the Pulse for iPad Steve showed first among a list of his favorite iPad specific apps and that is definitely gone from the App store. I don’t see how an RSS reader can be construed as anyone’s copyright violator do you?
Could the people who complain about political flame-speech fouling up the comments try to refrain from incorporating more political flaming into their complaints?

They are probably consulting with their lawyers to determine the legality of the critter. I expect it will be back up soon.
Really? Anti-Obama sh!t right outta the gate… People like you guys need to get over it.
@LordRobin– Good one. touche.
The interweb’s tubes are a strange place. Content can be posted free to all comers and then be infringed upon by being aggregated by some other program that merely rebroadcasts a snippet of the content with a link to the original. It seems as if the Middlebronfmen are running (ruining?) the pipes.
Also this was added about the app that was not posted in this story.
“Kothari and Gupta plan to adjust the app and get it back in the store. As for their relationship with Apple, there’s no hard feelings. “I don’t blame Apple, because they have to respond when contacted by lawyers from the Times,” said Akshay Kothari.”

“Really? Anti-Obama sh!t right outta the gate… People like you guys need to get over it.”
We will – in 2012. Just watch the elections today.
The elections really, we will see.. blaa blaa blaa,
you right wing jokers never quit, to bad the per election results show diffrent.
Give it up, keep watching fox and become more if a dead head.
It will be just fine without the NYT. In fact better for it. I am more likely to be interested in this app now.
@ the guy to chickenshit to give a name,
You blast ron for being a “right wing joker” and a “dead head”? Are you serious? A comment like that is supposed to make you credible?
Left or right, people with such a slim view of the world deserve to be the ones that sit and ask why the world is messed up, never realizing that the enemy is us (you/them).
@3monkies
You mean like how the left did with regards to President Bush?!
The Pulse News Reader is still listed in the App Store but when you choose to view it’s page it says it cannot go there. It’s price is $3.99. That’s way too much money for me to spend on an RSS reader – especially sans the New York Times which I like for Thomas Friedman & David Pogue especially.
Pardon my punctuation. I meant its page not it’s page. Not being able to edit posts is a real bummer here.
Its really a bummer that someone can’t edit there posts on hear.

I have had the exact same complaint for years. If you don’t like politics injected into tech discussions, then don’t participate.
“@Ubermac”
Hypocricy much?
And you don’t even have the stones to post under an established log-in name.
