Apple doesn't care. That's not the same as "not knowing". Get real. Apple is a huge company, both in financial terms and in number of employees. Do you really think they don't know what an "Enterprise" needs in terms of IT support?
You are simply an ignorant fuck. Find one thing that only Apple does that both qualifies as vendor lock-in and that is not intended to improve quality for the user.
Apple does not force you to use iTunes unless you have an iDevice, and increasingly, even that is not true. You can do almost everything from the device itself these days.
You could use Chrome if you wanted to. I think you'll have to build it yourself, though.
Please find something that you are not allowed to do on OS X that you are allowed on other OSes. Technical limitations are technical limitations, and do not count (e.g. no DirectX). Other Mobile OSes have limitations too, though Android seems to have very few.
In short: you're still an ignorant moron who hates because Apple.
That's OK. Apparently you've also given up on intelligence and knowledge.
It was under Jobs that Apple moved to "the" standard PC platform -- Intel. The iPod always supported media from any source; iTunes (Store) was not even available at launch. OS X has always supported 3rd-party development, and Xcode has been freely-available for roughly forever. You've also never been tied to Xcode for development on that platform.
The only way Apple locks you in is by not being Microsoft (Windows) or Google (Android). That means nothing to anyone that has a working mind.
It's taken Google until their 13th major release to copy iOS's permissions model. Apple is not afraid of using good ideas, no matter where they originate. Obviously, Google is.
Right. Because Android's toolkits are used on every other platform under the sun.
Windows Phone is probably in a better position in terms of code portability than either iOS or Android, but really UI is so different that having the same toolkit only gets you so far, no matter which platform you're starting from.
You are obviously a complete and total idiot. Please stop commenting. Ever.
You have been able to load publicly-hosted web-content within an app's UIWebView from the very first day that such views were available in the SDK. That would be iPhoneOS 2.0, for those not familiar with the SDK evolution.
Your reasoning is way off. Apple does exactly what you claim they didn't want to do all the time. Siri is not supported on some models that run iOS 7. The new multi-tasking in iOS 9 (multiple on-screen apps) is only supported on newer iPads, and not the iPhone at all, not even the 6+. So basically, you're so completely wrong it's not even funny.
The owners of the company deserve the most painful death imaginable. The lawyers should be tortured for several decades before following the owners in the same manner of death.
If you aren't a good programmer, moving up to management will most likely make you a not good manager. There is a rare exception but most programmers aren't great people people which a good manager has to be.
This comment makes no sense at all. Programming and management are completely different skills. Lacking one does not in any way imply a lack of the other.
It sounds like you're ignorant. Remind us why you're paid at all?
Engineering (any discipline) and management (of people) are completely different skills. There are good and bad in both fields. The good do a lot of work and are productive, the bad don't. It doesn't matter what field they're in.
I use press-and-hold in my own apps and UIKit even includes UILongPressGestureRecognizer as a pre-configured subclass to use for detecting such events. This has been available since whichever iOS introduces gesture recognizers (5 or 6, I think).

A privacy-oriented browser doesn't make the developer of said browser any money.

I see Safari updates in the App Store app on my Macbook all the time. Stop being ignorant.

Please point out the "good" Android phones available in August 2007.

You and the mod who chose Interesting are fucking idiots. Go kill yourselves to make the world a better place.
You are both ignorant and a retarded moron.

Those who believe that any hitting of a child is abuse are, or will be, raising monsters. I hope you're sterile.
What definition of nude do you use that doesn't include toplessness?
You are a complete moron. One who has probably never been allowed to touch someone of the opposite gender.
Female breasts are sex objects. Until males of our species stop being turned on by the sight or touch of them, they will be sex objects. The end.
You are so absolutely moronic that even your parents want to forget you.
Please stop torturing those around you and kill yourself already.
You are a fucking moron. Please kill yourself.
I would think that something with "firing" and "retards" would be the way to go here.
I imagine it took that long because you had to wait for the Arduino to be invented and arrive in the post, right?
