It was an Apple rule that anything that duplicated functionality of an included app like Skype/Google Voice/Vonage allowing phone usage or Opera allowing web browsing similar to Safari was previously cause for rejection and that rule is now looking repealed.
The first generation iPhone lacked the 3G technology and therefore would only work on AT&T's EDGE data network. These are the models that are too old and slow to get the forthcoming iPhone OS 4.0. Time for those users to upgrade...
As for monopoly on their own store... yep. Remember the Microsoft bundling mess? Taking one thing you have a monopoly on and using it to get an advantage somewhere else is not allowed.
If AT&T's network can't take apps that the Verizon/Sprint/T-mobile networks can... then is the money they're getting for exclusivity from AT&T worth it?
It seems like Apple is rethinking some of it's heavy-handed decisions and approving apps that would surely be rejected like Vonage's VoIP, Opera's web browser, and this one and letting them in on their delayed applications, or calling up submitters and asking them to resubmit previously rejected apps. This is far from an isolated incident, and I wouldn't be surprised if we find Google Voice in the app store soon.
I think there's several factors involved here: - FCC investigation into AT&T... if they can't allow streaming video from Sling but can allow streaming video from MLB, what's the difference? If they can't allow streaming video because of lack of bandwidth, why didn't they buy more when spectrum recently went up for auction? - Government investigation into Apple... If they're abusing a monopoly app store when there's clearly ways to implement competitors on jailbroken devices... why the monopoly? - Bad press... every major app rejected is a reason to get a Droid or some other more open development platform's device. - Competition... When the EDGE iPhone first came out, it was revolutionary carrying only the default 20 apps because it was doing things that it's at-the-time competitors couldn't do. Now there's several platforms that look like the iPhone and do things the iPhone doesn't... that iDon't/Droid Does ad must have gotten to them.
So there you have it... the tide is changing, and we might see some more "impossible" things happening soon.
This is the fourth release of Visual Studio (.NET, 2005, 2008, 2010) since VB6 and while many shops clung on to VB6 rather than convert to.NET, this is the point where a code rewrite is starting to make sense and it's time to get with the latest. 2010 has been available in a time-limited public beta and a non-limited MSDN release for months now... this year seems to be great for VB-based programmers.
It's hard to write a game that's Internationally playable. I once wrote a 30 question chat room game where the Canadian players had completely different correct answers than the American players. (IE. Who is the host of The Weakest Link?) as a farewell to the Canadian audience on Prodigy.
There's a reason why I serve "America's Most Uo-to-Date Trivia Game" at the bottom of every page.
The problem with "book smart" is that if you're told a book of fiction is true, you'll accept it along with the non-fiction you've also been told and have read. How am I to know what happened in the 1970s since I was born in 1980? At least there's people alive who experienced that decade.... further back in time you kinda have to learn from historical records, and if you try look back 2010 years in time there's a group that keeps getting its science wrong trying to spread information about that time.
encourages the kid to seek out becoming a rape victim?! HOW?!
In most states and most cases, being young enough to be in high school is too young to consent to sex even if willing. That's called Statutory Rape. Trust me on this one, I've got my name the Massachusetts version of a "No, a woman can't force a man to have sex either!" law.
And furthermore, when their sex-deprived priests act out on the young children they're trusted to be around, the Law of the Church always seems to find a technicality...
Most of the problem is that sexual reproduction and evolution makes several contradictions with some really popular book that people think too much about.
DA: Hey Legislative Branch, your new law on sex-ed requires teachers to break your old law on sexual misconduct. Please fix. I'd rather not have to charge all the teachers in the state. Legislator: Duh, say what? I don't write no contradictory laws. DA: See you in court!
A stock-trading unauthorized program is the nightmare of financial IT so there's frequent checks to make sure that doesn't happen. If a financial company doesn't know what it owns, it doesn't know much at all.
If something is being artificially inflated or deflated there will be people asking "Why?". A human rogue trader, trading with money that isn't his and doing something other than what the money's owner has authorized him to do is an international story when one happens. A software rogue trader wouldn't last very long.
All trading instructions, no matter how technologically implemented, come from people. Somebody has to write and fund the program that says "Buy XXXX when its price reaches $Y" even if they're not attending it at the time it happens.
Just look at what a mess after-hours markets are. Sometimes they're offering tomorrow's price today, but sometimes they get bent out of shape. Don't you dare buy a stock Jim Cramer promotes on Mad Money in after hours... somebody who owns that stock would love to jack up the price on you. Worse yet, somebody can short that stock and likely have a profit by 9:30am the next business morning.
If you want 24/7 markets, try currency trading. The US Dollar is up for trades at nearly all hours of the day.
Yep. Market regulations are all about a "level playing field"... no using information others can't get yet for trades. Just ask Martha Stewart.
I really think a rate limit that makes high-frequency trading impossible is a good idea. Just like the TV ad goes, why do you want to sell something you just bought in an auction? Everybody in the room already said they wouldn't pay what you paid.
The servers that run the global markets are, well, global. There's no need for a trading firm to have resources in NYC after business hours, because the people and the computers that do things on the markets elsewhere are, well, elsewhere.

Google Voice will have a VoIP component to it when they finish integrating Gizmo.

You didn't RTF(W)A... the mistaken article was from a blog called "Layer 8" so there was a double-meaning joke there that you didn't get.
911878 calling 625375 new? You must think higher numbers rule around here.
You must be new here.

Hate it when I write a bug... there's a missing "not" somewhere in there.
If (RefererURL is not OurURL) or (ReferURL is Authorized) then {show denialpage;} else {show content;}
It's their site and they can do it if they want to... paywall nets cash but costs views and ad yen. Let's see where this ends up.

In most states and most cases, if both are that young, then no it's not called Statutory Rape.
Technically it is, they just choose not to prosecute it because it leads to a really messy trial.
The laws aren't directly contradictory as "A" and "Not A" more like "We require somebody A." and "A may put you at risk if B."
Tim McVeigh's high school physics teacher was most likely killed (without a trial) because he used explosives to kill people.

Still, it requires that the school provide a teacher to teach it.
Much like other popular acronyms like KFC, CNBC, and SyFy... they've grown to mean more than the original words ever meant.
