Attn Joe [Hewitt]: Should we trust iPad?
- jsz0 17y ago"Apple would never approve anything remotely like the OPML Editor" Why wouldn't they?
- wmf 17y agoIt's an IDE and runtime for the UserTalk programming language.
- jstevens85 17y agoPerhaps it's an app that should be running in the cloud, similar to what Palm is trying to do with Project Ares. http://ares.palm.com/Ares/about.html http://ares.palm.com/Ares/about.html I think Apple's attitude is that anything that can't run in a safe, restricted sandbox needs to get the hell out of the consumer's device and run on your servers.
- joezydeco 17y agoI'd say that's a good thing. Radio Userland is not the poster boy for simplicity.
- jsz0 17y agoAh I see... the description on the site made it sound like a text editor.
- padmanabhan01 17y agoI think those criticizing Apple's closed environment should focus their energy instead on creating a better platform or product.
- wmf 17y agoUnfortunately, people dissatisfied with Apple are creating N different platforms and none of them has enough R&D budget to match Apple. Android vs. Maemo vs. Chrome OS is the new GNOME vs. KDE.
- gfodor 17y agoI don't get it. The iPad has a web browser, and a good one. Doesn't this undermine his entire argument? Is this more about Facebook or about Apple?
- hallmark 17y ago"But I don't trust these companies, and I especially don't trust Apple or Google with my writing work. I can see a day when what I write has to be approved by someone who works for Steve Jobs before it can be read publicly." When I read something like this, it makes it harder to take the surrounding article seriously.
