Apple In Trouble With Developers
geek writes "According to Marco Arment, the creator of Instapaper, Apple may be in trouble with developers. According to Arment, the new sandboxing guidelines from Apple are pushing developers away in droves. 'I've lost all confidence that the apps I buy in the App Store today will still be there next month or next year. The advantages of buying from the App Store are mostly gone now. My confidence in the App Store, as a customer, has evaporated. Next time I buy an app that’s available both in and out of the Store, I’ll probably choose to buy it directly from the vendor. And nearly everyone who’s been burned by sandboxing exclusions — not just the affected apps’ developers, but all of their customers — will make the same choice with their future purchases. To most of these customers, the App Store is no longer a reliable place to buy software.' Arment also comments on the 'our way or the highway' attitude Apple often takes in these situations and how it may be backfiring this time around."
But, according to John Romero, Android is a piracy platform and Apple TV will make you his bitch!
And now! Daikatana 2!

Though nothing in his blog post actually says or even hints at this. But it's fun to pull things out of our ass, eh?
altered that line!
What was that about the cheesemakers?
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.

Perhaps he-sa tryin' to be avoidin' LucasArt lawyerin'!
An enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in bacon and cheese
Except there is no evidence that developers are "leaving in drones"
If i were leaving i don't think a drone would be my preferred conveyance.
Yea, you are right. I was in a hurry so do I still have to turn in my geek card?
Say a couple "I'm am your father"s or "Do or do not. There is no try"s. You might be forgiven.
Better line would have been "The more you tighten your grip, ..., the more ... will slip through your fingers."
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
2012 and we still can't punch people in the face over TCP/IP...
They didn't App Store it would App Store you so much.
When confronted with one problem, some think "I'll use recursion". Now they are confronted with one problem.
But Jobs is dead.
I'm just waiting for the third coming
It's funny how George Lucas pretty much did in the Special Editions to the fans (and future fans) what Vader did to Lando in ESB. Well, not exactly funny, but ironic maybe?

Huh? It's been a while, but I don't recall a scene where Vader slaps Lando to the ground, says, "suck it, bitch, you'll buy it anyway" and shits in his face.
(That's one kind of dramatic scene where a cape just doesn't work.)
