But, lo! The Macalope is looking at his iPhone running iOS 6 right now and ... there's a YouTube application on it! How could that be?! Because Google's now making its own app. Which you can download from the App Store. No longer bundling an app for watching cat videos, however, is somehow rant-worthy.

And, in an upgrade to a new version of the operating system, Apple or Microsoft deleted applications on your device. Instead of PhotoShop, you now get NewAwesomeImageEditor, and instead of Skype, you get ... nothing.

Well, if Apple or Microsoft deleted someone application that you paid for and replaced it with their own software, that would certainly be an issue. That is, of course, not at all what happened here. You'd think someone who is a "long-time Apple user with multiple Apple products and a technology journalist who covers Apple" would know that the YouTube app was made by Apple and included for free.

Koetsier may know that but it's irrelevant because at VentureBeat, drama is king!

This is outrageous.
