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.
But...I just said all of that.
One that hath name thou can not otter
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.
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.
