...and you've purchased a copy of Windows in your life? You know its far from a fail-proof OS. How about some other software, like Adobe's CS? or MS Office? Then again, why keep the conversation to just software? Got an iPhone? or an Xbox? Shit man, any car you buy has a "manipulative" twist here and there... In all cases, you just have to know where to find them. Finding the right product is not about finding the perfect one, its about finding the one that pisses you off the least. If a verbal alert is your breaking point, I guess thats just too bad.
So you're refusing to like a product because of it's default settings?
Good luck in life being the guy that won't buy a car because he doesn't know (or care to know) how to adjust the seat.
Why don't they just find a middle ground... create a mobile version of flash, that tailors to all of the shit that Jobs has to complain about? Adobe gets to release a new product (probably going to charge an arm and a leg for it) while Apple makes everyone happy with "Mobile Flash" and continues to boast about something new they are able to do after its been around on other platforms/devices for years?
Other than the continuous bitching by both companies, I see nothing that could stop this road from being traveled.

I give them credit for trying to have their cake and eat it too... but as we all know, the cake is a lie.
Exactly what I was thinking. Is there some kind of "affirmative action" for the government's digital/handheld "distractions"?
