So after a week-long brouhaha Apple Inc has decided to permit the release of a new iPhone application called iSinglePayer.
The application enables users to see which US legislators have received political contributions from which limb of the anti-healthcare-reform lobby, and then to phone up the representative at the touch of a button. The application's data is supplied by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The link between industry money and political process has never been more transparent.
