You may be right...but who wants poorly translated not designed for software.
You seem to miss the point...first it was ipods, then the iphone now the ipad...Apple is winning over the masses by delivering a great user experience.
Complain all you want...Android this that and the other..but Andriod as a whole is a shit experience compared to the App store.
And that is why they are winning.
Sorry your wrong. Apple is within its right to no publish anyone's work it doesnt want to.
You need to go back to school and understand that any private organization can not be forced to publish anything it doesnt want to. They have a right to not do what you want them to.
Sorry but you whole point is not valid nor legal.
Also realize this cartoonist can still get his work on the platform via the web browser....so its not ever censorship...you have no right to demand access to their store.
But hey keep claiming what you think this is...its not and it only makes you look like a god damn fool...but hey you are.
And you like the Asus 1005HA seem to think that these larger and in the 15.4" example...HUGE examples can compete with the form factor of the ipad.
I do not believe that either on of you has handled and used the ipad....or else you would not try to make such LAME ASS comparisons.
Oh and hate all you want on Apple platform....the problem is....the platform works and works well. No other platform performs at the user level like Apples. Thus their rise in world wide importance....not because they squeezed people out....but because they built the better mouse trap and the world is beating a path to their door.
It is a text book example of doing it right.
Sorry haters....the numbers do not lie.
Sounds like to me...you arent a big enough player (ie read...my friend does have a small software company that does jump through those kinds of hoops and does well...so do i as a small MoR Manufacturer of Record of motor vehicles. yes its a pain but guess what....this is required to play the game.).....if you cant comply with the regulations imposed by the regulatory bodies and the makers...then you cant play the game.
Remember youcan always go out your own way...but when riding on the coat tails of others products....LIKE THIS...you must play by their rules.
Sorry but this is exactly the reason Apple is doing what it is....it is the one maker who is changing the way its done...granted it may not be in the way you wanted it to go...but guess what...until you people start making hardware/software and getting it to market.....and getting it accepted by the masses....all you can do is come here and bitch.....but nobody cares...because until you do what they have done....you DO NOT MATTER....oh and should you go through all those things to get into the market....you will be just like they are,.,,,,i
Silly/. nerd herd........go change the world rather than bitch about how others have done what you think you deserve to do but wont.
Just like the guy from Adobe if you dont like it go play some place else.
Hello...this is an APPLE made product. If you do not like how the run with their products go to work on other peoples products.
Im sorry they are doing such a bang up job of gaining market share and moving the entire industry forward. Nothing is stopping anyone else from doing this.
The guy from Adobe is all butthurt cause in the end Adobe is becoming less and less important...and this is good... Adobe as a company sucks balls.
Next you will tell me that Solidworks or Autocad should just open up their products...obviously some here dont understand that apples product is apples products. Their store is their store. Just because its a computer company doesnt mean suddenly it has to be open and given away.
Adobe needs to be building compelling tech...instead they want a lock in....and bitch when they cant have it...
Ha...comments disabled by that jackass....because even if he had a valid point...which he does not...see ToU from Apple.....hes still complaining that they wont let him bolt chevy parts on to his ford and have it covered underwarranty and sold through for dealerships.....SAME EXACT CRAP....
Hes an aftermarket maker...he can either play ball with the maker or go out on his own.
Wait a minute. Having been to several of these countries on the list...i see some basic problems.
If you have ever been to Columbia ro Chilie you know damn well that they have much worse health care than the USA. Yet by your BS metrics they rank above the USA. In fact Columia is way up the list. Which means this is complete rubish. In fact read what you have linked too is more "We need national health care" political BS than science. I have been to Columbia and Chile and know first hand that they are 3rd world countries and life expentency as a whole is less.
Sorry you fail. TROLL.
BS...Outlook 2003/exchange still packages attachments in a MS only format. That requires external utilities to strip them out of a winmail.dat file so the rest of the god damn internet can read them.
FOCK YOU MS LOVER and your STUPID ASS LOCKINS.
I have and continue to move customers and vendors to my manufacturing plant over to Linux/OSX.
I will use anything but MS.
NO MS allowed not even for our website...or the company we hire to do our website.
