iPhone SDK and Free Software Don't Match

If you want to develop Free Software, Linux.com (Shares corp overlord w/ Slashdot) has a good review of the conflicts between Apple's Registered iPhone Developer Agreement and licenses like the GPL.

Heck I just want a phone, period! A device to make calls, store my contacts and a calendar maybe. But these days, what one sees are these bloated gadgets that have proven [to me], to be more hindering than helpful. Is it possible to buy a new cell phone without the bloat these days?

My last car (a 1996 Eclipse) said right under the speedometer "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY." So did my first car (1988 Accord).

I've *never* liked Jobs but I recognize his effectiveness over the years and respect him for it.

How do you feel about Pol Pot?

Since unleaded is all you can buy anywhere now, I suspect the manufacturers figured they no longer need that notice. My 2004 Alero doesn't have it anywhere: not on the fuel gauge, not on the fuel filler door, and (IIRC) not on the gas cap. I think there's a mention of using only unleaded in the owner's manual, but that's it.
