  1. Re:The Number of Times You Must License on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 1

    So let's say I roll down to a garage sale and find the band Poison's worst songs of the 1980s on vinyl for two pence (that's two pence more than it's worth). By your logic, is it okay for me to now get online and download that?

    Given the first sale doctrine, yes.

    And even from a moralistic point of view, yes. I bought a copy of the music (yes a copy, not a license). I can use it in any format I see fit for my personal use.

    Guess what? Flash doesn't run on Android right now either (beta only, released *maybe* this year). Or BlackberryOS. That makes up about 90% of the smartphone market.

    Either way, it's byebye Flash.

    So, you're ok with theft, but not ok with Apple saying how to develop for their platform - which you can choose to do or not.

    Yep, and it works great.

    This infection is a windows virus that runs on the windows machine, then tries to identify information being sent from the windows machine to the iPad, disguised as an iTunes update. It's a classic man-in-the-middle attack.

    Yes, they are being criticized, and rightly so.

    I just saved you $900.

    And really complaining that you have to buy a computer to build software is a REALLY whiny position. You have to buy a computer for Android or MS apps as well. It's just not coming out of your pocket directly. But if you did real development, you'd buy yourself a computer regardless of what platform you chose. And if you develop apps worth paying for, the price you pay for a computer probably is not going to affect you.

    Some marketshare?

    More like 1/3 of their revenue.

    Adobe would hurt themselves much more than they would ever hurt Apple who has expanded their business to much more than just graphic professionals.

    Apple changed the rules without telling Adobe

    You really think that Apple didn't tell Adobe to knock off what they were doing?

    You really think that Adobe tried to work with Apple to get their software onto the iPhone?

    You really think that large corporations that have products intimately tied together don't talk regularly?

    Adobe said 'We want to do this'. Apple said 'No freaking way'. Adobe said 'We're doing it anyway'. Apple changed the rules to make it against the license to do so.

    From the first link:

    "Because the JavaWS technology is included in the Java Runtime Environment, which is used by all of the major browsers, the vulnerability affects all of these applications, including Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome, on all versions of Windows from 2000 through Windows 7, Santamarta said. Browsers running on Apple's Mac OS X are not vulnerable."