I am so done supporting MS and the zealots that follow it.
Well the fact remains....Jailbreak your phone and you run a real risk of being hacked or compromised.
You cannot show me a single stock iphone that is vulnerable to ANYTHING like this.
That right there proves Apple knows better than the customer, as they have demonstrated time and again on security matters.
When i have to run virus protection on my Mac then we can discuss a change to the above rule. But for now Apple is shining brighter and brighter.
And the open it all up let us decide crowd just got another set back, as this shows why for the average user its better to trust Apple then yourself in these matters./yeah i know plenty here can take care of themselves, but realize your a tiny segment of the target market. this means your votes dont count...sorta like voting in the USA.
Try he used private API's knowing damn well it was against the agreement he made with Apple. Now he wants to cry that he is wronged and Apple is evil...when HE is the one in breech of contract and when called on it he gets bitchy.
FARK him.
He is replaceable.
Everyone is.
So wait since i watch CBS sports Live on my iphone your saying i cant use 10GB in a month?
What about all the porn im streaming to my phone from the internet?
What about the large attachments i get to review spreadsheets and drawings or artwork for packaging?
I do all this and you say 10GB is way too much. Funny, do you work for the phone company, because you sure do sound like you do.
Also i have used a ton of data on my phon (well in excess of 5gb a month) yet ATT has yet to remove me.
Having said all that,...dont get me wrong....phone companies are only 1 step higher than lawyers, which are one step above politicians.
Ah grasshopper...but filing for a patent is not nearly the same as being issued the patent.
Without it.....you have no protection.
And no where do i see that Springs Design has a patent.:) If they get it great then they have something...until then...they have NOTHING.
Except for the fact that your WRONG.
Show me a single case in the wild where a MAC got a VIRUS or was hacked without the use of additional equipment (specifically non-standard wireless cards...since macs come with all the wireless they need and the drivers).
Sorry you can beat your chest all you want but BSD (what the MAC is built on) is much more secure than Linux..and if you knew SHIAT about what your talking about you would know this to be true...but instead you want to spread FUD about the MAC. You must be MS.
Actually Smaddox...i own several companies...all profitable and without debt. I want NOTHING from the government except to leave me be.
They screw up everything they touch.
Crimson it is you who should look at the bigger picture before you show your lack of knowledge.
Did you build your own business? Do you employ people? Do you pay their wages/salaries?
No?
Then STFU.
I own 3 manufacturing companies and 1 distribution company.
Built with my hard work and my own money not family money, not government money, money....i saved working lower jobs and suffered to get them off the ground....i take no handout from the government or their development councils. I have 2 plants in the USA that have not laid off a single worker. NOT ONE!.....sure im not as big as GM or Chrysler or AIG or any of these companies...but i am still in business, still profitable, and still standing with NO DEBT. Tax me...penalize me for my efforts...i will not carry you any farther...and when you are living a 3rd world existence....i will laugh at you and the UAW and the Dems...for this is your making.....America became the most powerful and successful nation in the world with the shortest history because of the free market and capitalism...you and yours are crapping all over that....and when all that is left is crap...you enjoy eating it.
But dont preach to me....i make jobs, i employ people and i do it all without your silly incentives / help from the government. I do it the only way it can be done, by my own sheer determination, by the sweat and toil of my mind and body. But i will not support your idiocy. I currently pay about 40% in personal Taxes and over 55% in corporate taxes....and this is not good enough....we are getting very close to the point where i say SCREW this...im outta here....and when i reach that point....you will be poorer and worse off than when i was still here......it would do you good to read and understand Atlas Shrugged...But you wont....oh you might read it...but you dont understand it.....i read it late in life i was 33 when i first read it...i had already built my first 2 manufacturing companies. It put into words so much of what i had come to know as truth.....
Mark me troll, mark me bad karma....it does not matter....what i am and what i do and what i bring to the table you will never have nor will you ever understand why your silly little scheme doesnt work. Fool. You would take from others to help those who will not help themselves. Sort of like trading freedom for security....you will get neither and deserve neither.
