Apple is a corporation, not a human being.
- oldgregg 16y agoClever. The only thing more disturbing than Apple's behavior is how many developers seem to be suffering from stockholm syndrome.
- raimondious 16y agoYes, Flash and iPhone developers alike.
- darthpanda 16y agoYeah it's an interesting battle. I've developed for both but I don't consider myself loyal to either. But this thing is becoming religious. I was a little ticked at first and ranted a bit. But I've accepted their decision and moved on. I will not be developing an app for the iPhone or iPad and it has nothing to do with Flash or 3rd party layers and everything to do with lack of freedom as a developer. As long as my application runs great and adds value, what's the problem? Save the nonsense guised as a technical argument for someone that falls for that (the consumer?).
- wfarr 16y agoThe Supreme Court would like a word with you.
- cynicalkane 16y agoWhat? The legal notion of "legal personhood" and actual personhood are not comparable, not even legally, and especially not in the context of the discussion at hand.
- djb_hackernews 16y agoparent is referring to this: http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/01/analysis-the-personhood-of-corporations/ http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/01/analysis-the-personhood-of... which was generally interpreted to mean the SCOTUS decided corporations are people.

- billybob 16y agoSo, to recap, legally being a person and being a person aren't, legally, the same.
- cynicalkane 16y agoPlease see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person "This legal fiction does not mean these entities are human beings, but rather means that the law allows them to act as persons for certain limited purposes..." Emphasis mine. This stuff isn't even on topic, but when people insist on insulting my intelligence with snide pseudo-logical comments, I will insist on correcting them.
- pixelbath 16y agoIn other words, you like feeding the trolls?
- wfarr 16y agoThe comment was a jab at the court's decision to move in the direction they have. I'm sorry that wasn't clear to you. Beyond that, I find it incredibly silly that you find your intelligence so easily insulted. Perhaps it's time to take a chill pill.
