Jane, I think it's likely an ad that is causing that as I have no problems loading the page with 'AdBlockPlus' running (and 9 ads blocked).

More info and <a list of affected apps>. Remember, these are iDevice apps, not Mac apps.

Lots of egg on Apple's security manager faces. yes.gif

Wonder how this will be discussed, even if, with the Chinese President meeting in Seattle with tech execs. All he wants is for all devs to hand over personal data fro any Chinese users. All the devs want is access to the Chinese app buyers. "Conflict of interests"? Nah...
