You are anti-competitive when you breath air and eat food someone else could have used. I think you should kill yourself since you seem to feel that anti-competitive behavior is wrong.
The parent post isn't Offtopic (current mod as I write my own comment), it's simply false. And the poster is a fucking idiot. Clearly he hasn't even reached the intelligence of a Darwinian Monkey.
How is Apple not nice about upgrades? ML supports every Intel Mac with 64-bit support in the chipset. Each version of iOS supports hardware that can reasonably run it. You'd think that after the iOS 4 "fiasco" that you'd applaud Apple not forcing upgrades onto hardware that can't really support them.
The graphics API has not changed with respect to coordinates since the first public release. It has always used points, and they've always been floating point. What's changed is that with the retina displays the ration of pixels/points is no longer 1/1. And the iPad was released prior to the first retina display, so the need to handle different aspect ratios and physical dimensions already existed.
If you need a class of apps that depends on a hardware feature, you sure as hell better buy hardware with that feature. If you don't, you're a retarded piece of shit, and you aren't suffering from "fragmentation".
That fragmentation exists today. There are apps that exist only for the iPad, that won't run on any iPhone or iPod Touch. That's completely up to the developer, but it's not really any different than depending on a camera or GPS radio.
When has Apple made such a complaint? They have an issue with Motorola, who is provably trying to charge Apple more than other companies. IOW, ignoring the ND portion of FRAND.
And Solaris 2.x is SunOS 5.x. There's the software version and then there's the marketing name. If you haven't noticed, Windows NT went 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, 2000, XP/2003, 7/2008, 2012, 8.
It's not really any more ridiculous than any other marketing effort.
2. Business Market. Businesses really don't care for the iPad closed nature. They need to do their own trusted tweaks to them.
I don't think you understand the business market or the iPad. The iPad can be managed centrally. You can control which apps may be installed. You can do remote wipes, and you can install apps outside of the App Store. From a business perspective, there's not all that much to dislike about the iPad. It can't join AD, but then, neither can any other mobile device that isn't a laptop.
It was not a religious statement. It was an observation of fact. There will always be people who have less than others. Those who fall below some threshold will be classified as poor.
You are wrong. EA only has to keep the servers running for Spore for as long as they like, which is likely to be as long as it's making them money. They have no requirement to keep the servers going indefinitely.

What an adult, mature response... Sheesh...
This phrase doesn't make any sense to me. The statement you are replying to is almost never made by a child. Of course it's an adult response!
You cannot fly on El Al to Israel without being interviewed.

Um. That's "fucking" used as an adverb.
I would think that you "love fucking technology".

Wow. You're very greedy. Shame you don't also have the intelligence to turn that greed into enough wealth to get the hardware and software you want.

No, you idiot. A network connection being unavailable is NOT fragmentation.
That fragmentation exists today. There are apps that exist only for the iPad, that won't run on any iPhone or iPod Touch. That's completely up to the developer, but it's not really any different than depending on a camera or GPS radio.
I install software without going through the App Store. And I don't own a jailbroken device.
But I am sure Apple will be right behind Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony on that feature.

You have no fucking idea what FUD is.
Please kill yourself.
I believe you're an unimaginably stupid shit who should die painfully.
The difference between you and me is that you're wrong.

In languages such as Java, one liners will probably become the bulk of the code.

Witness MS's PlayForSure.
Games have been doing activation for decades. How old is Diablo II now?
Er, generically for soda, that is. Not generically for Pepsi.
Where in the Midwest is Coke used generically for Pepsi? I've never heard it in Michigan, nor in any other Midwest State in which I've spent any time.
