Opera For iPhone To Test Apple's Resolve
Barence writes "Opera is launching a version of its Mini browser for the iPhone in what could prove a landmark decision for Apple's app gatekeepers. Apple has been traditionally hostile to rival browsers, with Mozilla claiming that Apple made it 'too hard' for its rivals to develop a browser for the iPhone. However, Opera remains bullishly confident that its app will be approved. 'We have not submitted Opera Mini to the Apple App store,' an Opera spokesperson told PC Pro. 'However, we hope that Apple will not deny their users a choice in web browsing experience.'" I can't imagine what would motivate them to do that.
They haven't submitted it yet.
You see, there's this concept called "time". Things that have already happened in "time" are what we refer to as "past events". Apparently scientists have recently discovered that things can be said to happen beyond the current point in time, in a concept they are calling "the future". I think Sesame Street covered it.
But...I just said all of that.
One that hath name thou can not otter
Damn these analogies are getting tricksy now. I think we're almost there, though - can anyone think of a way to bring cars into this?
It is as if Microsoft were doing 70 in a monster truck painted bright yellow blaring rap music with the radio turned up to 11 and apple were driving its Prius at 70 while listening to John Denver with the radio at 3. The cop is gonna pull over Microsoft.
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
Apple automatically rejects all applications that are NOT submitted. However, they don't notify the non-submitter when this happens.
...Warren G...
Regulate!

Yes, but the point should still be well taken that listening to John Denver is also a crime.

This isn't a good example. No stretch of road on Earth is long enough for a Prius to reach 70 MPH.
The Prius isn't going to stay at 70. As we all know now, Priuses are unstoppable.
In the case of the Prius, it won't matter if the cops try to pull it over, as the brakes don't work, and the accelerator sticks.
I can't decide whether your metaphor is out to lunch or unintentionally insightful.
