Apple is pretty stringent when it comes to what is, and what isn't allowed to grace its prized iTunes App Store. The company is notorious for swiftly shutting out any attempt to defy the company's system of rules, with high-profile casualties now including the seemingly innocent VLC Media Player. Someone overlooking the moderation process clearly wasn't on the ball when checking an app by the name of Awesome Baby Names, which bears a rather interesting secret; it actually contains its very own Game Boy Advance emulator within, and although, well, it's not actually very good, one has to admire the tenacity of its creators.