So you think Palm has permission from Apple to use its (Palm is using Apples ID) Vendor ID Number? I bet not. And if you could Read the above Post from an A/C (marked 5 for informative) he bothered to actually quote that line from USB. So it appears that clearly Palm is the one breaking the rules. And yet they file a complaint with the USB who's rule they are breaking. And it covers assigned and unassigned ID's.
So no it is Palm who is being the dirt bag... and i suspect that when the dust settles if they make a war out of this...it will be the end of PALM...they do not have the revenue stream to fight this much of a fight...especially then they are wrong. Sure Apple allows you to do lots of things with itunes and syncing....heck motorola licensed it properly. But Palm thinks they deserve a free ride and not to have to do any work....my prediction is smoking crater where Palm once was.
.
Well it doesnt matter if its his idea or Lotus's.....once they shipped it and made it public it became common knowledge by those skilled in this area...So right then it became known to the world and should not be covered by any patent.
Beyond that if he did know of prior artwork and didnt come clean...when the patent is challenged MS will lose it. It is not how the system is to work. And yes sanctions can be stipulated to damages in such a case...but remember you will be fighting an 800lb gorilla so good luck.
Another reason i hate MS and will not do business with them or let the companies i own do business with them.
Um...so where you gonna get your electronics...last i looked not much was even made in this country and none where grown by my local farmers. Seeing as i own one of those small farms that i also live on....im not sure what your point is. The economy is global...everything you need or want is NOT made nearby.
And for those that have not been or spent extensive time in China...Foxconn is not a bad employer....there are way worse and some of those are even government run....this is China...your life Citizen has almost no value...get over it. Only in the west do we put such a price on a human life...and honestly most of you are not worth saving.
You are correct...yet the iPhone for all your forthing and ranting at the mouth about how this is great injustice is kicking the living Hell outta everything else going. Every major amker of phone hardware and software has been put to task to quit be lazy and quit creating CRAP phones. Apple single handed is changing another industry....See music industry for other examples.
the point is...Apple has a lot of high quality apps. Say all you want but they do. Take a look at the games section alone....nothing else has this kinda selection in high quality games. Most apps have the Apple fit and finish. Yes some are not so great...but the overall level is higher then the winmo and the andriods...just as the phone experience is. And that is as Apple has always said the most important thing. It just works.
Say what you will...every other smart phone on the market is pretty much cheap junk compared to 3GS
Wha wha wha.....i want it my way says peter.....like so many others here...well get off your arses and build a phone or do it on some other platform.....if you cant play by apples rules they do not need you. --- and that sir is the essence of your problem. Sorry but either suck it up or suck it....there is no other option (winey little BIATCH)
I have a 27" Sony Triniton built in 1987 that has been on basically since we bought it (volume down, in kitchen, the cats and wife like a little light and motion always)
And it still works really really well.
Um where do you get this due process.
He was not charged with a crime. He was informed that due to activity (which he admits too) he is being evicted. Check his housing agreement. I suspect they are well within their rights. I have a rental house and the lease clearly states that i can cancel and kick your arse out FOR ANY REASON.
Guess what you dont like it... go rent another house. Plain and simple. As long as their rule is not discriminating then it is fine for them to require that you not DL certain material on their Network.
You want to download without question go get your own network and connect to the internet......
The Government must offer due process...NOBODY ELSE HAS TOO....this is private entities not the Government. Nice try.
No you should have voted for a decorated american hero instead of a punk congressman from corrupt Chicago. But like so many Libs you got all bent on Bush and took it out on McCain. While hes far from perfect hes is a loyal patriot. He loves this country. He was willing to die for his country. OBAMA sure as hell will not. McCain like any Veteran knows what it means when they say they love this country. He would not being doing the crap thats going on here.
Man i actually miss Reagan. Or Truman. These were good people. FARK Roosevelt and FARK Kennedy and Clinton and Bush. And we all can just ignore carter and johnson and ford.
ASSHOLE... YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT IT WAS GOOD FOR BUSINESS IN NAZI GERMANY!
you sir are stupid bung hole....for thinking that anything the Nazi's did was good for anybody.
FUCK YOU!
