The link that is provided to suggest the accuracy of this new approach doesn't really describe the studies used to determine the accuracy. At a minimum we have to know how the study or studies were conducted before we can be sure the researchers aren't just blowing smoke.
Lie detectors can't be admitted as evidence anywhere in the US. Those jurisdictions outside the US that would be tempted to use it probably are already using a kangaroo court so they don't really need evidence to convict anyway.
Yes, that is the standard excuse, but it doesn't wash. There's a difference between pointing out that a lock can be picked and demonstrating in detail how to do it. Especially when the audience isn't limited to the owner of the lock.
Well, there are a lot of assumptions you make in your question, but essentially, the answer is yes, they should. Does Apple provide any warranty on the apps that are sold in the App Store? Does the App Store include any ugly or worthless Apps? The answers are "no" and "yes" respectively.
If you use the principle of Occam's razor, you'd come to the conclusion that Apple's actions are based on financial self-interest, not on ease of debugging.
I seriously doubt that Apple plays any role in debugging third-party apps whether they're written in Objective-C or not. So I think this issue is a red herring.
If only speech recognition's problems were limited to these low-probability sentences. I've had a number of SR systems fail to recognize my "yes" and "no" responses.
The items you mention are all low-level details typically handled seamlessly by the OS. When was the last time you couldn't use a trackball because the application didn't have special trackball code?
What about the GNU's reverse-inheritance part of "freedom"? The concept that software that satisfies the four "freedoms" still isn't considered "free" unless it restricts users from making derivative works closed. In the spirit of Animal Farm, some user freedoms are "freer" than others.

Which for most users is a non-problem.
Yes, and any effective countermeasure should be scored as a failure unless it's something like rolling around during the MRI.

Perhaps you're thinking of a night deposit box which isn't an ATM. There were no ATMs in the 1950s.
Or the white-hats could just mind their own business and avoid a catch-22 situation.
"Why? For pointing out security flaws?"

But it's the developers' problem and thus isn't a logical reason for Apple to require Objective-C apps.
In the article Apple execs claim that iTunes and the App Store don't make much profit, but don't provide any actual numbers.
The difference is that there is competition in PCs and other devices that run Windows. There isn't any competition in the Apple hardware market.
Argh!
should have been:
And by "decent" I assume you mean "created by Apple".
"It's also worth noting that when Apple opened the iTunes store, there weren't really other decent online stores out there."
And by "decent" I assume you mean "not created by Apple".

"Microsoft is killing the open web."
How so?
The basic UI concept seems to be "my way or the highway" regardless of which way "my way" is.
Assuming facts not in evidence.
If only speech recognition's problems were limited to these low-probability sentences. I've had a number of SR systems fail to recognize my "yes" and "no" responses.
"Uses Yahoo search"
I have the same problem on my PC - I have to use a browser if I want to use Google search.
"the freedom you give to others will be used to restrict the freedom of end users and third parties."
No, because if you don't give that freedom to others you're already restricting the freedom of end users and third parties.
She may be hoping to be rehired by Apple.
You mean supporting phones from four different makers costs more than supporting one?
The items you mention are all low-level details typically handled seamlessly by the OS. When was the last time you couldn't use a trackball because the application didn't have special trackball code?
"When's the last time any other product took over the market due to monopolistic tying and then got beaten back?"
Sometime in the future?
