In what way is Apple trying to lockout competitors from HTML5? There's absolutely zero evidence of that. They have probably the most standards compliant browser ever on a mobile device and they've put in the hands of tens of millions of people.
Their relentless obsession of standards-compliant browsing is exactly what this is about. They are trying to shoot down a 'single-vendor controlled proprietary de-facto standard' replace it with the industry standard HTML5.
...which is blisteringly fast on the Mobile devices it is allowed on and has perfect integration with the onboard accessories of those devices.
I think this is a hilarious justification from Flash-boys -- Flash is better than HTML5 because it isn't standardized, and thus its single reckless proprietary vendor will use it as a vehicle for sloppily exposing internal APIs on whatever platforms it runs on. And this is more free and democratic or something.
It is so much easier to just say "both sides suck equally" than it is to actually think and take some personal responsibility for your choices.
Under the last 1.5 years of Democratic rule, we've had a landmark overhaul of health care, responsible wind-down of the war in Iraq, refocusing of military energy against people who are actually our enemies, wall street reform, credit card reform, economic stimulus, hate crimes prevention act, student loan reform, funding for energy and science research, and nuclear arms treaty. We've also seen a functional government response to disasters (flooding in TN and oil spill). Oh, and we've managed to repair this country's image in the world's eyes for the most part.
Definitely not perfect, but not that bad considering the state the country was in that he inherited.
The previous 8 years? we had an illiterate cowboy who couldn't figure out which country to shoot at, turned the entire world against us, let people drown to death due to a massive mismanagement of Katrina, pardoned political hacks for outing covert CIA agents, oversaw a doubling of the federal debt and the most massive economic collapse since the Great Depression. Oh, and the country that guy inherited had no outstanding wars and was running a budget surplus.
You said that Steve Jobs created the iPhone in order to destroy the web by forcing everyone to write native iPhone apps. That is the exact opposite of what happened. Originally the iPhone didn't support 3rd party native apps at all--the line from Apple was that people should write standards-based web apps because they are safe (and portable).
There was an outcry at the time that led to Apple changing their plans, releasing a developer kit and opening the App Store--and now we have an outcry about that as well. Perhaps some people just like to cry.
Apple has given absolutely no indication that they will cripple their implementation of HTML5 to prevent people from making HTML5 apps that compete with their App Store. They have probably the most standards compliant mobile browser right now (point any iPhone to the acid3 test, for example).
Dude, you can't make something true by wishing for it to be true.
Disney should be forced to allow 3rd parties to do anything they want inside Disneyland. If their customers don't want to go into the porn shops, gun shops, brothels, casinos, and check-cashing stores then they can simply avoid those places while walking down Main St.
I love posts like this. You bought an Apple for the *right* reasons, everyone else bought an Apple because they are brand-fucking Mactards...priceless.
You, my friend, are what we (in the business) call a dick. Because of this, in all likelihood, your wife likes her computer more than she likes you. Chew on that for awhile.
If you think a multi-billion dollar product is tested only on Cupertino grounds. There is a far simpler explanation. It was tested thoroughly but not with a focus on hand position relative to the antennae.

...that the liberal media isn't out to force him to marry a gay dude and have an abortion.
Steve Jobs is not trying to cancel Christmas, he wasn't born in Kenya, and he isn't trying to close the internet.
it's an 'affront' I tell you.
waaaaaaah, waaaaaaaaaaah.

Do you know anything at all about computers?
This website used to have smart people on it.

How is SJ holding the web at ransom if he is in such a weak position?
I knew there had to be somebody.
Well I guess nothing is anyone's fault then, there is no objective truth, there are no such things as 'facts.

cross-platform API? That's the goal.
So it's possible to create the standard but only if it is owned by Adobe?
Wow, where do I even start?

Dude, you can't make something true by wishing for it to be true.
The goal is to make HTML5 just as capable as Flash, and as a freely available open standard.
...because it lacks liquor stores and casinos. right?
Sex is pretty good.
just like buying a ticket to Disneyland doesn't preclude you going to Detroit instead.
is that you've purchased a ticket to Disneyland by purchasing an iPhone, you haven't purchased Disneyland itself.
Considering you paid a few hundred bucks for an iPhone and not a few billion dollars, that seems pretty reasonable.
Disney should be forced to allow 3rd parties to do anything they want inside Disneyland. If their customers don't want to go into the porn shops, gun shops, brothels, casinos, and check-cashing stores then they can simply avoid those places while walking down Main St.
It's really just a question of freedom.
because some people don't want to go there.
also the revolver has less space than a Nomad
or something...

the support effort for an entire extended family of Macs is so much smaller than for the equivalent number of Windows PCs that the point is moot.
I've gone through the same transition as the GP post and that was my experience.
You are clearly making up a story that you'd really like to believe.
I could easily claim you are a pedophile, and I'd have just as much evidence to support my claims as you do.

That seems like a reasonable approach to me. Hopefully the 'gasoline overhead' in terms of weight and cost goes down overtime.
