Apple Update Means Palm Pre Can No Longer Sync With iTunes
endikos writes "Apple updated iTunes to version 8.2.1. According to the changelog, it offers bug fixes and 'addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices.' In other words, 'Buzz off, Palm Pre. You ain't no iPhone.'"
Palm: "Oh no you didn't!"
Apple: "Oh yes iDid."
Frist psoError: Device type "palm" not authorised!"
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Yeah, you tell 'em! those Samba guys should be ashamed of trying to steal Windows SMB technology too!
Apple's devices are also virtually 100% secure, just like OS X. Having a device that has an unproven security record lie and say it is an iPhone or iPod (which neither of which has had a malware issue since their inception) is a disservice to Apple's users, so it's completely understandable why Apple would put the kibosh on the matter for good.
1) That analogy fails as apple (surprise!) also has an operating system, and lets people develop whatever they want on it.
2) I have no idea what it is your trying to say here. "I don't own a next gen phone because I like files [as in?] and dislike idiocy [no really?], and your post is stupid." is what I got from that. Not sure what it means.
Americans brought the English language to the continent. They coined the terms North America and South America. Seems fair to me that they appropriated the word American for themselves. I have a lot of friends from Central and South America. They don't want to be called Americans. They want to be called Brazilians, or Salvadorians, or Mexicans, or otherwise associated with their country. It's really similar to the way that people from America like being called Americans. Go figure.
Are you just bitter because you have to be a European, and there isn't a country called Europe? Maybe you're feeling a little small because your entire country probably fits within a couple American states?

It's a little-known fact, but the infamous Reality Distortion Field is produced when Apple software and hardware interact at close distances. It's why Hackintoshes don't have it, and nor do Macs booted into Windows.
