It is the 30th anniversary of a game that was huge during the most formative years of the average google employee (and most likely the average/. users). I think we can all let it slide for 2 days.
I agree. Apparently the author of the FA has no understanding of the purpose of this service. It is similar to AmazonS3 or EMC Atmos online with a similar interface.
Maybe Apple actually cares about their customers(the ones who will actually use the device). Kind of hard to get word of mouth if no one is actually able to by one to use..
It is also a little rough on Developers. There is no upside to unauthorized resellers from Apples perspective or the perspective of people living in the market where the device was released.
Did you read the articles you linked? Clearly state the apps only targeted jailbroken iPhones. This means they were not distributed through the app store and not in any way relevant.
I can't believe anyone could read the entire affidavit and not believe Hogan and Chen knowingly committed a crime. Combine the information in the affidavit with Chen's and Hogan's public statements and you have a clear picture of crooks who knew they were committing a crime.
Very well stated, I am sure Steve would agree with you. Apple has similar problems in the past with MacOS and don't want to be in a position where a third party interferes with their ability to progress.
Why would someone who is making money on an App give it away as a flash app?
If they wanted to give it away they would give it away now..I read both your comments. The only way they make any sense is if you meant it would be easier for others to copy the apps developers are selling in the app store and give them away on flash.
I suppose that may be true (but not really), I am not sure if Adobe wants your "Flash makes it easier to steal other people's ideas" on their side.

Check out the Wikipedia page for links to the sources..:
In 1982 the song reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart..
There is a Pac-Man machine in the Smithsonian
94% of American consumers recognize Pac-Man
and of course, Pac-Man has been published for essentially every single platform that could possibly play it.
On a personal note:
My parents and my children recognize Pacman and recognized the sounds right away.

People in your office should grow up and have a little fun....
It is not a user facing system, hence the title "for developers".

Welcome to the fun....
Experience many paranoid delusions?
No factual information except for it being something everyone who has ever owned a 3G phone already knows.
Unfortunately your theories get all mangled when they bounce into reality.
+1 for iSSH. I suspect he might have been helped by using reviews as a starting place.
My buddy had an android app that shot his mother, burned down his house and ate his dog! Look! I can lie too!
More than on the iPhone :)
Rife based on a blog article that does not mention a single app or what it does that is malicious?
People keep making these claims, it is fairly clear they are all BS..
Sorry..I did not see anything in the article to suggest any danger from Apples App store..
..I forgot to mention in my response below..the PC World article is discussing a Windows Trojan....
This link and this one

There was one attempt to contact Apple and they responded immediately. RTFA

And in their first article after taking the device they published Powell's name, suggesting they knew as well...
Do you keep all your money in a mattres?
Very well stated, I am sure Steve would agree with you. Apple has similar problems in the past with MacOS and don't want to be in a position where a third party interferes with their ability to progress.
Or the developer chose to use a non-standard application on their web site...

I still struggle with calling things that are given away as sales. ..
