The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform
Precision found a nice little piece of speculation on the real reason behind Apple's recent efforts to restrict app development to XCode. While the standard given reason is to kill competition from Flash and other stacks, this story speculates that the real reason has to do with the unusually large die size of the A4 processor inside the iPads. Worth a quick read.
Most other pads have an Atom processor and can process anything that a netbook can. Apple are really lacking when it comes to hardware and software in the Ipad. It's like they are using technology from 5 or 6 years ago and claiming it to be new. Wifi and a rubbush pda are nothing new Apple, get with the times.
You think you're funny but you've got that backwards.
> I don't like Apple, so that means they're a monopoly just like Microsoft
Instead it's: Apple is becoming a monopoly not just like Microsoft but worse. Therefore I don't think I like them anymore.
The only thing keeping them from being eligible from an anti-trust suit is just a little time.
The Neo-Lemmings will make sure that Apple gets in that position.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
Sure sure the reason is to improve performance in the applications run on Windows; from now on you will ONLY develop applications with Visual Studio and any application run on Windows will need approval.
Ins't there any Antitrust law against what these Apple dudes are doing?
Dear
Why does everyone think this has anything to do with technical issues?
They need a reason to believe that Apple has their best interests in mind. It's pure fantasy
