Mandating that applications be “originally written” using Xcode and the C-based languages is just foolish as it does not magically create quality."</p> <p>and</p> <p>"Many (if not most) developers do not view a company that is blatantly trying to “lock them in” favorably. ... Trying to forcibly lock users and developers into the platform is a sign of insecurity."</p> <p>and then write "this." </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30616 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:20:54 +0000 zigx 30616@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>Check out steve jobs' responses: <a href="http://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2010/04/steve-jobs-response-on-section-3-3-1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2010/04/steve-jobs-response-on-section-3-3-1/</a> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30615 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 12:08:08 +0000 zigx 30615@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>@harley <a href="http://now.sprint.com/evo/" rel="nofollow">http://now.sprint.com/evo/</a> evo? </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30613 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 08:56:23 +0000 meowli 30613@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>I thought this would amuse you two:</p> <p><a href="http://www.break.com/pictures/i-finally-found-a-use-for-it1813892.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.break.com/pictures/i-finally-found-a-use-for-it1813892.html</a> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30611 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:39:10 +0000 harley 30611@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>the problem/hilarity is that they are so brainwashed they don't/won't argue against anything apple does - the rationale of a "seamless user experience" is a joke, especially in this instance. they're busy beating it to multitasking in 4.0, which they should have gotten in the first place! gagging devs in the app store contract, drm locked books on the ipad (itunes store all over again), who knows what's next...</p> <p>the best part is how jobs makes no qualms about his goal of destroying flash - which many people absolutely love. i'm not that big a fan personally, but it has its uses (this does not include entire websites). what would the fanboys have said if gates had been telling people outright he wanted to destroy apple? (i don't think he did, but i may be wrong!)</p> <p>android still looks great, a few months ago i was ready to buy a nook but now i'm waiting for the cheap android/*nix clones of the ipad. still sticking with sero for the price, but an android phone would be nice - we'll see, since there are phones coming out with that 1ghz cpu that's in the nexus one.</p> <p>lol @ this now:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8</a> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30610 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:04:57 +0000 zigx 30610@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>just to add one more thing...</p> <p>this is what i dont like about apple... their products are fine, and if they were not a rape $$$ id probably have a mac... but the elitism that trickles down into everything from their ads to walled gardens is a big turn off.</p> <p>apple fanboys are slowly being Owned lol</p> <p>On a more positive note: <a href="http://blog.e-tms.com.my/android-market-sees-app-submission-spike-in-march-2010/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.e-tms.com.my/android-market-sees-app-submission-spike-in-march-2010/</a></p> <p>The number of Android apps submitted in march was Huge.<br /> Hopefully Google's hardware independent OS will take out the iphones just like MS did to them in the PC os space. </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30609 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:56:45 +0000 zigx 30609@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>i was actually reading this blog post a few days ago and totally agree with him:</p> <p><a href="http://whydoeseverythingsuck.com/2010/04/steve-jobs-has-just-gone-mad.html" rel="nofollow">http://whydoeseverythingsuck.com/2010/04/steve-jobs-has-just-gone-mad.html</a></p> <p>"My point is simple. It is perhaps reasonable to specify the nature of the programs that can be sold in the AppStore. It is not reasonable to specify how developers create those programs so long as the end result meets the specified end result criteria." </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/good-imo-article-about-apple#post-30608 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:36:16 +0000 harley 30608@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>By now you have surely heard about the new iPhone 4.0 SDK language that appears to make creating applications in any non-Apple-approved languages a violation of terms.</p> <p>...</p> <p>What they are saying is that they won’t allow applications onto their marketplace solely because of what language was originally used to create them. This is a frightening move that has no rational defense other than wanting tyrannical control over developers and more importantly, wanting to use developers as pawns in their crusade against Adobe. This does not just affect Adobe but also other technologies like Unity3D.</p> <p>...</p> <p>I am positive that there are a large number of Apple employees that strongly disagree with this latest move. Any real developer would not in good conscience be able to support this. The trouble is that we will never hear their discontent because Apple employees are forbidden from blogging, posting to social networks, or other things that we at companies with an open culture take for granted.</p> <p>...</p> <p>We are not looking to abuse our loyal users and make them pawns for the sake of trying to hurt another company. What is clear is that Apple most definitely would do that sort of thing as is evidenced by their recent behavior.</p> <p><a href="http://theflashblog.com/?p=1888" rel="nofollow">http://theflashblog.com/?p=1888</a></p> <p>---</p> <p>zigopinion? </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/ipad#post-28926 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:07:02 +0000 LisaMarie 28926@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>haha. awesome pic. </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/ipad#post-28908 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:59:04 +0000 B2theREdoubleT 28908@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>HALLARIOUS! </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/ipad#post-28899 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:52:40 +0000 carolizzle 28899@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>you can download and read books on it - so it's also like a kindle?? that sounds pretty awesome to me.</p> <p>also of note: it's 7.47" wide :) </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/ipad#post-28897 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:34:35 +0000 meowli 28897@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>el oh el! </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/ipad#post-28896 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:19:34 +0000 zigx 28896@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/oRffH.jpg" alt="" /> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/ipad#post-28894 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:13:48 +0000 meowli 28894@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p><a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/#video" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/ipad/#video</a></p> <p>Awesome piece of technology that will kill the netbook, or total POS waste of money?

Why didn’t you go after IE or Safari?</p> <p>It’s really simple. Safari on the Mac is easier to exploit. The things that Windows do to make it harder (for an exploit to work), Macs don’t do. Hacking into Macs is so much easier. You don’t have to jump through hoops and deal with all the anti-exploit mitigations you’d find in Windows.</p> <p>It’s more about the operating system than the (target) program. Firefox on Mac is pretty easy too. The underlying OS doesn’t have anti-exploit stuff built into it.</em> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/apple-is-a-bunch-of-little-bitches#post-18493 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:50:20 +0000 harley 18493@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p><a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2009/03/18/apple-to-pivotal-take-the-pod-out-of-podium/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tuaw.com/2009/03/18/apple-to-pivotal-take-the-pod-out-of-podium/</a> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/apple-is-a-bunch-of-little-bitches#post-17176 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:03:58 +0000 zigx 17176@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>LOL awesome. </p> <p>u think some un educated inmates might think someone who got in for jail breaking could be a valuable asset? lol </p> <p><a href="http://instantrimshot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://instantrimshot.com/</a> </p> http://letsmarinate.com/topic/apple-is-a-bunch-of-little-bitches#post-17167 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:07:17 +0000 CDiddy 17167@http://letsmarinate.com/ <p>Prisoner 1: What are you in here for?</p> <p>Prisoner 2: Apps man, apps.
